    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.

    "It is difficult for a tall tail-ender. You don't know whether to duck or sway, and you've got a long way to go."

    Out comes Mark Wood for a debut innings in Test cricket. He is off the mark quickly with a worked shot to deep square. Big day for the Durham man. And a time for Stuart Broad to take some responsibility.

    "Moeen was trying to play an expansive front-foot cut-push, the ball just got big on him, and the edge flew through to the wicket-keeper."

    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.

    "Moeen played really well yesterday in the company of Jos Buttler. His driving is beautiful - the lovely, free flow of the bat is almost Gower-like."

    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.

    "I think for Stuart Broad at the moment, the best thing is just to have a little peep, get your eye in, and then look to play in the same manner as the rest of the lower middle order."

    Callum Johnstone: Time to watch the ceremonial lamb to slaughter in Stuart Broad facing short balls.

    James Hornby: It is hilarious that they're continuing with Broad at 9. Are his feelings that precious?

    "Lots and lots of empty seats inside Lord's this morning, the ground much emptier than this time yesterday. I'm always interested to know how many ticket-holders come in later in the day, maybe even after work. When I was sitting in the stands yesterday, one chap came in at tea. It's not cheap for a ticket to Lord's, so I'd want to be getting every delivery out of my cash. He must have money to burn."

  16. 50 for Moeen (Eng 361-7)published at 11:03 British Summer Time 22 May 2015

    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.

    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."

  20. Moeen one short of 50published at 10:56 British Summer Time 22 May 2015

    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.
