England and New Zealand players honor former cricketers at Lord's

Before the start of the first Test at Lord’s, England players wore black armbands and held a moment of silence to honor former cricketers who have passed away since the last home international. The tribute also marked the 10th anniversary of New Zealand’s Martin Crowe’s death, with a ceremony that included his daughter Emma ringing the traditional bell. New Zealand captain Tom Latham won the toss and elected to bowl. The match unfolds with a formidable New Zealand pace attack taking the field against England, who are making their return to red-ball cricket after a series defeat in Australia earlier in the year.
