England fast bowler Stuart Broad has taken seven wickets in a dramatic finish to the first test match with New Zealand at Lord's. Chasing 239 to win the match, the tourists were all out for just 68, leaving England with a stunning 170 run win....

There was no sign of the carnage to come, when Tim Southee took three of the four final England wickets to fall in the mornings play, as England were bowled out an hour before lunch for 213, leaving New Zealand the task of making the highest score of the match to win the opening test.

Southee finished with ten wickets for the match, which was a superb effort in itself.

New Zealand then didn't count on Broad bowling a world class spell before lunch, as they limped to 29-6 when the players left for something to eat, the Notts man taking 5-22 in his opening spell.

After lunch, it was just a matter of time that NZ would then be bowled out, as Broad finished with 7-44 and James Anderson taking the other three wickets.

It was the first time since 1936, that just two bowlers were needed by England to bowl a side out.

England 232 & 213 beat New Zealand 207 & 68 by 170 runs

Match Scorecard to follow....
