ASK GEORGE: England's batting and the risks of boundary fielding

WATCH: Chief correspondent GEORGE DOBELL answers readers' questions after a wicket-laden first day of England's Test against New Zealand at Lord's

England were in pole position heading into the final session, with New Zealand skittled for 132. However, their batting woes soon came back to haunt them and Ben Stokes' side closed on 116 for 7.

The Cricketer's chief correspondent takes questions from readers about events at Lord's, from Ollie Pope's similarity to Graeme Hick to whether 76 overs is value for money for fans, and much more.
