Concern. That is what England have left us with today. After giving us hope of a better future with yesterday's positive, aggressive counter-attacking display with the bat they have reiterated their brittle flaws today with the ball.
However, as with any rebuilding process, it is often a case of two steps forward and one step back. Today can be seen as a steep learning curve, against a side demonstrating many of the qualities to which England aspire: ruthlessness, discipline, calmness and composure.
Tomorrow is a chance to go again and emulate their opponents. Hope springs eternal.
We'll be back at 10:30 BST on Saturday.

Kiwi Bjorn: Wow loving the score in the cricket. Kiwis have really come a long way in the last few years. Sadly not on TV in Poland.
SW: I've never been so relieved to have missed out on getting hold of any Ashes tickets.
"England bowled with spirit and energy. Broad bowled with spirit and energy, Stokes was slippy as ever, but the pitch is good. The no-ball summed it up: nothing went the bowlers' way. When they tried to bounce them out, short balls were easy to pull on this pitch. I don't think the England seamers did anything wrong, they just couldn't make headway."
Gillespie meets with Strauss
As Jonathan Agnew has just reported on TMS, Jason Gillespie has confirmed that he has met with Andrew Strauss to discuss the vacant England head coach position. By the sounds of it, it was very much an exploratory meeting. Expect more news on that subject very soon.
"I thought Moeen bowled quite well. It took Alastair Cook half an hour too long to put him on. He bowled exceptionally well at Williamson. But England do need a high-quality spinner, and there's a difference between Moeen and a high-quality Swann- or Vettori-type bowler."
Player reaction
England's Moeen Ali, who took 1-52 with spin today, on Sky Sports: "We are not far from the new ball so hopefully we can bowl a bit better. I knew I would bowl later on. I was happy with the way I bowled today. I have been working on my action. I was forcing it in the West Indies.
"Every time I bowled wider there was more spin. Hopefully, I can bowl it a bit fuller tomorrow."
"The new ball didn't do anything for England. Latham and Guptill played exceptionally well. They lined it up well, Guptill's footwork was excellent, and they didn't look in any trouble until they made mistakes."
"Williamson has played well. This surface and outfield suits someone who caresses the ball around like he does. Taylor hasn't looked so fluent but he has hung in there well."
Close-of-play scorecard
New Zealand 303-2 (42 overs) - trail by 86
Batsmen: Williamson 92*, Taylor 47*
Fall of wickets: 148-1 (Latham 59), 148-2 (Guptill 70)
"The new ball is the element none of us quite know. Will Anderson come into the game a little more tomorrow morning? Batting has seemed to ease in these two days: this isn't a fast pitch, there's not enough bounce, there's not much turn for the spinners. That's why we're in the position."

Andrew Morris: All too easy for NZ. It's going to be a long long summer with the Aussies coming in as well. Can we forfeit already?
Sam Shephard: England aren't as good as they think they are. Sooner they realise that the better.
NZ 303-2 (Williamson 92, Taylor 47)
Taylor is seizing up. Looks like a bit of cramp. He grimaces as Broad forces him to weave out of the way of some more short stuff, one of which he fends off with his glove. Don't worry Ross, you can get yourself off now and into a well-deserved ice bath. That is the close, with England leading by 86 runs and New Zealand possession eight wickets in hand.
England now have a chance to regroup and come strong again tomorrow after what has been a punishing evening. That new ball could be key.
NZ 303-2
Can the spin of Moeen succeed where that of Root failed? Almost. He teases one up for Williamson outside off, which spins a mile out of one of a foot-hole and spins so much it misses leg before rolling down for four byes. It was a belter of a ball and England are really unlucky. Sensing a sudden threat, Williamson pull down the shutters and blocks out the rest.
"Of the two batsmen, Williamson's technique seems to be nearer the top of his game. Taylor still seems to be feeling his way."

NZ 299-2 (Taylor 47, Williamson 92)
Joe Root bowled the first over of this session and he is going to deliver one of the final three. It doesn't start particularly well as Williamson ricks back and punches a four through the off side. It brings up the 150 partnership and leaves New Zealand a run short of 300.
NZ 294-2
Broad is digging it in short, looking to beat Williamson for pace, but the ball is soft, the pitch slow and barring one that he has to duck under, the batsman copes with ease. Three overs left until the close. 18 balls for Engalnd to try and make something happen to alter the complexion of this match today.
"New Zealand's effort today puts the first innings by England into context. 389 sounds very good when you think of 4-30, but I don't think anybody thought the ball was not going to swing, and that has removed the threat of James Anderson. New Zealand have worked their way pretty comfortably to 300."
NZ 293-2 (Moeen 16-2-52-1)
We've been critical of England's bowling strategy but huge credit must also go to New Zealand's batsmen, chiefly these two: Williamson and Taylor. Aggers and Simon Hughes spoke at lunch about concentration in batting and, fittingly, these two have demonstrated this discipline superbly. They plunder Moeen for an easy five runs.

NZ 288-2 (Williamson 82, Taylor 46)
England's tired attack is posing absolutely no challenge to the New Zealand batsmen at the moment on this flat, slow track. It is like attacking a fortress in a gale armed only with a pea-shooter. Broad tries around and over and even digs deep to fire in a decent bouncer but Taylor is untroubled.
"If New Zealand achieve parity with say, three wickets down, the choices are theirs about how quickly they try to push on."
NZ 287-2
Williamson will be punishing counties later this season, courtesy of third spell with champions Yorkshire. Today, though, he is putting England to the sword as he pushes on towards a century. He and Taylor work Moeen around to take them to 46 and 81 not out respectively.

NZ 282-2 (Williamson 77, Taylor 45)
After a strange little delay for more drinks and a swap of sides by square-leg umpire the game continues with Stokes serving up a a couple of short gift-wrapped boundaries, with Williamson making no mistake with a pull and then a cut. It is as lively as the game has been in a while. Unfortunately for England, it is at their expense.
"It's a situation of huge strength for New Zealand, and one of real concern for England. The third innings is such a crucial phase of the game and it looks like England could be under real pressure."

Sam Long: I don't think we'll have any problem taking 20 wickets against Australia, it'll just be over the course of the entire series.
NZ 270-2
Jos Buttler, bless him, is still trying to get his side going as Moeen twirls away again. The spinner gets a nice bit of drift in the air to beat Williamson, who plays down the wrong line and then forces the batsman on to the front foot for the remainder. "Soporific" is how Henry Blofeld has just described this game. I wholeheartedly concur. Maybe we can all nod off and dream of lovely days out with former England players. Maybe a day out at the races with Jack Russell? Or a trip to Alton Towers and a slap up fish supper with Robin Smith?
NZ 270-2 (Stokes 12-2-51-0)
Stokes tries his luck around the wicket and, to be fair, it produces the closest we have come to a wicket in a while as Taylor punches a lofted drive to mid-on and Anderson dives in to try and run out Williamson at the non-striker's end. What an indictment that is of England in the last 10 overs.
"It's been too similar from England. You've got to have the ability to try something out of the box, that the batsmen don't expect."

NZ 267-2
Williamson has that superb knack of playing the ball and steering the ball beyond the grasp of fielders behind the wicket. Once again he steers a Stokes ball down to the boundary for four.
"The second new ball is going to be a key moment in the game. England will have to strike with it on a regular basis. New Zealand have played very nicely indeed today. Latham and Guptill created calmness and played some really good strokes, and these two have a lot of know-how and have made it look easy."

Is it just me or has the Lord's white noise taken on a very concerned slant? Probably just me. I wouldn't blame them. England are really up against it. Broad is dealt with by Williamson and Taylor. Just the one run but less drama than an episode of Hollyoaks.

NZ 256-2 (Broad 12-1-38-1)
Unfortunately Tim, Broady was very much playable in this first over on his return at the Pavilion End. The closest England's opener gets to a breakthrough is a nick off the inside edge of Williamson's bat that slams the ball into the worst spot a man can imagine. Williamson barely bats an eyelid, though, and responds by swatting the last ball for four past mid-off.

It is the perfect summer evening for cricket. The sun is shining, the beer is flowing. Unfortunately for England, New Zealand are firmly on top. It has been very much their day. But England still have a lead and with that comes hope. Anderson digs a few in short to try and bombard Taylor but the pitch lacks the pace for such deliveries to pose problems.

NZ 245-2 (Taylor 31, Williamson 54)
With his fifty up, Williamson gets creative with a lovely little steered chop to bring him a four off Stokes. Ian Bell and Alastair Cook stand in the slips, arms folded, faces glum. We have 17 overs left to play today. It is likely to be a long, old slog for the fielding side.
"In his last 15 Test matches, Williamson has 1,699 runs at an average of 77.2."
50 for Williamson (NZ 241-2)
Having scored 361 runs in his two Tests in 2015 so far and only being out once, Williamson averages 361 for the year. He reaches his half-century with a steer for the only run off Anderson's latest over.
"There's pressure on the New Zealand seam bowlers to deliver, because there are the likes of Bracewell, Wagner and Milne who can't get in the side, who most sides would be happy to have."

NZ 240-2 (Williamson 49, Taylor 31)
Cook twists by bringing Stokes back into the attack but his first ball is too short and sits up on this slow track for Williamson to clobber on the pull for four. It may as well have been topped with brown sauce (or red sauce if that's how you choose to live your life). Stokes jags one back in to Taylor's pads later in the over to prompt a stifled appeal but it was born more from hope than belief and is rightly turned down. The partnership is 91, the England lead is down to 149 and New Zealand are set with plenty of firepower to come.
NZ 231-2
Maybe it is not even a case of digging deep to make something happen. Maybe the wicket is too flat? Maybe the New Zealand players are playing too well? Maybe England simply lack the players to fashion something from unfavourable conditions? Maybe all of the above? Regardless, England are struggling and New Zealand are easing this game away from them. Anderson and the field erupt for another lbw call against Taylor but it is clear the ball is going down. Taylor's response? A four.

You can see the belief starting to seep out of England. Moeen drops one short and Taylor rocks back and punches a four through point, prompting some raised eyes and chin rubbing from the fielders.

"DRS gives a new reason for fans to get excited - some even celebrate when a review is called for. Few cheers as each phase of the decision moves us closer to an overturn in England's favour, followed by incredulity when the final call goes against the home side."
NZ 218-2
The rest of the over is far less eventful as Taylor adds a single to his tally.
"That looked out to me. I thought it was hitting more of leg stump than the ball-tracker showed. He's lucky - it's a dangerous way to play, moving sideways across your stumps."
NZ 215-2
Taylor survives. The ball, angling in, hit him on the knee roll as he aimed across the line. But the technology suggested it was not going to hit enough of the leg stump to overturn the decision. Umpire's call. Anderson frustrated. To make matters worse, New Zealand scampered a couple of leg byes then.

NZ 214-2 (Taylor 19, Williamson 40)
The New Zealand batsmen are settling into their task now. Wood is pounding in but the pitch is slow and Williamson has no problem in putting his first ball away with a flash through point. The runs keep coming with a drive between mid-on and mid-wicket and an uppish off-drive that gives a hint of a catch to Ballance in cover but evades the fielder. Williamson caps the over with a final boundary through mid-on. England on the back foot.
NZ 202-2
Half the Lord's crowd rise for what they think is a catch by Moeen off his own bowling but it is, in fact, hit into the ground first by Taylor. It is the biggest cheer we have had so far this session. Taylor ends the over with a crack straight down the ground for four to bring up the New Zealand 200.
"There's been quite a lot of spirited bowling by England, but the pitch is that good, it really is."

Batsmen: Williamson 11*, Taylor 7*
Fall of wickets: 148-1 (Latham 59), 148-2 (Guptill 70)
Like his predecessor in the side, Chris Jordan, Mark Wood has a rather curious run-up - drawing himself into a semi-hunched position before breaking into a sprint with the stealthy suddenness of a cheetah bursting from the undergrowth to hunt down a gazelle. Still the debutant waits for his maiden Test wicket, as Williamson off-drives him nicely for four. And that is tea.

"With 20 minutes to go until tea, New Zealand find themselves with a vital mini session to over come. Williamson is a vital component in this order but he does need to get into a rhythm, with time at the crease.

NZ 152-2 (Williamson 1, Taylor 0)
There's a massive roar from Stuart Broad - and the suddenly awoken Lord's crowd - as he hits Ross Taylor on the pad, but it's hit him outside the line. There's a proper scare next up though - Kane Williamson calls Ross Taylor through for a suicidal single and the non-striker is miles short of his ground when Broad's throw whistles past the timbers. What a chance for England.
"It was a loose stroke. It was wide and not quite to him yet he was prepared to go through with the strike and lost control of it. Ballance is diving to his left and took the catch safely with both hands. Guptill leaves with 70 but that is loose when you have just lost a wicket. They have to re-start now with two new men and with 20 minutes until a break."
WICKET
Guptill c Ballance b Broad 70 (Eng 148-2)
The pendulum is suddenly swinging back in England's direction. Martin Guptill will be furious, he was looking so good and he gives away his wicket with a slash at a wide delivery from Stuart Broad which is well pouched by Gary Ballance at cover. Suddenly New Zealand are under a bit of pressure.
"There you are. It is the change to spin, instead of seam, seam, seam. It is straight and the batsman missed it, making a mistake. Moeen is not a crackerjack spinner but he has to bowl."
WICKET
Latham lbw Moeen 59 (NZ 148-1)
Goodness me, England needed that. Moeen had just been deposited into the top tier by Guptill, but he recovers well, trapping Latham in front with a slightly quicker delivery. Breakthrough.
"I have been impressed by both of the New Zealand openers. Yes, it is a good pitch but they have batted well. Their footwork has been good and they have played it straight."

50 for Latham
NZ 135-0 (Guptill 60, Latham 56)
Tom Latham joins his partner in the halfway house, bringing up his fifty with a driven three through extra-cover. Nice little innings from the 23-year-old, who looks a really compact, well-organised player. He then spanks Broad through the same region for four. Lots to admire about this opening stand, which has mixed gritty defence with some expansive strokeplay.

John M Butt: This is the problem with England. Cannot get 20 wickets. Australia will slaughter Broad and Anderson.
NZ 127-0
Now, Alastair Cook finally rings the changes and introduces Moeen Ali for a bit of spin. Immediately he serves up a half-tracker, and poor old Gary Ballance, who wore a few at short leg in the West Indies, gets absolutely clobbered on the hip-bone by Guptill. A thankless task.
NZ 125-0 (Guptill 57, Latham 49)
What a contrast this is to the carefree, almost jubilant scenes of yesterday afternoon when England were tonking it around and the Lord's crowd was in full voice. Now the crowd is hushed, England are seemingly becalmed in the field and New Zealand are accumulating steadily in a deadened atmosphere. Latham produces another cracking shot, whipping one off his legs that races to the mid-on fence.
"Surely you would try the off-spin of Moeen Ali into the foot marks that are there, particularly for Latham? You have to change the pace somehow. Try something different."

NZ 116-0
Anderson switches to round the wicket and finally draws a false stroke, seaming one away and beating the bat of Latham. But in his fruitless search for swing, Anderson goes fuller and Latham just eases him back down the ground for four with a beautifully perpendicular blade. Peachy. Problems mounting for Alastair Cook.
"Back in March 2013 when England played New Zealand in Dunedin, both teams had 100-run opening partnerships. Since that time, England went 40 innings without another 100-run opening partnership, which was in Grenada last month, and this is New Zealand's first since then."
NZ 111-0 (Broad 7-0-18-0)
Terrific shot from Guptill, a well-balanced punch back down the ground off Stuart Broad that runs away for four. Broad takes his frustration out on an overzealous bouncer that comfortably clears Jos Buttler and scampers away to the fence.
Scorecard update
New Zealand 102-0 (29 overs) - trail by 287

Jack Byrne: Moeen is in the team as a front-line spinner, he should not be used as 'last-option' at 100-0. More poor captaincy from Cook.
Jonathan France: This partnership showing the lack of skill from our bowlers, in bowler friendly conditions. We were 4 down by now!
Drinks break
NZ 102-0 (Guptill 50, Latham 41)
Sirens wailing in the background in St John's Wood. Not quite an emergency yet for England but they could definitely do with dousing the flames of this nascent New Zealand fightback. Latham demonstrates New Zealand's swelling confidence with an authoritative pull to dispatch Anderson behind square and bring up the 100 partnership. And with that, we pause for drinks.
"Wood came on and gave England a bit of a lift, but New Zealand have weathered that storm. I just wonder if a bit of spin might make a difference."
50 for Guptill
NZ 97-0
Not for long though. Guptill goes to his fifty with a nudge off his legs off the returning Stuart Broad. That's a good knock from the right-hander, who got a reprieve off that Mark Wood no-ball earlier, and he'll be mighty relieved to have got some significant runs on the board on his return to the Test side. England's task is to make sure he doesn't hang around long enough to move into something approaching his top gear, which can be devastating.
"It may not seem like that much is happening at the moment but this is a crucial period in the game. New Zealand will not want to let anything slip and there has been just the sniff of a wicket in the air."
NZ 96-0 (Anderson 9-3-27-0)
A leg bye keeps Martin Guptill on 49, still waiting for his half-century.

I would really like my sons to hear it. Primarily for their cricket but also because my eldest son plays guitar and his guitar teacher is always on about relaxing between notes to reduce tension and fatigue when you play and he's very taken with the parallels between cricket and musicianship. I'd like to send him the clip if possible...
Ben Stokes looks like he's permanently teetering on the verge of apoplexy, a man never far from a smashed glass or a violently upturned Trivial Pursuit board. His mood isn't improved when Latham steers him behind square on the off side for another four. But his anger is fuelling him here, he's bending his back and getting more out of this unhelpful pitch than the other bowlers - a straightener nips back and zips just over the top of Latham's stumps. Close.

The camera pans to some feet perched nonchalantly on a balcony railing, clad in stripy socks and brown brogues. Ah, Lord's. Never change.
Guptill plays a rather curious shot, swinging Anderson miles into the air on the leg side, comfortably clearing the infield and beating the man to the rope. Not sure he meant that though - the replay reveals a leading edge.
"England will have been hoping to get a couple of breakthroughs into this very strong New Zealand batting line-up. The last thing they will have wanted is a strong opening partnership. New Zealand noses are definitely in front."
NZ 83-0 (Anderson 7-2-21-0)
Jimmy Anderson is recalled to the attack - can he provide the breakthrough that England are looking for? Stokes, a maelstrom of frustration swirling beneath his sunhat, keeps himself busy with a superb sprawling stop at backward point. Guptill steers two off the back foot.
"He was saying to Alastair Cook that he thinks it has pitched in line. I think it is outside leg stump. That is a good call from Cook to turn down a review."

Ben Stokes, a combustible character at the best of times, is approaching meltdown here. He raps Latham on the pad and screams a huge appeal. He implores Alastair Cook for a review, but Cook has to let him down gently.
"Latham looks a compact player. He's made a good start to his Test career - two hundreds and three fifties in nine matches, averaging 40 - and you can see why he's had success."

NZ 78-0
Things beginning to happen now. Latham is living a little dangerously and he only just clears the leaping Ben Stokes at point with an aerial cut shot that runs away for another four. Buttler then provokes groans from the crowd when he concedes two byes missing a Wood away-swinger, showing all the foot movement of a reluctant Strictly Come Dancing contestant.
"There's just something happening through the air - maybe a bit of cloud cover, the lacquer coming off the ball... The ball is swinging like this, you've got make sure the lengths err on the fuller side. It sits up if it's short."
NZ 70-0 (Guptill 40, Latham 24)
Stokes nearly spears one through Guptill's defences, an accurate yorker which the batsmen desperately jabs down on like a man trying to squash a scurrying rodent with a broom. He just about manages to get some wood on it and the ball flies directly behind and away to the boundary.
Guptill's next two shots are more convincing, stroking a glorious cover drive to the fence and then poking one to the third-man boundary. Stokes is coming to the boil here.

"It's stating the obvious but England have got to take their chances. They dropped a few in the Caribbean."

NZ 56-0 (Guptill 28, Latham 22)
Latham plays another lovely off-side shot, slashing Ben Stokes behind square for four, but he should be gone next ball! He chases one from Ben Stokes and fiddles it to third slip, but Ian Bell, plunging two-handed to his left, goalkeeper-style, shells it. Not a vintage Test match for Belly so far, and another big reprieve for New Zealand's openers.

Mark Wood opens up from the other end, and immediately serves up a freebie, a real loosener outside off, which is beautifully pummeled to the rope with immaculate timing by Latham. First runs of the afternoon. Guptill is wrestling with himself here: he's such a free scorer in one-day cricket but having to rein his instincts in in his hunger for a big score on his return to Test cricket.
"I like the way Alastair Cook has thrown the ball to Ben Stokes because it's important with all-rounders that captains use them like proper bowlers. Stokes is more of a batsman that bowls, but he needs to forget that when he bowls. All-rounders need to compartmentalise."
NZ 44-0 (Guptill 26, Latham 13)
Martin Guptill looked to play a few shots before lunch, as is his natural game, but he gets a bit too loose here, wafting extravagantly at a gentle lifter from Ben Stokes. There's a bit of wobble in the air, the ball just wavering on its way through to Jos Buttler. Good start for Stokes, a maiden.

"The process I used to go through at each ball was actually too long for some bowlers. It was a sort of watered-down version of what Jonathan Trott did. If you have quite an extended period of switching on and switching off, bowlers can rush you. A habit or a superstition helps you, it's something that can help you to get out of yourself."
"Concentration was something that Mark Ramprakash never got right in his England career. He was just too intense at the crease. He'd make an excellent 23 in two hours but then he had nothing left. In his late career with Surrey, he found that relaxed state."
"Alastair Cook is best concentrator I've ever seen for England. He's in that perfect state at the crease, not too aroused and not too sleepy. People tend to think of concentration as an active state - concentrating fiercely - but I found it more helpful to think of it an absence of irrelevant thoughts. Tuning out the noise rather than tuning in to the signal."

England batsman Joe Root, who scored 98 in England's first innings yesterday, spoke to TMS after being named England's Player of the Year on Monday. Here's what he had to say...
"I'm just trying to keep things simple. It's a tough enough game as it is. There's a lot of guys scoring a lot of runs in the side, the key for us now is to put a complete performance together and do it throughout the summer. We've got an exciting and tough summer, we're going to have to play some really good cricket. I think I'll really enjoy the role of vice-captain, and I'm looking forward to supporting Cooky. I'm definitely learning a lot."
"The ball hasn't really swung for James Anderson. It's quite odd, because we've got a lot of cloud cover over Lord's at the moment. Maybe it's the temperature. Whatever the reason, it's made it easier for the New Zealand batsmen."

With plenty of Kiwi power to come, England won't want that first breakthrough to be too far away."

NZ 43-0 (Guptill 25, Latham 13)
The replay system has added a vital component to cricket, by ensuring the correct decision for batsmen that would otherwise have gone uncorrected. It is a real kick in the gut for bowlers, though, especially for someone like Wood, who is looking for a first Test wicket. Still, the answer is simple: don't over-step. The penultimate over before lunch is an Anderson maiden.
"In a few years' time, Wood will be beginning his after-dinner speeches with that story, but for now, he must feel really sick, thinking 'What a fool I am!'"
"There are now two England players who have been denied their first Test wicket by a no-ball. Ben Stokes was denied the wicket of Brad Haddin in Adelaide."
NZ 43-0
Disaster for Wood! His explosive delivery, that caught the edge of Guptill and flew to the hands of Cook at slip, is chalked off as replays show his foot had just edged over the line. Wood is denied his first Test wicket and England a key breakthrough. Guptill returns and he and Latham see of the rest off the over.
"Having been a serene start, this is now becoming more aggressive. With 15 minutes to go before lunch, this could be a tremendous session for New Zealand."

NZ 40-0 (Guptill 24, Latham 12)
No Stokes but a return for Anderson at the opposite end. he makes a poor start, though, with a loose short ball that Guptill cracks aerially over cover for four. As anyone who watched the Kiwis in the World Cup will testify, Guppers is not a man to let such dross go by unpunished. Anderson has greater success in tying down left-hander Latham. Still no breakthrough for the home side, though. As it stands, lunch will taste a lot better for the tourists.

It is a cruel school, Test cricket. Wood veers slightly too straight and Guptill on-drives past mid-on for four. Quality shot. Wood tweaks the line slightly and fares better.

NZ 30-0
Broad is finding a nice line. Another one beats Latham, this time between bat and wicket. The batsman hits back, though, by flicking one off middle through mid-wicket for four. Some acrobatic work from Root at third slip prevents another boundary as Broad drops one short later in the over. I'm sure Alastair Cook will be pondering the introduction of Ben Stokes in the near future. The tourists look a bit too comfortable.
"That lbw appeal was a good indication that Wood is a bit skiddy, because Guptill was through the stroke. He plays with his shoulder round, very chest-on defending."
"For your first over in Test cricket, you'd be more than happy with that."
NZ 26-0 (Latham 8, Guptill 14)
In comes Mark Wood for his first over in Test cricket. He has an unusual approach to the crease. From a standing start he leaves the handbrake on and floors it before unleashing himself and bounding to the wicket to propel the ball onwards. He almost starts with a wicket with a skiddy one that beats Guptill's stroke and slams into the pad, provoking huge appeals. Replays show it was a touch high. Umpire's call, though, which is not out.

As we've had quite a bit of music chat this morning, Tom Latham fits very much into the boyband camp of modern cricketers. Him and Joe Root wouldn't look out of place in One Direction. Stuart Broad is probably edging more towards Backstreet Boys elder-statesman territory now. He still has plenty in the tank, though, as he shows with an outswinger that beats Latham's outside edge. Buttler slaps his gloves together like a couple of cymbals and spills it, but Broad's point is made.
NZ 24-0
Anderson errs with a ball on leg stump that Guptill gets across and flicks away to the fine leg boundary. Adam Lyth almost comes a cropper later in the over with a slip that sends him thumping to the turf while stopping a ball. He gets up quickly, though. Pride bruised, not body.
"If Broad's knees are up when he's running in, that's a good sign. They are at the moment, he looks like he means it. He's bowling with reasonable pace, but in these conditions, it's about getting the length right and getting the ball to swing."

Broad thinks he has England on the board with an lbw shout against Latham that has the opener on the back foot, but the umpire is firm in his rebuttal. Pitching outside leg? Going over? All of the above, probably.

The strategy is simple for Anderson to Latham. Send a few away to set him up and then dart one back in. Jimmy thinks he might have his man with an example of the latter delivery, but the batsman gets willow on it to steer to leg before his pad is struck. England's first wicket fell when they were on 17, sparking that initial collapse. England would dearly love a breakthrough now while this new ball still has some shine to it.

He is a shell of a man with the bat, but what can Stuart Broad offer when he has the ball in his hand? He finds a good line outside off stump that Guptill - all crouched and crab-like in his stance - has no option but to leave alone or pat back.
"Guptill is showing the signs of a man in good mind - latching on to anything short but not trying to hit it too hard."
NZ 4-0 (Latham 0, Guptill 4)
Jimmy Anderson hoops his first three balls away from Martin Guptill but, having had a look, the batsman launches into the fourth ball and pushes through cover for the first runs - a driven boundary. That is how this Kiwi side do things - front foot from the off.
"Martin Guptill is back in the New Zealand Test side and he'll be looking to try and cement his position at the top of the order."

"To be honest, the New Zealand bowling was indifferent. The New Zealand bowlers have come from Twenty20, where you have to bowl a mixture of deliveries, and it showed. In Test cricket, the normal Tim Southee bowls a lot of balls in good areas, but he hasn't bowled enough of them in this Test."
Post update
Considering the start England made yesterday, they will be delighted with that total. Considering the position they started from today, they will be disappointed. 400+ was a very realistic aim and they have fallen short. However, Anderson, Broad, Wood and Stokes will fancy tapping into the swing on offer with the ball. Interesting times ahead.
"It was just a normal pitched-up delivery, and Anderson half-drove it, so it spooned up to the bowler. It's a good total for England, but I think it is a 400 pitch - it's a very easy pace for batting."

This is now the highest score made by any side in Test cricket who have lost their first four wickets for 30 or less. Boult tries a new approach by coming round the wicket to try and end these tail-end shenanigans. Wood copes well, though.

Thomas Knights: Come on Jimmy, nice 20 odd here, reach 1000 test runs and 400 wickets in the same match?
Good spot Thomas. Prior to this match, Jimmy Anderson had 973 runs in Test cricket, so he needs 27 here to reach the milestone. He is currently on 397 wickets.
Eng 387-9 (Anderson 10, Wood 7)
England's tail is starting to wag. Anderson punches another boundary through point off Southee, who has now gone for a ton this innings from his 24 overs. Anderson rubs a huge chunk of salt in the bowler's wounds by heaving an edge over third slip for four. New Zealand's contentment is slowly turning to frustration.
"It's an art bowling out tail-enders. Some are great at it but others struggle. Malcolm Marshall is one of my all-time favourite bowlers but he couldn't bowl out tail-enders."

England will take all the runs they can get at this stage, especially if they don't have to play a shot. Boult obliges by chucking one way down leg that Latham gets a glove on but can't stop running away for four byes. It is always sweeter when you get them off the willow, though, which wood does with a drive off the base of the bat to send another loose delivery through cover for four.

Darren Gough is in the crowd and he'll no doubt approve of Jimmy Anderson's all-action cameo with the bat so far. He's swinging and swiping away, looking to add as many as he can before he has the ball in his hand. He ends the over with a drive to extra cover that allows him to nick the strike.

"Stuart Broad made the mistake of letting the world know he's not too keen on the short stuff, allowing himself to be hoodwinked by Brendon McCullum and Trent Boult. The positioning of a leg gully gave the batsman the impression a bumper was coming. Low of confidence, he hung on the crease, with no foot movement towards the full ball. Goodnight."
Eng 368-9 (Wood 2, Anderson 0)
If England just about edged yesterday's play, today has been entirely New Zealand's so far. They have picked up two very cheap wickets with a minimum of fuss. James Anderson is England's last man. He introduces himself to the game by twice charging down and trying to swipe Boult down the ground. Good aggression, dire execution.
The only positive so far for England is that they are likely to be bowling soon and there is swing in the air.
"That was an accident waiting to happen. It's extraordinary: Broad in 2010 scored 169 on this ground against Pakistan, but his batting is a thing of threads and snatches nowadays. Latham has done jolly well as reserve keeper. New Zealand are tidying this up quite well."

That might be my fault. I was just saying Broad will be happier after getting off the mark. Well, forget that because he's just nicked an out-swinger from Boult to Latham and is trudging off. It is another limp dismissal for a man once considered a bowler who bats.

It is a Yorkshire and England reunion in the stands at Lord's today. Darren Gough and Matthew Hoggard are in attendance. The former would have loved a little swing of the bat on a day like this. Stuart Broad is off the mark with a drive down the ground that a fielder just prevents from going for four. Broad will be feeling a lot happier now.

Moeen c Latham b Boult 58 (Eng 363-8)
This is a very strange dismissal. It was a low-key ball (shortish and outside off), a low-key shot (an attempt to flash into the off side), a low-key catch (by Latham) and a low-key celebration from the New Zealand side. What I'm basically saying is that it is low-key.

As Phil Tufnell has just said on TMS, Moeen Ali is a "silky" player. There is certainly something smooth and classy about his batting. Everything looks good. In contrast: Stuart Broad, who is awkwardly trying to bat himself into some form.

The Kiwis are continuing with Tom Latham behind the stumps, meaning BJ Watling's knee must still be giving him some stick from the injury he suffered on day one. To be fair, Latham did OK behind the sticks when he was called on yesterday. Unsurprisingly, Stuart Broad has to deal with some short-pitched stuff from Trent Boult. He does well, staying well clear of square-leg's lap.

50 for Moeen (Eng 361-7)
The murmur of people making their way into the ground and finding their seats rumbles round the ground as Tim Southee glides in from the Nursery End and finds a nice line outside off stump for the first four balls before he drops one short that Moeen latches on to in a flash and powers one through mid-on with Gower-like grace. he finishes the over with a punch through extra-cover that is dragged back just before the rope. Three more runs and a good start for England.
What about the weather?
Not quite sunbathing standards, but looks like we've got a pleasant day in store...

The players are on their way out. In a little break from protocol, the New Zealand players beat the umpires on to the pitch. They must be keen to get stuck into the England tail. And here comes Moeen and his new partner Stuart Broad. The latter certainly has something to prove with the willow. Now would be a great day to start.
"What England have got from five to eight is destruction, but it's natural destruction: the players don't have to do anything different from their natural game. Joe Root plays that energiser role: he comes to the crease and he's got that presence about him."
Moeen one short of 50
As you'll see from the scorecard, Moeen Ali was left on 49 not out at the end of yesterday's play. If he makes it to 50 today it will be the fourth time in Test history that a team's number five, six, seven and eight have all made half-centuries.

The big debate
But let's get to the real issue at the heart of day one, the one subject that has caused more controversy than any other and split opinion: England's new jumpers.
I'm going to be honest with you, I'm not a fan. Yes, it's better than the last effort but why make a welcome return to cable knit if you're going to abandon it 75% up the jumper. I'm a traditionalist, though, I think a sleeveless should be 100% wool and weigh half a tonne.
"I think it [England's positive style] was different. I don't know if it was a breakthrough, but time will tell. Having Stokes in that position is good because his natural inclination is to hit the ball. Because of the style New Zealand play, Stokes was able to take advantage of the offerings. It helps that Joe Root is in good form."
"I remember in 2003 Andy Flintoff had a game at The Oval against South Africa and he went out and played aggressively and it came off. It was that moment that from the next two years he dominated world cricket as an all-rounder. Moving Stokes to six was a master stroke. It gave him responsibility and he took it. Now you say to Stokes, 'you've done your batting, now it is time to do it with the ball.' They can get two extra gears out of Ben Stokes."
"What was really pleasing was how Ben Stokes went out and played his natural way. He said, 'listen, my strengths are putting teams on the back foot and striking the ball' and he went out and did that. He played like he was wearing a Durham shirt, not an England shirt."

As Geoffrey Boycott was keen to point out in his end-of-day review yesterday, Thursday offered a thoroughly entertaining day of cricket. There were some good performances: Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, Matt Henry.
But which was the most impressive and why? I'll leave that with you as a starter.
You can get in touch via Twitter using the hashtag #bbccricket or on text 81111 (UK only).
England's hardening core
It was a shame that day one ended on a sour note for England, with the loss of Jos Buttler, as what had gone before that was so encouraging. Yes, you can point to first session stumble to 30-4, but without that setback we would never have been able to see the counter-attacking middle-order resilience this team appear to be developing.
Yes, I'm making a positive out of 30-4. With such optimism, you'd think I'd been visited by three ghosts in the night.

England have work to do
Hope. That is what the England cricket team gave us yesterday. Hope that the last few years of mediocrity may be behind them, hope that the appointments and selections are finally the right ones, hope that the kind of brittle, sigh-inducing collapses showcased in the first 45 minutes of Thursday morning will soon become a thing of the past and, finally, hope that we have twigged how the rest of the world are positively, aggressively approaching this glorious game.
But one dot ball does not make a maiden. And one day of, ultimately, encouraging cricket does not make up for the recent past. England still have a lot of work to do.

Concern. That is what England have left us with today. After giving us hope of a better future with yesterday's positive, aggressive counter-attacking display with the bat they have reiterated their brittle flaws today with the ball.
However, as with any rebuilding process, it is often a case of two steps forward and one step back. Today can be seen as a steep learning curve, against a side demonstrating many of the qualities to which England aspire: ruthlessness, discipline, calmness and composure.
Tomorrow is a chance to go again and emulate their opponents. Hope springs eternal.
We'll be back at 10:30 BST on Saturday.

"England bowled with spirit and energy. Broad bowled with spirit and energy, Stokes was slippy as ever, but the pitch is good. The no-ball summed it up: nothing went the bowlers' way.

"I thought Moeen bowled quite well. It took Alastair Cook half an hour too long to put him on. He bowled exceptionally well at Williamson. But England do need a high-quality spinner, and there's a difference between Moeen and a high-quality Swann- or Vettori-type bowler."
Player reaction
England's Moeen Ali, who took 1-52 with spin today, on Sky Sports: "We are not far from the new ball so hopefully we can bowl a bit better. I knew I would bowl later on. I was happy with the way I bowled today. I have been working on my action. I was forcing it in the West Indies.
"Every time I bowled wider there was more spin. Hopefully, I can bowl it a bit fuller tomorrow."

NZ 303-2 (Williamson 92, Taylor 47)
Taylor is seizing up. Looks like a bit of cramp. He grimaces as Broad forces him to weave out of the way of some more short stuff, one of which he fends off with his glove. Don't worry Ross, you can get yourself off now and into a well-deserved ice bath. That is the close, with England leading by 86 runs and New Zealand possession eight wickets in hand.
England now have a chance to regroup and come strong again tomorrow after what has been a punishing evening. That new ball could be key.
NZ 303-2
Can the spin of Moeen succeed where that of Root failed? Almost. He teases one up for Williamson outside off, which spins a mile out of one of a foot-hole and spins so much it misses leg before rolling down for four byes. It was a belter of a ball and England are really unlucky. Sensing a sudden threat, Williamson pull down the shutters and blocks out the rest.

NZ 294-2
Broad is digging it in short, looking to beat Williamson for pace, but the ball is soft, the pitch slow and barring one that he has to duck under, the batsman copes with ease.

"New Zealand's effort today puts the first innings by England into context. 389 sounds very good when you think of 4-30, but I don't think anybody thought the ball was not going to swing, and that has removed the threat of James Anderson. New Zealand have worked their way pretty comfortably to 300."
NZ 293-2 (Moeen 16-2-52-1)
We've been critical of England's bowling strategy but huge credit must also go to New Zealand's batsmen, chiefly these two: Williamson and Taylor. Aggers and Simon Hughes spoke at lunch about concentration in batting and, fittingly, these two have demonstrated this discipline superbly. They plunder Moeen for an easy five runs.
NZ 288-2 (Williamson 82, Taylor 46)
England's tired attack is posing absolutely no challenge to the New Zealand batsmen at the moment on this flat, slow track. It is like attacking a fortress in a gale armed only with a pea-shooter. Broad tries around and over and even digs deep to fire in a decent bouncer but Taylor is untroubled.

Jos Buttler, bless him, is still trying to get his side going as Moeen twirls away again. The spinner gets a nice bit of drift in the air to beat Williamson, who plays down the wrong line and then forces the batsman on to the front foot for the remainder. "Soporific" is how Henry Blofeld has just described this game. I wholeheartedly concur. Maybe we can all nod off and dream of lovely days out with former England players. Maybe a day out at the races with Jack Russell? Or a trip to Alton Towers and a slap up fish supper with Robin Smith?
NZ 270-2 (Stokes 12-2-51-0)
Stokes tries his luck around the wicket and, to be fair, it produces the closest we have come to a wicket in a while as Taylor punches a lofted drive to mid-on and Anderson dives in to try and run out Williamson at the non-striker's end. What an indictment that is of England in the last 10 overs.

Unfortunately Tim, Broady was very much playable in this first over on his return at the Pavilion End.

It is the perfect summer evening for cricket. The sun is shining, the beer is flowing. Unfortunately for England, New Zealand are firmly on top. It has been very much their day. But England still have a lead and with that comes hope. Anderson digs a few in short to try and bombard Taylor but the pitch lacks the pace for such deliveries to pose problems.

NZ 245-2 (Taylor 31, Williamson 54)
With his fifty up, Williamson gets creative with a lovely little steered chop to bring him a four off Stokes. Ian Bell and Alastair Cook stand in the slips, arms folded, faces glum. We have 17 overs left to play today. It is likely to be a long, old slog for the fielding side.

NZ 240-2 (Williamson 49, Taylor 31)
Cook twists by bringing Stokes back into the attack but his first ball is too short and sits up on this slow track for Williamson to clobber on the pull for four. It may as well have been topped with brown sauce (or red sauce if that's how you choose to live your life). Stokes jags one back in to Taylor's pads later in the over to prompt a stifled appeal but it was born more from hope than belief and is rightly turned down. The partnership is 91, the England lead is down to 149 and New Zealand are set with plenty of firepower to come.
NZ 231-2
Maybe it is not even a case of digging deep to make something happen. Maybe the wicket is too flat? Maybe the New Zealand players are playing too well? Maybe England simply lack the players to fashion something from unfavourable conditions? Maybe all of the above? Regardless, England are struggling and New Zealand are easing this game away from them. Anderson and the field erupt for another lbw call against Taylor but it is clear the ball is going down. Taylor's response? A four.

You can see the belief starting to seep out of England. Moeen drops one short and Taylor rocks back and punches a four through point, prompting some raised eyes and chin rubbing from the fielders. These are the times when other sides dig deep to make something happen - a facet that has been sorely lacking in English international cricket for a while.

The shadows are starting to lengthen across Lord's and England continue to toil. Anderson's best efforts are dealt with well by Taylor and Williamson, who have dropped anchor at the crease.

Taylor survives. The ball, angling in, hit him on the knee roll as he aimed across the line. But the technology suggested it was not going to hit enough of the leg stump to overturn the decision. Umpire's call. Anderson frustrated. To make matters worse, New Zealand scampered a couple of leg byes then.

NZ 214-2 (Taylor 19, Williamson 40)
The New Zealand batsmen are settling into their task now. Wood is pounding in but the pitch is slow and Williamson has no problem in putting his first ball away with a flash through point. The runs keep coming with a drive between mid-on and mid-wicket and an uppish off-drive that gives a hint of a catch to Ballance in cover but evades the fielder. Williamson caps the over with a final boundary through mid-on. England on the back foot.
NZ 202-2
Half the Lord's crowd rise for what they think is a catch by Moeen off his own bowling but it is, in fact, hit into the ground first by Taylor. It is the biggest cheer we have had so far this session. Taylor ends the over with a crack straight down the ground for four to bring up the New Zealand 200.

This is the bonus you get from Mark Wood, when he digs one in short it rises from nowhere. He nearly puts Williamson on his backside with a short ball that rises and follows the batsmen as he swerves his head away. Nasty. It is the peak of a decent over. But another that goes by without a wicket.

The Root experiment lasts one over as Wood comes on. He immediately catches the edge of Williamson's bat with the ball bouncing once before hitting the hands of slip.

Tea
NZ 173-2 (Williamson, Taylor)
Like his predecessor in the side, Chris Jordan, Mark Wood has a rather curious run-up - drawing himself into a semi-hunched position before breaking into a sprint with the stealthy suddenness of a cheetah bursting from the undergrowth to hunt down a gazelle. Still the debutant waits for his maiden Test wicket, as Williamson off-drives him nicely for four. And that is tea.

Seven empty champagne bottles lined up in front of one well-refreshed couple in the stands. As my colleague Phil Dawkes observes, at Headingley that would be a tower of Kestrel Super Strength.

What a chance for England.

"It was a loose stroke. It was wide and not quite to him yet he was prepared to go through with the strike and lost control of it.

Now, Alastair Cook finally rings the changes and introduces Moeen Ali for a bit of spin. Immediately he serves up a half-tracker, and poor old Gary Ballance, who wore a few at short leg in the West Indies, gets absolutely clobbered on the hip-bone by Guptill. A thankless task.
NZ 125-0 (Guptill 57, Latham 49)
What a contrast this is to the carefree, almost jubilant scenes of yesterday afternoon when England were tonking it around and the Lord's crowd was in full voice. Now the crowd is hushed, England are seemingly becalmed in the field and New Zealand are accumulating steadily in a deadened atmosphere. Latham produces another cracking shot, whipping one off his legs that races to the mid-on fence.

Anderson switches to round the wicket and finally draws a false stroke, seaming one away and beating the bat of Latham.

Problems mounting for Alastair Cook.

NZ 111-0 (Broad 7-0-18-0)
Terrific shot from Guptill, a well-balanced punch back down the ground off Stuart Broad that runs away for four. Broad takes his frustration out on an overzealous bouncer that comfortably clears Jos Buttler and scampers away to the fence.

Not for long though. Guptill goes to his fifty with a nudge off his legs off the returning Stuart Broad. That's a good knock from the right-hander, who got a reprieve off that Mark Wood no-ball earlier, and he'll be mighty relieved to have got some significant runs on the board on his return to the Test side.

His mood isn't improved when Latham steers him behind square on the off side for another four.

Wood is getting it through nicely, cresting 90 clicks - there's certainly a bit more pace in this England attack with him in the side and Stokes bowling at full tilt. Latham clips two through backward square.

Latham dropped on 21
NZ 56-0 (Guptill 28, Latham 22)
Latham plays another lovely off-side shot, slashing Ben Stokes behind square for four, but he should be gone next ball! He chases one from Ben Stokes and fiddles it to third slip, but Ian Bell, plunging two-handed to his left, goalkeeper-style, shells it. Not a vintage Test match for Belly so far, and another big reprieve for New Zealand's openers.

Mark Wood opens up from the other end, and immediately serves up a freebie, a real loosener outside off, which is beautifully pummeled to the rope with immaculate timing by Latham. First runs of the afternoon. Guptill is wrestling with himself here: he's such a free scorer in one-day cricket but having to rein his instincts in in his hunger for a big score on his return to Test cricket.

"I like the way Alastair Cook has thrown the ball to Ben Stokes because it's important with all-rounders that captains use them like proper bowlers. Stokes is more of a batsman that bowls, but he needs to forget that when he bowls. All-rounders need to compartmentalise."
NZ 44-0 (Guptill 26, Latham 13)
Martin Guptill looked to play a few shots before lunch, as is his natural game, but he gets a bit too loose here, wafting extravagantly at a gentle lifter from Ben Stokes. There's a bit of wobble in the air, the ball just wavering on its way through to Jos Buttler. Good start for Stokes, a maiden.

"The process I used to go through at each ball was actually too long for some bowlers. It was a sort of watered-down version of what Jonathan Trott did. If you have quite an extended period of switching on and switching off, bowlers can rush you. A habit or a superstition helps you, it's something that can help you to get out of yourself."

Simon Hughes

"Concentration was something that Mark Ramprakash never got right in his England career. He was just too intense at the crease. He'd make an excellent 23 in two hours but then he had nothing left. In his late career with Surrey, he found that relaxed state."

Ed Smith

"Alastair Cook is best concentrator I've ever seen for England. He's in that perfect state at the crease, not too aroused and not too sleepy.

Tuning out the noise rather than tuning in to the signal."

Wood's face bears the tight grimace of a frustrated man looking to make amends.

The replay system has added a vital component to cricket, by ensuring the correct decision for batsmen that would otherwise have gone uncorrected.

No Stokes but a return for Anderson at the opposite end. he makes a poor start, though, with a loose short ball that Guptill cracks aerially over cover for four. As anyone who watched the Kiwis in the World Cup will testify, Guppers is not a man to let such dross go by unpunished. Anderson has greater success in tying down left-hander Latham. Still no breakthrough for the home side, though. As it stands, lunch will taste a lot better for the tourists.

It is a cruel school, Test cricket. Wood veers slightly too straight and Guptill on-drives past mid-on for four. Quality shot. Wood tweaks the line slightly and fares better.

Broad is finding a nice line. Another one beats Latham, this time between bat and wicket. The batsman hits back, though, by flicking one off middle through mid-wicket for four.

I'm sure Alastair Cook will be pondering the introduction of Ben Stokes in the near future. The tourists look a bit too comfortable.

In comes Mark Wood for his first over in Test cricket. He has an unusual approach to the crease. From a standing start he leaves the handbrake on and floors it before unleashing himself and bounding to the wicket to propel the ball onwards. He almost starts with a wicket with a skiddy one that beats Guptill's stroke and slams into the pad, provoking huge appeals. Replays show it was a touch high. Umpire's call, though, which is not out.

As we've had quite a bit of music chat this morning, Tom Latham fits very much into the boyband camp of modern cricketers. Him and Joe Root wouldn't look out of place in One Direction. Stuart Broad is probably edging more towards Backstreet Boys elder-statesman territory now. He still has plenty in the tank, though, as he shows with an outswinger that beats Latham's outside edge. Buttler slaps his gloves together like a couple of cymbals and spills it, but Broad's point is made.
NZ 24-0
Anderson errs with a ball on leg stump that Guptill gets across and flicks away to the fine leg boundary. Adam Lyth almost comes a cropper later in the over with a slip that sends him thumping to the turf while stopping a ball. He gets up quickly, though. Pride bruised, not body.

The white noise at Lord's is unlike any other ground. There is a civility to it that is rarely found at the likes of Headingley. And not a beer snake in sight. Saying that, it is only about 25 past 12. There is time yet. There is also plenty of time yet for this game to swing in any direction. Broad thinks he has England on the board with an lbw shout against Latham that has the opener on the back foot, but the umpire is firm in his rebuttal. Pitching outside leg? Going over? All of the above, probably.

The strategy is simple for Anderson to Latham. Send a few away to set him up and then dart one back in.

Considering the start England made yesterday, they will be delighted with that total.

"Stuart Broad made the mistake of letting the world know he's not too keen on the short stuff, allowing himself to be hoodwinked by Brendon McCullum and Trent Boult.

If England just about edged yesterday's play, today has been entirely New Zealand's so far. They have picked up two very cheap wickets with a minimum of fuss. James Anderson is England's last man. He introduces himself to the game by twice charging down and trying to swipe Boult down the ground. Good aggression, dire execution.

The murmur of people making their way into the ground and finding their seats rumbles round the ground as Tim Southee glides in from the Nursery End and finds a nice line outside off stump for the first four balls before he drops one short that Moeen latches on to in a flash and powers one through mid-on with Gower-like grace. he finishes the over with a punch through extra-cover that is dragged back just before the rope. Three more runs and a good start for England.
What about the weather?
Not quite sunbathing standards, but looks like we've got a pleasant day in store...

The players are on their way out. In a little break from protocol, the New Zealand players beat the umpires on to the pitch. They must be keen to get stuck into the England tail. And here comes Moeen and his new partner Stuart Broad. The latter certainly has something to prove with the willow. Now would be a great day to start.

"What England have got from five to eight is destruction, but it's natural destruction: the players don't have to do anything different from their natural game. Joe Root plays that energiser role: he comes to the crease and he's got that presence about him."
Moeen one short of 50
As you'll see from the scorecard, Moeen Ali was left on 49 not out at the end of yesterday's play. If he makes it to 50 today it will be the fourth time in Test history that a team's number five, six, seven and eight have all made half-centuries.

"There's almost a checklist of sights when you're walking to the ground on a morning of a Test match. Man in ill-advised brightly coloured trousers, elderly member clutching a cushion to sit on. Young lad in floppy sunhat, ticket tout (face value, I'm told). But the most common sight is enough food to feed everyone in Greater London. One man has a cool box so big it has to be wheeled along. I'm going to the Test; I must have enough food to last me for a week. Three months later, you find a mouldy sandwich at the bottom of your bag. We've all done it."

Yesterday was all about the England jumpers, but before the MCC members criticise the fashion...
The big debate
But let's get to the real issue at the heart of day one, the one subject that has caused more controversy than any other and split opinion: England's new jumpers.
I'm going to be honest with you, I'm not a fan. Yes, it's better than the last effort but why make a welcome return to cable knit if you're going to abandon it 75% up the jumper. I'm a traditionalist, though, I think a sleeveless should be 100% wool and weigh half a tonne.

"I think it [England's positive style] was different. I don't know if it was a breakthrough, but time will tell. Having Stokes in that position is good because his natural inclination is to hit the ball. Because of the style New Zealand play, Stokes was able to take advantage of the offerings. It helps that Joe Root is in good form."

"I remember in 2003 Andy Flintoff had a game at The Oval against South Africa and he went out and played aggressively and it came off. It was that moment that from the next two years he dominated world cricket as an all-rounder. Moving Stokes to six was a master stroke. It gave him responsibility and he took it. Now you say to Stokes, 'you've done your batting, now it is time to do it with the ball.' They can get two extra gears out of Ben Stokes."

"What was really pleasing was how Ben Stokes went out and played his natural way. He said, 'listen, my strengths are putting teams on the back foot and striking the ball' and he went out and did that. He played like he was wearing a Durham shirt, not an England shirt."

As Geoffrey Boycott was keen to point out in his end-of-day review yesterday, Thursday offered a thoroughly entertaining day of cricket. There were some good performances: Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, Matt Henry.
But which was the most impressive and why? I'll leave that with you as a starter.

England's hardening core
It was a shame that day one ended on a sour note for England, with the loss of Jos Buttler, as what had gone before that was so encouraging. Yes, you can point to first session stumble to 30-4, but without that setback we would never have been able to see the counter-attacking middle-order resilience this team appear to be developing.
Yes, I'm making a positive out of 30-4. With such optimism, you'd think I'd been visited by three ghosts in the night.
England have work to do
Hope. That is what the England cricket team gave us yesterday. Hope that the last few years of mediocrity may be behind them, hope that the appointments and selections are finally the right ones, hope that the kind of brittle, sigh-inducing collapses showcased in the first 45 minutes of Thursday morning will soon become a thing of the past and, finally, hope that we have twigged how the rest of the world are positively, aggressively approaching this glorious game.
But one dot ball does not make a maiden. And one day of, ultimately, encouraging cricket does not make up for the recent past. England still have a lot of work to do.
