New Zealand’s Kyle Jamieson grabbed four wickets but England recovered to reach 216 for 5 at stumps on the third day of the first Test at Lord’s on Saturday.

The visitors are five wickets from victory with England needing another 61 runs to win in an intriguing battle after being set a target of 277.

England’s new captain Ben Stokes (54) and predecessor Joe Root (77 batting) steadied the innings with a 90-run partnership after the first four wickets of their second innings fell for 69 runs. At the close, Jack Leach (9) was at the crease with Root.

It might have been five wickets when Stokes, on his 31st birthday, was bowled by Colin de Grandhomme for one run only to be called back to the crease after a belated no-ball call from the third umpire in a let-off that was greeted by an approving roar from the partisan crowd.

Alex Lees had made 20 when he was bowled by Jamieson before lunch, and Zak Crawley (9), Ollie Pope (10) and Jonny Bairstow (16) followed as the tall New Zealand seamer returned figures of three for 24 off nine overs after the first session.

Root and Stokes put together a partnership and give them a chance to turn the momentum back their way after their bowlers dominated the first session, taking six wickets

to dismiss New Zealand for 285 runs in their second innings after they resumed on 236/4 overnight.

Daryl Mitchell reached his century in the first over of the day, but Tom Blundell fell agonisingly short on 96 as Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad took the second new ball and swept through the visitors’ batting order.

There were three wickets in a single over from Broad, an effective team hat-trick that started when Mitchell edged to Ben Foakes off Broad for 108 as his partnership with Blundell fell five runs shy of 200 runs.

De Grandhomme was out next ball as he was run out from third slip by Pope, caught out of his crease as he watched the umpires’ reaction to a leg before appeal by Broad.

Broad then dismissed Jamieson first ball as New Zealand slumped from 251/4 to 251/7 by the end of the over.

Blundell was trapped leg before three overs later to Anderson, caught plumb in front of his wicket for 96.

Tim Southee hit a swashbuckling 21 off 26 balls but was the last man out as spinner Matt Parkinson took his first Test wicket, having been a late inclusion to the team after concussion ruled out Jack Leach on the first day on Thursday.
