    MCC know that they need to do lot of work to get this square right. Its been very difficult for the batters, very easy for the bowlers but you look at the fielding element, that's where New Zealand really let themselves down.

    It's been a shocker, the MCC will know that. Maybe that will instigate some movement in terms of change, maybe this week had to happen for a bit of the square to be dug up and replaced.

    New Zealand skipper Tom Latham speaking to BBC TMS: "It's a surface that we weren't expecting. I don't think anyone was expecting that. There were two highly talented bowling attacks that exploited those conditions.

    "We had those opportunities from a fielding perspective and we weren't able to capitalise. There are small moments that you have to take and we didn't take them. It's not ideal but it is what it is, we were faced with the same conditions.

    "Throughout Tests some things swing your way, that's the nature of the sport. That's down to umpires' decisions so I think it's important that we don't delve too much into this game. For us its about trusting the work that we've been putting in."

    Here's how Gus Atkinson sealed the win for England as he finished with figures of 5-30.

    Stay with us as we recap the Test, and we'll hear from both camps shortly.

    It'll be very interesting to hear what the players have to say about the pitch, as we've heard plenty from the pundits!

    Only three men have more five-wicket hauls at Lord's than Gus Atkinson: Ian Botham, Fred Trueman and James Anderson.

    There are cracks underneath the tufts, it's one of those pitches that as a batter you're never feeling "in" and that's not how the game should be played.

    It looked a bit of a crime scene, it's an odd-looking pitch.

    That was Gus Atkinson's fourth five-wicket haul at Lord's.

    He has picked up 26 wickets at an average of just 9.5. Only three other bowlers have a lower average than him at any venue (minimum 20 wickets at a venue).

    His strike-rate of 15.4 in Lord's is the best in the world at a venue with at least 20 wickets.

    Glenn Phillips and Devon Conway provided some resistance for New Zealand this morning, with the former left stranded on 44 not out.

    The pitch, unfortunately, is going to dominate most of the discourse. It has been inconsistent from the first ball, with two fine half-centuries from Harry Brook and Emilio Gay the outliers.

    But England have taken one step to putting their Ashes woes behind them.

    Finished off emphatically by Gus Atkinson. His record at Lord's is unbelievable and he's onto the honours board yet again.

    An odd Test in many ways but, for England, after their Ashes debacle, it's back to winning ways.

    That was quite a spectacular finish, the middle stump is still lying flat on the square.

    Gus Atkinson gets the winning wicket and his five-wicket haul!

    Rather fittingly, the Test match finishes with the stumps splattered across the Lord's turf.

    England start their Test match summer with a comprehensive win, and it's fair to say that it was one for the bowlers.

    Target 254

    Another dot ball as Josh Tongue bangs it in short.

    Jamie Smith appeals from behind the stumps but Stokes and Tongue aren't interested.

    Matt Henry, over to you!

    Again, Glenn Phillips inadvertently gets a boundary from the penultimate ball!

    One of the problems for Glenn Phillips is that even running a two is out of the question because Matt Henry is possibly not mobile enough.

    Target 254

    Matt Henry pokes and prods his way through a Gus Atkinson maiden.

  16. NZ 134-9published at 38.2 overs

    Glenn Phillips is absolutely rapid so he can probably get a single from anywhere, but the problem he has is that Matt Henry's been struggling with his back so he won't be as nimble.

    Target 254

    Nope. Dot ball, well bowled.

    Matt Henry will be on strike.

    Target 254

    Six! A short ball is helped on its way over fine leg!

    Can Glenn Phillips get the single now from the final ball of Tongue's over? The field comes in.

    Glenn Phillips is such a wonderful timer of the ball, particularly through the off side.

    Still, he somehow finds the ropes!

    That has been absolutely nailed through the covers by Phillips. Cracking shot.
