Tim Southee believes New Zealand can "push on" against England come the last day of the first Test at Lord's even though the match appears destined for a draw. Southee took a superb 6-43 on Saturday as England were dismissed for 275 in reply to New Zealand's first-innings 378 after the whole of Friday's third day was washed out. 

But England opener Rory Burns put a dent in New Zealand's bid to go 1-0 up in a two-match series with a painstaking hundred, with the World Test Championship finalists made to pay for reprieving him on 77 and 88. New Zealand were held to 62-2 in their second innings at stumps on the fourth day, an overall lead of 165 runs. The loss of an entire day's play reduced both teams' chances of victory, although Southee told reporters: "If we'd have turned up at the start of the day and told we were going to walk off with the position we're in now we'd have been pretty happy. "But the England side don't just roll over," he added.
