New Zealand opener Hamish Rutherford hit an unbeaten 116 on day one of the four-day tour match against England Lions at Leicestershire’s Grace Road.

Rutherford, who made a century in his first Test innings against England two months ago, steered his side to 184-3 at the close of a rain-hit day.

Toby Roland-Jones took two wickets and Graham Onions one but Joe Root’s side were unable to dismiss Rutherford.

New Zealand face England in two Tests, with the first at Lord’s from 16 May.
