Two days ahead of the first Test match against hosts England, New Zealand sweat it out in an intense practice session at Lords. 

The Blackcaps have a busy three weeks of Test cricket ahead including two Test matches against England besides the ICC World Test Championship final against India in Southampton mid-June.

It's the same ground where the 3 Lions defeated the Blackcaps for their maiden World Cup triumph in 2019. But New Zealand coach Gary Stead has rejected the idea that 'revenge' for the loss will play any part in Wednesday's Test match against England.
