Eng v NZ Daily 2026, 1st Test, Lord’s Day 3: The sun was out today, but the umpires had decided to take lunch. Before you roll your eyes, we try to explain why. It typified a frustrating stop-start day, with players on and off the field, taking this Test into a fourth day with the game still in the balance. We also have an explanation about impact on DRS. With plenty still to talk about, Ben Jones joins Daniel Norcross.
