Key points
England opener Emilio Gay marked his Test debut against New Zealand at Lord's with a composed 57 in the second innings.
His crucial half-century anchored the hosts against a disciplined pace attack.
With this knock, Gay became the first England men's opener to score a debut fifty on home soil since Andrew Strauss in 2004, stabilising the top order.
