Day 2 of the ENG vs NZ test series had begun well for the visitors. However, the extra bounce and the pace helped the England pacers as they rattled through the opponent batsmen easily. But, it was Daevon Conway, the debutant who stole the show at the Mecca of cricket, Lord's.

Conway started the second day with 136* and was looking confident after getting his name up there on the honour's board. The stylish left-hander had an emotional day out on the pitch as he had given everything just to make his dream ture.
