England fast bowler Ollie Robinson has apologised after racist and sexist tweets that he posted as an 18-year-old were resurfaced as he made his test debut against the Black Caps at Lord's today.
Robinson finished the day with 2-50, taking the wickets of Tom Latham and Ross Taylor as New Zealand went to stumps at 246 for three.
For the 27-year-old Robinson is should have been a special occasion but instead it was tarnished.

"On the biggest day of my career so far I'm embarrassed by the racist and sexist tweets that I posted over eight years ago which today have become public. I want to make it clear that I'm not racist and I'm not sexist," Robinson said after day one.
