Hussain impressed with Stokes' captaincy

The captaincy of Ben Stokes on day one of the first Test between England and New Zealand at Lord's impressed Nasser Hussain. But at the same time, the former England captain was left to rue the side's familiar batting fragility.

"Many of the things England have been doing wrong in the field over the last 17 Test matches they got right on Ben Stokes' first day as full-time captain. It was just a pity their old failings with the bat came back to haunt them."

"The seamers bowled a fuller length, the fielders caught everything, with Jonny Bairstow setting the tone at third slip to catch Will Young, and the bowlers didn't overstep once, where recently they've been taking wickets with no-balls," wrote Hussain in his column for Daily Mail. IANS
