The England and Wales Cricket Board on Thursday confirmed leg-spinner Matt Parkinson as the concussion replacement for injured left-arm spinner Jack Leach in the ongoing first Test against New Zealand at Lordโs Cricket Ground. Parkinson, who has picked 24 wickets in five matches of County Championship, made his debut in the series opener as a result.

Parkison has sent down 6 overs so far and conceded 21 runs at 3.50.
