New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has sustained an injury to his left elbow during the first Test against England at Lord’s. And will be monitored by the medical team before taking a call on the eve of the second Test starting on Wednesday.

New Zealand coach Gary Stead also informed that left-arm seamer Trent Boult is available for the second Test, while one of the fast bowlers will be rested for the Birmingham game.

‘BlackCaps’, the official Twitter handle of New Zealand Cricket, headlined a Gary Stead update from Birmingham.
