Ollie Robinson-Kyle Jamieson: The first match of the Test series between England and New Zealand is being played at Lord’s. On the very first day of this Test match, which started from June 4, there was a showdown between two such bowlers, who returned to Test cricket after 27 months through this match. One of them was England’s fast bowler Olly Robinson and the other was New Zealand’s pacer Kyle Jamieson. On the first day of the England-New Zealand Test match, both these bowlers lined up wickets for their respective teams as soon as they held the ball in their hands. A total of 16 wickets fell on the first day of the Test match, out of which 9 wickets were taken only by the two bowlers who returned to the Test after a long time.
