ENG v NZ, 1st Test, Lords: New Zealand draws first test with England

New Zealand all-rounder Jacob Oram scored his first Test century against England today with a match-saving innings in the first Test at Lord's.
New Zealand held an overall lead of only 78 with four wickets down when wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum retired hurt and was taken to hospital after a blow to his left forearm. Oram found a doughty partner in Daniel Flynn, who had struggled in his first innings debut, but who now batted with grit and intelligence to score 22 in a partnership of 132.
Oram reached his fifth Test century from 120 balls, accelerating in the second half, when he was bowled for 101 by Ryan Sidebottom.
By then he had taken New Zealand to the safety of a draw after 153.2 overs had been lost to rain and bad light on the first three days.
At the close the Kiwis were for 6-269 with Flynn on 29 and in good heart for the second Test starting at Old Trafford in Manchester on Friday. New Zealand, who resumed at 0-40, an overall deficit of two, lost Aaron Redmond for 17 caught at first slip by Andrew Strauss off James Anderson.
James Marshall fell lbw for a duck 17 balls later to Sidebottom and Jamie How was lucky to escape when he was dropped by Strauss off Broad on 46.
