Five weeks to the day until they open the World Cup against Sri Lanka at Lord s, England suffered their eighth defeat in the past nine matches against a side whose captain and wicketkeeper were both injured and who could still afford to drop two catches.

London [UK], June 4 (ANI): England assistant coach Graham Thorpe said pacer Ollie Robinson showed great character on the second day of the opening Test against New Zealand, after apologising for the racist and sexist tweets he posted over eight years ago.
Robinson, who took two wickets on the opening day of the first Test, admitted that he was ashamed of making the racist remarks as his tweets from 2012-2013 resurfaced on social media. It was a tough day for him yesterday. He had to say sorry to the dressing room and he had to say sorry to the world about what he did. So, from that perspective, it is very hard for him. But he knows he made mistakes and that is why he had to make those apologies, ESPNcricinfo quoted Thorpe.
