GUS ATKINSON continued his love affair with Lord’s, wrapping up England’s 115-run victory over New Zealand in the first Rothesay Test today with yet another appearance on the famous honours board.

Atkinson took the last three wickets on day four to seal figures of five for 30, his fourth five-for in just three appearances to go alongside an unexpected century in 2024.

The Surrey seamer hurried the hosts over the line by sweeping aside tailenders Nathan Smith, Kyle Jamieson and Matt Henry, taking his Test record at the home of cricket to 26 wickets at just 9.5 apiece.
