England begin their journey in Test cricket under new captain Ben Stokes and new head coach Brendon McCullum against New Zealand on Thursday as the two teams meet in the first Test at Lord's in London. The Three Lions are looking to come out of a major slump in cricket's longest format, which eventually led to a change of guard as long time captain Joe Root stepped down post losses to Australia and West Indies.
The three-match series against ICC World Test Championship holders New Zealand is going to be a litmus test for the Three Lions.
They also face India in a rescheduled Test in July, which will decide the fate of the series that India is leading 2-1.
Ahead of the first day's play at Lord's a scorecard test run has led to hilarious reactions from cricket fans and even journalists on twitter.
An image started circulating of the digital scorecard at Lord's which showed England's score as 7/1, during a test run.
Here are some of the reactions from fans on twitter.
