Root shines before NZ fight back

The first Test between England and New Zealand hangs in the balance after a riveting third day at Lord's. England looked to be batting New Zealand out of the game as the in-form Joe Root (71) and Jonathan Trott (56) put on 123 for the third wicket. But a late collapse which saw them lose four wickets for 12 runs left a low-scoring match delicately poised with the hosts on 180-6, 205 ahead. New Zealand lost their last seven wickets for 60 runs as they crumbled to 207 all out, a first-inningdeficit of 25.
