PREVIEW – ENGLAND TEST MATCH LORD’S
England’s men welcome the world number five side New Zealand to the Home of Cricket on Thursday 4 June with the hosts looking to get their summer off to a winning start. The Black Caps join India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka as international opponents for England on home soil in 2026. The Test action will continue in north London against Pakistan from Thursday 27 August.
2024 and 2025 RECAP
England will aim to continue the scintillating home form at Lord’s they displayed against the West Indies in 2024 and India in 2025. The West Indies were no match for an England side in which James Anderson made his final appearance after a stellar career. Anderson bowed out with four wickets, to take his tally to an astonishing 704 wickets in a Test career spanning over two decades.
In 2025, Joe Root was England’s standout player scoring a century in the first innings. Root became the first cricketer to score 3,000 Test runs against India. Jasprit Bumrah took 5 wickets for India in the first innings but to no avail. England won a fiercely contested match by 22 runs to go 2-1 up in the series.
2026 matches incoming
In 2026, attention turns towards a rare double-header of Test action at Lord’s. The matches against New Zealand and Pakistan will top and tail the summer. If England go back-to-back with victories they’ll make it four Test wins on the spin at the Home of Cricket.
Who will come out in top in this latest edition of not one but a duo of historic cricketing rivalries? All will be revealed over two lots of five days on the hallowed Lord’s turf in St John’s Wood!
The MCC Museum is open to all ticket holders during the duration of the match. Located behind the Pavilion it’s a treasure trove of cricketing history housing an extraordinary collection of memorabilia.
