England v New Zealand 1st Test
Lords, London | 4th - 8th June 2026

England will kick off their summer Rothesay Test series against New Zealand at Lord’s, with the first Test running from Thursday 4 June to Monday 8 June at the Home of Cricket. This series marks the inaugural contest for the newly introduced Crowe–Thorpe Trophy, named in honour of English great Graham Thorpe and New Zealand legend Martin Crowe.
England and New Zealand first met at Lord’s in 1931, and the ground has since hosted many memorable battles between the two sides. Notable moments include New Zealand’s historic win in 1999 and England’s bold chase in 2022 under Stokes and McCullum, marking a new era in their rivalry.
