The Cricketer rates the individual performances of every player during the first Test between England and New Zealand at Lord's
Alex Lees (25 & 20): Six double-figure scores in a row now for Lees. Second innings had some impetus but he's failed to go on. Looks vulnerable against Jamieson. 5
Zak Crawley (43 & 9): With not a lot of form to call on, the first innings was a welcome return. Needs to strike the balance between attack and defence better, but we know that. 6
Ollie Pope (7 & 10): Got possibly the best ball of the Test in the second innings. Good when the ball is there to attack but his defensive game leaves a lot to be desired. That said, run out of De Grandhomme went a long way to winning the game. 5
Joe Root (11 & 115*; DNB & 0-2): We could feasibly be heading for the most fruitful period of Root's batting career. This was as important as they come, his first fourth-innings hundred to win the game. 9
Jonny Bairstow (1 & 16): Justified his selection alone with some superb slip catching on the first morning, particularly when he leapt to dismiss Young. But his batting was at the other end of the scale, with a wretched second-innings dismissal. 5
Ben Stokes (1 & 54; 1-5 & 0-43): Can probably be afforded a bit of rough form as he beds into the captaincy. That said, his second-innings fifty and 90-run stand with Root was a vital contribution. 6

Ben Foakes (7 & 32*): "World-class" behind the stumps, according to his captain, and a key component of the chase. Batting returns need to improve if he's ultimately going to keep his place, but this was a good return to form. 6.5
Matthew Potts (0 & DNB; 4-13 & 3-55): The Durham quick couldn't have asked for a better start to his England career. Picked up Kane Williamson in both innings on a pitch that assisted his new ball bursts. Conditions will get tougher, but the way he took his county form into the international game was encouraging. 8
Stuart Broad (9 & DNB; 1-45 & 3-76): Produced a virtuoso spell on the third morning to turn the game on its head, with two wickets on either side of the run-out. Galloping in, revving up the crowd, it was a special moment. 7.5
James Anderson (7* & DNB; 4-66 & 2-57): A first-innings of two halves, picking up Latham and Young via classic nicks, and two of the tail while hooking. Bowled 37 overs across the match and got days four and five off ahead of Trent Bridge. 7
Matt Parkinson (8 & DNB; DNB & 1-47): Parachuted in for his Test debut after play had begun, becoming England's first concussion substitute. Made Tim Southee his maiden victim. 6
Jack Leach (DNB & N/A; N/A & N/A): Went over on his head trying to prevent a boundary in the sixth over of the Test, the latest moment of misfortune in an England career beset by problems mostly out of his control. A doubt for the second Test. N/A
Tom Latham (1 & 14): One of Test cricket's best openers was all at sea against the moving ball. Very little he could do to prevent either dismissal. 2
Will Young (1 & 1): Despite enjoying a decent spell with Northants this was a woeful outing for Young, whose innings lasted eight balls in total before he succumbed to Anderson on both occasions. 1
Kane Williamson (2 & 15): Came through unscathed after an elbow problem but his run of poor form continued as debutant Potts picked him up. Led as well as he could but a soft ball and depleted attack came back to haunt him. 2
Devon Conway (3 & 13): A far cry from his double century on this ground on his Test debut 12 months ago. What odds on him returning to that position at Trent Bridge? 2
Daryl Mitchell (13 & 108; DNB & 0-0): Played with real poise to go to a second Test ton in just his 10th Test. Blunted the new ball and took advantage when the England attack tired. Put his side in a winning position but they let him down. 8.5
Tom Blundell (14 & 96): Put on the largest partnership of the Test worth 195 with Mitchell that, for a long period, looked like being the most significant. Didn't know it at the time, but his failure to reach three figures opened the floodgates. 7.5
Kyle Jamieson(Stu Forster/Getty Images)
Colin de Grandhomme (42* & 0; 1-24 & 0-3): Should be noted that without his first-innings score New Zealand's deficit would have been larger. Endured a nightmare day three including a first-ball run-out, a wicket off a no-ball and a potentially series-ending heel injury. 3
Kyle Jamieson (6 & 0; 2-20 & 4-79): Picked up from where he left off last summer. Probably the pick of the Kiwi quicks with his height making him a menace to the England top-order. Twenty-five overs in the second innings was a fine effort. 7
Tim Southee (26 & 21; 4-55 & 0-87): Among the IPL contingent to hit the ground running with an excellent first-inning display. Fair to say he didn't excel second time around once the ball softened. 6.5
Ajaz Patel (7 & 4; DNB & 0-22): Williamson and Gary Stead might quietly be wondering whether they got this particular selection wrong. Stokes dismissed him for three sixes in the second innings and that was about that. Might miss out in Nottingham. 3
Trent Boult (14 & 4; 3-21 & 1-73): Produced a cracker to get rid of Pope in the chase as the Black Caps sensed victory. Another to become increasingly unthreatening when the ball stopped moving. 6.5
