LONDON: New Zealand’s Devon Conway joined a Selection of cricketers on Wednesday by Indicating his Test debut with a hundred at Lord’s.
Even the South Africa-born opener saw himself thrust into the action right out after New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss and batted at the first of a two-match run against England.
But while celebrity batsman Williamson along with the expert Ross Taylor both fell smoothly, the 29-year-old Conway pushed into some 163-ball century, hitting the landmark using a gaudy whipped legside four, then his 11th border off England debutant fast bowler Ollie Robinson.
Just five additional batsmen had scored a Test introduction hundred at Lord’s, using Conway the very first New Zealand global to accomplish the effort.
