  1. NZ 6-2 (target 345)published at 12:21 British Summer Time 25 May 2015

    Confident pull shot from Williamson rockets to the boundary as Anderson drops short. Particularly confident given the loss of his two openers for ducks. So let's recap, England added 49 and set the Kiwis 345. The tourists then lost two wickets for no run in seven balls.

    "Unbelievable stuff at Lord's, where the roof is rocking from the cheers of the crowd. Is this the most entertaining Test match in England since the Trent Bridge Ashes match of 2013?"

    Toby Bird: Please just stop the excitement just for a little bit just so I can run downstairs and make beans on toast or something!

  4. NZ 1-2 (Anderson 1-0, Broad 1-1)published at 12:16 British Summer Time 25 May 2015

    With Broad dismissing Boult in the first innings he is technically on a hat-trick but Taylor blocks the attempted yorker. Taylor gets New Zealand off the mark with a single but that target of 345 looks rather distant. Who could have predicted this scenario before lunch? And what will we have in store for the afternoon?

    "The chase has just stopped. I cant imagine New Zealand thinking anything other than 'how do we get to Leeds at 0-0?'. It is a great delivery to a left-hander first up. He got done in the air. His head got wrong side of the ball."

    Latham pinned on the crease and there is not even a review. What a start this is, Broad strikes with his first ball and New Zealand have lost two for none in the opening seven deliveries.

  8. NZ 0-1 (Anderson 1-0)published at 12:08 British Summer Time 25 May 2015

    Three slips a gully, a short cover for Anderson, who is finding plenty of bounce at 85mph. A hint of more away swing but the composed Kane Williamson keeps out the rest of the over. Anderson remains on 399 Test wickets.

    "This is a terrific chance. It's a good ball - he just pushes at it. Brilliant catch - it went sharp to this left. What a start! Perfect start!"

    Second ball of the innings and Anderson strikes. Just enough movement around off stump, Guptill pushes forward, a thick edge and smartly snaffled at third slip by Gary Ballance.

    "It's good that the England team got bowled out in the end. Will New Zealand go for it? I'm not so sure. If you're going to get anywhere near that target, a Brendon McCullum-type player needs to come off.

    "I'll be interested to see how they go about their batting, and the fields England will set. What they need is for New Zealand to go for them."

    Tom in London: Great for the game but I think being bowled out makes a lot of difference psychologically. That's a carrot earned by NZ, not dangled.

    Richard Anthony: Odds on Stokes's fastest century record not lasting the day?

    If that record does go today, we are in for one hell of a finish!

    There is a fair bit of cloud around but still some sunshine and blue sky as Jimmy Anderson warms up on the outfield by hurling a huge weighted medicine ball into the turf to warm up his abs.

    "It would need to be a record fourth-innings chase in a Test at Lord's and it would need to be a record fourth-innings chase for New Zealand."

    "Everybody has been scoring around four-an-over. New Zealand need that extra half-a-run an over and that is perfect. It is a little tempter for New Zealand. They have to play out of their skin. The favourites are England."

    Well that solves that problem. Jimmy is bowled through the gate, the off pole uprooted as Boult captures his fifth wicket, figures of 5-85 from 34 overs, raising the ball to the crowd as he leaves in the sunshine.

    Ian Bradley: Not declaring 9 down with no recognised batsmen left sends totally the wrong message, disappointing.

    Steve Eglese: Sending out Jimmy to bat?! WHY?

    "It might be the best thing that can happen for England. Not offence to Moeen Ali, but if Jimmy Anderson gets knocked over quickly it might tempt New Zealand. If they do fancy it, they might lose a few and England can push for a win later in the day."
