TFW Daily – Does Lord’s have a problem? - England NZ, 1st Test, Lord’s Day 2
About this episode
The episode discusses the challenges faced by the pitch at Lord's during the England vs New Zealand Test match.
Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 1st Test, Lord’s Day 1:There'll be questions asked about another dicey pitch at Lord's in early June, with 33 wickets falling in total by the end of the second day. Emilio Gay provided some respite, raising a 50 on debut in an hour of relative calm, before the pitch started playing havoc again and New Zealand’s catching joined the chaos. Despite that, the game is evenly poised. Ben Jones and Dnaiel Norcross attempt to make sense of it.
