England posted the third-highest fourth-innings total to win a Test at Lord's after launching Ben Stokes's reign as captain with a five-wicket victory over New Zealand on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Only three teams have made more than 200 in the fourth innings to win a Test at Lord's, with England's previous best their 282 for three against New Zealand in 2004.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
And former England skipper Joe Root joined an even more exclusive club on Sunday by becoming just the third batsman to make a match-winning hundred in the fourth innings of a Test at the 'Home of Cricket', thanks to a composed 115 not out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The most any side have made batting last to triumph in a Lord's Test was West Indies' extraordinary 344 for one, requiring 342, in 1984.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England captain David Gower didn't call a halt to the hosts' second innings until the morning of the fifth and final day, when he declared on 300 for nine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But outstanding opener Gordon Greenidge's superb 214 not out, allied to Larry Gomes's unbeaten 92, meant the West Indies completed a crushing nine-wicket victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
