Ollie Robinson hopes to become a worthy recipient of the baton when Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad finally call time on their careers after crediting the record-breaking pair for his rapid rise in international cricket.

Robinson once again showed his burgeoning skills away from home on the second day of the first Test against New Zealand at Bay Oval, figures of four for 54 from 19 overs representing the standout among England’s attack and seeing his Test bowling average drop back below 20.
