Gus Atkinson's love-affair with Lord's continued as England thrashed New Zealand by 115 runs to win the first Test at Lord'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 -- the fourth time in three Tests at Lord's he has had five wickets in an innings.
Victory in the 150th Test staged at Lord's -- the most at any ground -- 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'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.
