New Zealand's Devon Conway joined a select group of cricketers on Wednesday by marking his Test debut with a hundred at Lord's. The South Africa-born opener found himself thrust into the action straight away after New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss and batted in the first of a two-match series against England. But while star batsman Williamson and the experienced Ross Taylor both fell cheaply, the 29-year-old Conway pressed on to a 163-ball century, reaching the landmark with a flamboyant whipped legside four, his 11th boundary, off England debutant fast bowler Ollie Robinson. At stumps, Conway had made an unbeaten 136 in a total of 246-3, having shared an unbroken partnership of 132 with fellow left-hander Henry Nicholls (46 not out). Only five other batsmen had previously scored a Test debut hundred at Lord's, with Conway the first New Zealand international to achieve the feat. Batsmen to have scored Test debut hundred at Lord's (player, total, team, opposition, year): Harry Graham 107 AUS v ENG 1893 John Hampshire 107 ENG v WIS 1969 Sourav Ganguly 131 IND v ENG 1996 Andrew Strauss 112 ENG v NZL 2004 Matt Prior 126 no ENG v WIS 2007 Devon Conway 136 no NZL v ENG 2021 Note: Conway's innings still in progress jdg/mw
