    Paul D: I'd be annoyed with missing both wickets owing to an afternoon nap, however during said nap I dreamt I was having dinner with Phil DeFreitas. He was a lovely chap.

    Have you had any imaginary social occasions with a former England international? How were they? Why not let us know on Twitter (#bbccricket) or text (81111 UK only).

    More keeping woe for Jos Buttler as Moeen turns one sharply out of the footholes and it clanks off the keeper's forearms and runs away for four. Definite turn for the spinner, who has bowled much better so far than he did in the West Indies.

  3. NZ 160-2 (Wood 8-0-28-0)published at 15:36 British Summer Time 22 May 2015

    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. Mark Wood is back into the attack as England hunt for a third wicket that would turn this session in their favour. Williamson gets New Zealand moving again with three clipped off his legs through mid-on.

    Andrew in York: Re.Tony R (15:25) I don't think in the main England fans as a whole are negative its just sad that people imagine social media is representative.

    Daniel Gibson: Thinking pretty much same as Tony R has said. Very fickle test match fans! Pretty sure it goes on for 5 days not 1 hour!

  5. NZ 155-2 (Williamson 2, Taylor 2)published at 15:31 British Summer Time 22 May 2015

    Taylor is in watchful mood against Moeen - a second successive maiden.

    BBC Sport at Lord's

    "Lord's has been jolted from its afternoon malaise by England's double success. The chatter that provides the soundtrack to Test match has increased in volume, the whiff of something alcoholic fills the nostrils. More importantly, I've just seen Boycie from Only Fools & Horses. Genuinely starstruck."

  7. NZ 155-2published at 15:30 British Summer Time 22 May 2015

    There will be plenty of players thinking they should have got their names on the hallowed honours board at Lord's in this match. Joe Root and Ben Stokes were dismissed in the 90s, Jos Buttler also looked well on his his way, and now Martin Guptill has thrown away a golden opportunity of a third Test hundred. And of course, Matt Henry, who finished one wicket short of a debut five-for.

    Willimson plays out a maiden to Broad.

    "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. Because he has been at the IPL and not playing much - he hasn't had a Test innings in five months - you do question how he will play in this innings."

    Tony R: The one thing more consistent than England's poor play, is the negativity of England fans. Until we get a couple of wickets, of course, then we're world beaters with the best fans in the world.

    Taylor gets off the mark with a paddle to deep square. This is a vital period for New Zealand - the success of this partnership will determine the situation at which the dangerous Brendon McCullum gets to the crease.

  11. International cricket returns to Pakistanpublished at 15:24 British Summer Time 22 May 2015

    International cricket returns to Pakistan today, with Zimbabwe becoming the first Test-playing side to tour the country since gunmen attacked the Sri Lanka team bus in Lahore in 2009.

    Lahore is the venue for the first of two Twenty20s between Pakistan and Zimbabwe, who have gone against security advice by embarking on a tour which also features three one-day internationals.

    Click here for the latest score from the first T20, which has just got under way, with Zimbabwe batting after winning the toss.

    Richie Macca: As the old saying goes: One brings two! Good lad, Broady!

    J: Quick 'sit down' toilet break after listening all day and a two wicket return. Skills!

    Peter Collins: Please New Zealand, you've batted better than us, please show us you can collapse better than us as well!

  13. NZ 152-2 (Williamson 1, Taylor 0)published at 15:21 British Summer Time 22 May 2015

    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."

    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."

    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.

  19. 50 for Lathampublished at 15:07 British Summer Time 22 May 2015

    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.

    Matt: Cook is a poor captain which will be plainly obvious at the end of the summer & I don't know why Broad keeps getting picked.

    JamesD: Now you can see how rubbish our top 4 were. We could be a mile behind by the end of their knock.

    John M Butt: This is the problem with England. Cannot get 20 wickets. Australia will slaughter Broad and Anderson.
