England were off to a solid start against New Zealand in Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum's first Test as captain and head coach, respectively. After the Kiwis elected to bat first at Lord's, James Anderson struck twice in as many overs to remove New Zealand openers Will Young and Tom Latham. However, it was Jonny Bairstow who played a big part in both the dismissals, taking two "outrageous" catches at third slip. Young was the first one to depart after Anderson lured him into playing a drive.
