Re: 1st Investec Test: England v New Zealand at Lord's, May 21-25, 2015

Moeen after completing his fifty gone
Eng 363/8

90.5
Southee to Ali, FOUR, short now and Moeen pulls from outside off through midwicket, it skips down the hill to the Mound Stand and Moeen fifty comes up in 97 balls

93.2
Boult to Ali, OUT, touch wider, Moeen flicks at it and nicks behind! It might have bounced a little but it was a slightly lazy waft from Moeen and he got a thick edge for an easy catch behind. Just what New Zealand were after, no real damage from Moeen this morning and a bit of bounce has done for him

Proof that you can still lose a test match despite batting well in the first innings. NZ made 523 but still lost the game!
