Ollie Robinson makes stunning return to England Test team to send Lord’s wild

  • Ollie Robinson took three wickets in his first over on his return to the England Test team on Thursday.
  • England had been put into bat by New Zealand after losing the toss at Lord’s, and they were bowled out for just 140.
  • However, Robinson turned the game on its head in his very first over, taking the wickets of Devon Conway, Kane Williamson and Rachin Ravindra.
  • The three wickets left New Zealand in big trouble on 2-3 as they replied to England’s underwhelming total.
  • This is Robinson’s first England appearance in over two years after being overlooked by the Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum regime in recent times.
