- Emilio Gay was handed his maiden Test cap as he made his debut for England against New Zealand at Lord’s on Thursday.
- New Zealand won the toss at Lord’s and opted to field first, meaning opening batter Gay was straight into the action.
- Gay hit the first ball of his Test career for four as he smashed a Kyle Jamieson full toss to the boundary, but his innings did not last much longer.
- After hitting one more boundary, Gay was dismissed for just 8 when he edged Jamieson to slip, with Daryl Mitchell taking the catch.
- There was a break in play shortly after Gay’s dismissal due to rain, with England on 24-1 in their first innings.
