Daily Mail cricket correspondent Paul Newman: "One of the things about Gillespie is that he is a big family man. In talks he made it clear he didn't want to be on the treadmill 12 months of the year, and that is where Bayliss has come through. I'm sure Paul Farbrace will stay as his assistant - there is a good bond between them."

Daily Telegraph deputy cricket correspondent Nick Hoult: "I wonder if Strauss has looked at this guy and seen Duncan Fletcher. He's a similar age; he likes to sit in the background and let the captain run the team. That little bit more experience has perhaps won him the job over Gillespie."

Australian journalist Melinda Farrell from Cricinfo: "I don't know Trevor Bayliss personally but I have actually spoken to a lot of people around the Sixes and New South Wales and what I hear is that he creates an environment where players are very comfortable.

"He creates an environment where the players are responsible for their own discipline. He is not one for yelling and putting pressure on players and making them feel they can be dropped at any moment. He wants them to feel comfortable. I have heard stories about players fining each other to take on the responsibility."

"This is a man who comes pretty well-equipped for one-day cricket."

Daily Telegraph deputy cricket correspondent Nick Hoult: "Andrew Strauss has always said he is talking to other candidates."

Daily Mail cricket correspondent Paul Newman: "It has taken most people by surprise, most thought it was going to be Gillespie. Bayliss didn't appear to be in the running this time but he sounds like a good candidate. It's a bold choice by Strauss, he clearly doesn't want to take the popular choice, but Bayliss is talked of incredibly highly by people, I've heard Paul Farbrace in particular speak well of him."

Daily Telegraph deputy cricket correspondent Nick Hoult: "When you start talking to people in Australia, you realise this is pretty far advanced.

"I understand that he was initially lukewarm to the offer but he was contacted again over the week and offered an contract he couldn't refuse."

Australian journalist Melinda Farrell from Cricinfo: "Bayliss has been approached and is seriously considering it is what I have heard from people in Australia."

"The line from the ECB is that they are in exclusive negotiations with their preferred candidate."

"It now seems Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie will be talking to us at around 1.40-1:45. I feel a bit sorry for him in that he was never offered the job and now he will talk about not getting it."

Ed Smith, who was at Kent when Trevor Bayliss coached there briefly in 2003: "Steve Waugh played for Kent in 2002 and I think in the off-season there was a dialogue with New South Wales about Bayliss coming to Kent for spell to develop his coaching.

"He came over at the beginning of pre-season in 2003 and he was excellent - understated, nuts and bolts, got stuck in to work with players. His playing career may have influenced his coaching style as he was in a very strong NSW side, and he could slip in under the radar and be unsung. In coaching, he is happy to do the same. And he is a nice guy."

TMS are discussing Trevor Bayliss live on air now and will be joined a panel of journalists: Nick Hoult from the Daily Telegraph, Australian Melinda Farrell from Cricinfo and Paul Newman from the Daily Mail.

Trevor Bayliss is a 52-year-old Australian who is currently coach of New South Wales in Australia and Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League.

He was reported to be among the candidates to take charge of England when Peter Moores was appointed in 2014, although he is probably best known for leading Sri Lanka to the World Cup final in 2011. He was on the Sri Lanka team bus when it was attacked by gunmen in Pakistan in 2009.

Bayliss has won several domestic trophies: he coached NSW to the Sheffield Shield title in 2004-05 and the ING Trophy the following season.

After a four-year spell in charge of Sri Lanka - during which time he worked alongside England's current stand-in coach Paul Farbrace - he won the inaugural Big Bash and the Champions League T20 with Sydney Sixers in 2012, and the IPL with the Knight Riders the same year.

A former Australian off-spinning all-rounder, Bayliss played 58 first-class matches but never represented Australia. He filled in as coach for Darren Lehmann, external during Australia's T20 series against South Africa in 2014.

A reminder of the big 'news' to reach us this morning: Australian Trevor Bayliss is set to be appointed England coach,, external and not Jason Gillespie as was previously reported.

Which begs the question...

"The last 40 minutes of cricket, New Zealand have capitulated and England are in the ascendancy. It is amazing the ways the fortunes have swung for each side in this match."

Wood is moving the ball both ways off the seam at good pace, Watling with only a single from his first 25 balls, flashes at a short one but it evades the packed slip cordon and away for four. That's lunch and what a session the large Lord's crowd have enjoyed.

"Kane Williamson is pivotal for the rest of the day's play."

England's new hero Ben Stokes is also introduced in a double change. He's got four slips and a gully waiting expectantly for a catch. There is some inswing to the right-handers in the early 80's mph but no chance, one bye resulting as Buttler cannot stop one that scuttles along the ground. Time for one more over before lunch.

Stacey Clivesdale: Yesterday I called for Stokes to open the bowling instead of Broad - never been more happy to be wrong.
