New Zealand have lost the first test at Lords against England by 115 runs on the fourth day after being dismissed for 138 runs.
The loss came after Devon Conway and Glenn Phillips tried to starve off the England attack but eventually fell short through the lack of batting support across the Black Caps lineup.
