On Day 4, England needed 61 runs while New Zealand needed five wickets. But despite overcast conditions aiding seamers, Joe Root and Ben Foakes did not make any mistakes. But the Lord’s pitch had eased out and Root took full advantage of that, smashing his 26th Test century and brought up 10,000 runs to seal the deal for England.

New Zealand’s seamers, previously so potent through the Test, found no swing on a cold morning and failed to test the batsmen as the pair picked off the runs with little alarm after England had resumed at 216 for five, needing 61 for victory.

England captain Ben Stokes can celebrate victory in his first Test in charge and will be targeting a series win when the second of three Tests gets underway at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Friday.
