BJ Watling is the new man. We'll see now how much he has recovered from the knee injury that caused him to sit out keeping duties for much of the England innings. Wood - buoyed by his wicket - puts a bit more on a shortish one that flies past the outside edge of the new man's bat. Wood receives a deservedly warm applause from the crowd as he takes his jumper.

"That's a brilliant catch, the second of the day from Buttler. It's another strangle down the leg side, but England have bowled well enough to take some orthodox wickets, it's just the way they've come."

England are up and running in the session. Buttler has had a torrid day with some of the England bowling but he has coped admirably with some acrobatics. He shows his athleticism again here by diving to his right to claim a catch down the leg side that Anderson fends at and flicks.

"BJ Watling isn't a strokemaker, he's a negotiator. He started his career at the top of the order. Mark Craig is a very useful batsman, and I think you'll be surprised by Matt Henry. Tim Southee is a good cow-corner man."

Anderson is chancing his arm a bit here. He leans into a well-pitched ball from Broad and wafts into empty space as the ball whips past and into Buttler's gloves. He makes amends the next ball, though, with a drive down the ground for four. A small adjustment for maximum effect.

"Whatever the situation of the game, Kane Williamson doesn't change. He is unflappable."

The beer continues to flow at Lord's. One cravat-wearing gent makes his way to his seat carrying four pints in one of those paper holder things. It is par for the course at HQ on a Saturday, especially after a rain-break. St John's Wood tube station will be an experience this evening.

Wood hurtles towards the crease for another over. Anderson gets lucky by initially offering a shot to one, then changing his mind and drawing his bat away but isn't quick enough and hits it. He's fortunate he did as the stumps were waiting to be clattered.

Andrew Samson
BBC Test Match Special statistician

"There have now been 62 extras, the most New Zealand have ever scored in a Test innings. The most England have ever conceded is 74."

The most extras conceded in a Test innings is 76, by India against Pakistan at Bangalore in 2007.

Unsurprisingly, Broad continues. The seamer was the pick of England's bowlers this morning. He doesn't cover himself in glory here, though, with a loose ball down leg that beats Buttler, goes for four byes and gives the ball a good coating of swing-negating moisture. 62 extras now this innings. 62!

Williamson starts with a flashing drive to a wide one, every inch the loose kind of shot of a man who has been sat waiting to bat for 90 minutes. His second is better, steering a straight delivery to leg to add another run to his and New Zealand's total. Anderson leaves the last to complete the over that was left hanging by the rain.

Williamson to face the first ball, Wood to bowl it.

Here come the players. We'll have a game of cricket back up and running very shortly.

"It's been very interesting to witness how this New Zealand team has developed its own identity of cricket. For years we looked to England for our idea of style. But now, because of the personnel involved, we're developing our own New Zealand style. They attack and attack and attack. McCullum has been the key figure in that development."

Before we get cracking again at Lord's, here is a recap of what happened during the first session.

In short, New Zealand passed England's total to take an 18-run lead for the loss of two wickets. Kane Williamson completed his century but lost overnight partner Ross Taylor (for 62) and skipper Brendon McCullum (for a typically quick-fire 42).

From an England perspective, there was more to cling on to than yesterday, largely courtesy of a new ball, which gave their bowling attack a renewed bite. This second session will be crucial to the direction of this match.

"Only the hovercover remains and that is just about to be hauled off the square. We've lost two overs in the day, but I believe play can continue as late as 19:30 tonight. We might miss the start of Eurovision."

During this break, Alec Stewart, Michael Vaughan and Ed Smith have been discussing the possible (probable?) appointment of Jason Gillespie as England's new coach. This comes after we broke the news that the Australian would accept the role should he be offered it. You can read all about that here.

"I've really enjoyed looking at Mark Wood. I like looking at his different variations. I think there should be times that Wood takes the new ball. You don't want to write it in stone that Anderson and Broad should always open."

Gordon Thursfield: Does "success in county cricket" mean Test success? Didn't with Peter Moores. Must be English Test players who fancy job?

Stewart Hadfield: Gillespie would make a very good choice. He knows how to be part of a losing Ashes side. #aussiefan

From England's point of view, they will be hoping that this weather has not taken away some of the edge the new ball had given them this morning. The bowlers weren't perfect but they looked more of a threat.

That new ball will still have some shine on it as well. There will be healthy amount of towels out there amongst the fielders, that is for sure. As a young lad back in Yorkshire I had a trusty Tetley's bitter bar towel* to tuck into the flannels on damp days. It's been in my bag untouched for the last 15 years. I bet you can't bend it now.

*Other "flavour" of bar towels are available.
