Twitter reacts to Dominic Sibley helping England put an end to New Zealand’s hope of a win
New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson dangled the carrot in front of England when he set the hosts a target of 273 on the final day in front of 7,000 fans. However, while the BlackCaps tried their level best to make something of the game, Dominic Sibley’s knock ensured England came home with a draw.
Really sad to watch this game at Lords!

Very bad!
Intent of not chasing 3+ RR score & play safe for the draws is so 1980s. this needs to change.

Pretty sure the match would have been way more interesting had Buttler, Stokes, Woakes been there at crease. #ENGvNZ
It was not all a match to see it as draw!
The first test match between England and NZ is draw

Eng didn't go for victory in the 4th innings is quite surprising, but very well played @DomSibley 👏
Good performance from both teams, Can't wait for second test match to started 😍 #ENGvsNZ pic.twitter.com/gqSWDzdeiy
Hmmm!
No sin to draw a test match be it in the era of modern day cricket.

Sibley and Root were special to save it for England and Burns in the 1st innings.
Ollie Robinson for England and Devon Conway for New Zealand precious !!!!! #ENGvNZ #ENGvNZL #ENGvsNZ
Hahahaha!
England should offer a refund for cutting that match short. Honestly, accepting a draw! Pathetic
