England's Ollie Robinson removes New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell during a rain hit afternoon session on day three at Lord's.

LONDON (AP) — Rain frustrated England's charge to victory against New Zealand in their test series opener at a damp Lord's on Saturday. Fast bowler Ollie Robinson took the only two wickets in the 9.4 overs of play allowed to tea and New Zealand was reduced to 55-5 in its second innings in an unlikely pursuit of a 254-run target on a stop-start day three.

Robinson, playing his first Test since February 2024, finished the day with figures of 4/10 from six overs as New Zealand ended the day still trailing England's first-innings total of 140.
