England vs New Zealand 1st Test Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Betting Tips Joe Root hit two centuries in the Test series away in the Caribbean earlier in the year and without the captaincy will be able to focus purely on his batting. He is our pick for England’s highest run scorer in this Test. With the ball, experienced swing bowler James Anderson will return to the side and has an excellent record at Lord’s. He is our tip for England’s top wicket taker against New Zealand. Devon Conway averages 63.91 with the bat after seven Tests and the left-handed top order batter is well worth backing as New Zealand’s highest run scorer at Lord’s. Kyle Jamieson has all the attributes required by a pace bowler and has a fantastic record in Tests. We expect him to be New Zealand’s top wicket taker against England. New Zealand’s batters have a more consistent record over recent years and we are backing their openers to put on a higher first wicket partnership than England.
