Rain prevented any play before lunch in the first Test at Lord's on Saturday as England looked to go 1-0 up in a three-match series against New Zealand.
The Black Caps were struggling at 36-3 in their second innings at Friday's close, needing a further 218 runs to reach a target of 254 after England paceman Gus Atkinson struck twice and Josh Tongue dismissed key batsman Kane Williamson.
