England earn a 124-run victory over New Zealand in the first Test at Lord's.

England have beaten New Zealand by 124 runs to win a dramatic first Test at Lord's.

The tourists were set a target of 345 to win the match, but they were bowled out for 220 on a dramatic final day.

Starting the morning session on 429-6, England were eventually bowled out for 478 as Alastair Cook (162), Moeen Ali (43), Stuart Broad (10) and James Anderson (duck) were all dismissed by Trent Boult.

New Zealand's time at the crease got off to a bad start as Martin Guptill was bowled by Anderson for a second-ball duck. Broad then took out Tom Latham with his first ball of the day before Broad struck again when Ross Taylor was sent back to the pavilion for eight to leave the tourists on 12-3 at lunch.

Despite resistance from Corey Anderson and BJ Watling, two more New Zealand wickets fell at tea as the visitors reached 134-5. Kane Williamson (27) and Brendon McCullum (golden duck) were dismissed with successive deliveries by Ben Stokes, whose work with the ball revived the home side.

England turned the screw during the final session of the day, with the wickets of Watling (59), Anderson (67), Mark Craig (4), Tim Southee (20) and Boult (10) all falling. Mark Wood, Joe Root, Moeen Ali, Stokes and Broad all did the damage with the ball, handing England a significant victory.
