England offered stiff resistance in the final session to secure a tedious draw against New Zealand on day five of the first test at Lord's on Sunday.

Having lost day three's play due to rain, New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson made a bold declaration at 169-6 at lunch to set England a target of 273.But England openers Rory Burns and Dom Sibley arrived at the crease focused only on blunting the new-ball bowling attack in a bid to save the test match.

England captain Joe Root, who showed incredible patience for his 40 in the final session, said they adopted a cautious approach given the quality of the visiting bowling attack on a deteriorating surface."It was slow and hard to time the ball and get any sort of rhythm," Root told the BBC."You look at the target and amount of overs you have, it wasn't quite as straightforward as that.

"Special performance from Conway, a special player," Williamson said."He showed his class on his debut test at the home of cricket.
