LONDON: England thrashed New Zealand by 115 runs to win the first Test at Lord&#39;s on Sunday. New Zealand, set 254 to win, were bowled out for 138 before lunch on the fourth day, with paceman Gus Atkinson taking 5-30 &mdash; the fourth time in three Tests at Lord&#39;s he has had five wickets in an innings. Victory in the 150th Test staged at Lord&#39;s &mdash; the most at any ground &mdash; gave England a 1-0 lead in a three-match series. Bowlers on both sides were on top throughout under overcast conditions and on a pitch of uncertain bounce, with Ollie Robinson marking his return to England duty for the first time in over two years with a Test-best 5-39 in New Zealand&#39;s meagre first-innings 113 all out. Emilio Gay scored 57 on England debut during a second-innings total of 226 as the hosts enjoyed a comprehensive win in their first Test since a 4-1 Ashes loss in Australia completed in January. This series continues across London at the Oval, where the second Test starts on June 17.
