Captain Joe Root and opener Rory Burns led England's recovery on Day 2 of the Test series opener against New Zealand at the Lord's on Thursday.

England finished the day on 111 for 2 after Root and Burns added 93 runs for the 3rd wicket. Senior pacer Southee, who is leading the New Zealand attack in the absence of Trent Boult, picked up opener Dom Sibley for nought after which tall Jamieson got Dan Lawrence for 2.
