That's it from Headingley for the day - BBC Radio 5 live sports extra will now switch to commentary from Chelmsford where Essex face Somerset (now with added go-faster Chris Gayle) in the T20 Blast. You can follow live text commentary, and listen to the game of your choice, via the BBC Sport website.
As for England and New Zealand, they'll be back tomorrow for day two - fingers crossed, the BBC weather forecast is predicting "a fine and dry day with plenty of sunny spells. Good batting weather, you'd think.
Until then, thanks for your company though the rain - and your tales of being mistaken for certain cricketers - we'll be back from about 10:30 BST tomorrow. Bye for now.
"England are going to have a very good day to bat. It will be light sunshine throughout the day. I think England are in a good position. The problem for New Zealand is their spinner can't bowl for toffee, and Southee has to improve too. If England don't make more runs than New Zealand, they haven't batted very well."

peter: A bit sloppy from England, but nothing an Aussie can't sort.
"McCullum was exciting but you live and die by the way you play. It looked silly, he looked angry but it's the way he plays. I think you have to have a few balls before you attack. Attacking from the first ball is reckless."

Review of the day
The day began with rain - there was no play before lunch, and even after Alastair Cook had won the toss and elected to field, there were still occasions when the players were running on and off because of the weather.
New Zealand were reeling at 2-2 at one stage but Tom Latham (84) and especially debutant Luke Ronchi (88 from 70 balls) made England work for their wickets as the tourists rattled along at four-and-a-half or nearly five runs an over.
While Cook's men will hope to knock the last two wickets over cheaply tomorrow morning, he might also reflect on dropped catches which might have had England batting already.
"I thought we should have bowled New Zealand out today. They shouldn't have made much more than 200. We don't have the discipline to bowl six balls in an area. I wonder if we have the mentality to tie an end up."

Ollie Davies: This is how Test cricket should be played. Another exciting, eventful day!
"I think the quality of the cricket is similar to Lord's. A lot of credit is due to the groundsman. Once there's a bit there for the bowler, the captain has slips, there are gaps there for the batsmen to score runs. We need a pitch which encourages all types of cricketers and we've had that here today."
Post update
Stand by on TMS for Geoffrey and Aggers' review of the day...
"New Zealand have reaped what they've sowed, so there have been wickets as well. But the game is very well advanced, so England will be batting quite early tomorrow. New Zealand will be batting third, which means the decision will be theirs, if they're good enough to bowl England out."
"That's the end of a really quite remarkable day in which we lost 25 overs, and yet 300 runs were scored."

Close of play
NZ 297-8
Mark Wood to bowl the last over of the day, once again Craig is having to defend a short ball which nearly pops to short leg. He evades a couple which are taken down the leg side by keeper Jos Buttler - there's even a strangle down the leg side off the last ball of the day as England appeal for a catch, but Craig stands firm and walks off. And so ends a curious rain-truncated day of only 65 overs - but nearly 300 runs.

Edward: seems to me that England have periods when they just switch off. Dire bowling spinner doing nothing, three drops in eight balls. #wakeup
David townend: Ali's poor bowling has allowed NZ to come back into this & has lost the early pressure from Jimmy etc. Ali is not a Test spinner.
NZ 297-8
Henry unleashes a village-style tail-ender's cross-batted mow at Stokes - and fortune favours him as it sails over the slips for four. A swipe through mid-wicket, from a ball pitching outside off stump, brings him four more, while a sliced two past gully takes him to 14 from eight balls. Stokes (13-4-43-1) is done for the day. Last over coming up.
"New Zealand's tail is quite a long one at the moment. I think nine is too high for someone like Southee. Even though Henry looks a bit uncomfortable, I think he's got a better chance of scoring runs than Southee at the moment."
NZ 287-8 (Craig 16*, Henry 4*)
Craig has to fend off a fierce delivery from the pacy Wood which rears up at his gloves, but he steers it out of the reach of the lurking short leg fielder. A maiden over - two left.
NZ 287-8
Having put New Zealand in to bat at the start of this truncated day's play, I wonder how Alastair Cook feels with the overs running out. His side are close to bowling the Kiwis out, but they've rattled along at five an over for most of the day - while all those dropped catches won't have helped. Craig defends resolutely, just a leg bye from the over. Three to go.
NZ 286-8 (61 overs)
Matt Henry is the new batsman, he was able to hang around usefully in the first Test, the batsmen crossed on Southee's catch but Craig immediately takes a single to bring the number 10 on strike. Three slips, a gully and a short leg are posted. But a free swing brings Henry four through the covers.
"It was well judged from Adam Lyth. Tim Southee is a compulsive hooker. It's shaping up to be a real good finish for England, but I still think New Zealand have had a good day."
WICKET
Southee c Lyth b Wood 1 (NZ 281-8)
Saddle up - it's Mark Wood (and his imaginary horse) back into the attack - and he rides to England's rescue as a short ball does for Southee, who can't resist a hook shot and holes out to Adam Lyth at deep mid-wicket... A cheer goes up for the Yorkshire opener, taking a catch in front of the Western Terrace.
"From 2-2, if England had bowled better, it could quite easily have been a day where New Zealand were bowled out for 180. But with the way they've played, aggressively, hitting the bowlers off their lengths, they've given themselves a decent first-innings total."

NZ 281-7
Spinner Moeen Ali (11-3-48-0) takes a rest as England turn back to the right-arm seam of Ben Stokes, but Craig is showing some decent technique for a man entrusted with the number eight position, driving fluently and seeing off a maiden over. Five overs left tonight.

NZ 281-7 (Craig 15*, Southee 1*)
Broad, having taken three of the seven wickets to fall today, goes round the wicket to the left-handed Craig who unleashes a firm straight drive back past the bowler - Michael Vaughan on TMS thinks that shot reminded him of Broad's father Chris. A more open-faced drive guides the ball down to third man for a well-run three which also ensures he keeps the strike.
"Broad's been the enforcer today. He's been the bowler to turn to when you're down to Plans E, F and G, when the day hasn't quite gone England's way."
PACopyright: PA
NZ 274-7
Craig is firm in defence, before flicking Moeen through mid-wicket for four - like Lord's last week, the outfield seems pretty quick. A hesitant single sees Craig take on the arm of James Anderson at backward point - but the throw is wide when a direct hit would have left the lumbering left-hander a yard or two short.
"There's going to be more rain in this game, so I think New Zealand realise that they've just got to get this game moving."
NZ 269-7 (Broad 13-0-76-3)
Ronchi is replaced by another tailender who's happy to slog - Tim Southee, the only batsman quicker to 50 on Test debut (that innings in Napier in 2008) than Ronchi was today. With eight overs left after this one, might England be thinking of having a bat tonight? Southee edges his first ball for a single, while Craig is off the mark as he pushes a well-run three through extra cover.
And if you've tuned in to BBC Radio 5 live sports extra hoping for Chris Gayle, the Essex-Somerset commentary is available now online - and will come onto 5 live sports extra after today's play in the Test.
"That discipline you need under that sort of approach just wasn't within Ronchi's game today. That's just turned the day England's way."

Ronchi c Anderson b Broad 88 (NZ 265-7)
Stuart Broad's short-pitched attack finally pays dividends as Luke Ronchi pulls to long leg and it's straight down James Anderson's throat at fine leg. An entertaining debut knock of 88 from 70 balls, including 13 fours and three sixes, is ended.

We still have a left-hand/right-hand combo in as Mark Craig joins Ronchi at the crease. Ronchi moves to 88 with a single, Craig carefully plays ouit the rest of Moeen's over.
"Good catch. Full of length, on and around off stump, and that's all you have to do at Headingley. Full credit to Tom Latham, he's been that foundation for New Zealand."
WICKET
Latham c Root b Broad 84 (NZ 264-6)
Finally England have a breakthrough - and hold a catch - as Latham drives at Broad and nicks one to Joe Root at first slip. He had imperceptibly replaced Captain Cook who usually operates in that position. The stand of 120, from 24.1 overs, is broken.
"New Zealand are having a tremendous day. Some of these shots by Luke Ronchi should be illegal. England have had a very off day with the ball. They've bowled too short and too wide. England haven't been at their best, but it's because the New Zealanders have knocked them off their lines and their lengths. This is something very special by Ronchi on debut. He looks like he's got control over those aggressive strokes."
NZ 263-5 (Latham 84*, Ronchi 86*)
Moeen, with 0-29 from eight overs, resumes proceedings after the drinks break as Latham, who looks a shade younger than his 23 years, is happy to proceed in singles while Ronchi thrashes the off-spinner for a six over mid-wicket and a four through point!
Never mind Bashley, Ronchi might be earning himself a lucrative T20 gig somewhere on this form. And don't forget, you can follow live text and radio commentary on all tonight's T20 Blast games via the BBC Sport website.
"England are in real danger of letting this innings slip away. The captain needs to get them all together and say 'no more'. Every time Ronchi gets on strike, give him a single. Get Latham on strike and break the partnership."

Fall of wickets: 2-1 (Guptill 0), 2-2 (Williamson 0), 68-3 (Taylor 20), 123-4 (McCullum 41), 144-5 (Watling 14)
"Catches win matches" may be a mantra echoing around Headingley as Broad begins a new over, and both Ronchi and the reprieved Latham are chipping along quite nicely. The Kiwis have 250 as Latham helps himself to a square-driven four, and they've earned another drinks break.

NZ 245-5 (Latham 79*, Ronchi 73*)
Another lbw appeal from Moeen against Latham, but umpire Ravi shakes his head and with no reviews left, there's nowt England can do. Latham squeezes a two wide of the diving Broad at mid-on, and that's the century partnership. 13 overs left today.

"Alastair Cook had to go a long way. I think this may be Ian Bell's catch, but he hasn't flinched at second slip. He should have gone for it."
Dropped catch
NZ 243-5
Despite all that chuntering at the umpire last over, it's still Broad for now, and Ronchi temporarily moves ahead of his partner with an single. Latham, who's looked tentative against off-spin, has no problem against Broad's right-arm seam and unleashes a textbook cover drive for four. Next ball, unbelievably, he's dropped again in the slips - it's between the two, first slip Alastair Cook leaps to his left and gets two hands to it but shells the chance while second slip Ian Bell hadn't moved.
"This is the second-highest total New Zealand have ever made after 50 overs, after the 281 they made against Pakistan in Sharjah last year. It also beats the historical average ODI score, which is 236."
"It's an absolute dolly from Wood. Moeen has every right to be pulling his beard out."
Two dropped catches
NZ 237-5
Moeen licks his fingers before spinning the ball down to Latham, with Ballance having moved from short leg to leg slip - but a very fine sweep ricochets from pad, to the keeper's glove, to leg slip's hand, and they run a couple of leg byes. Another sweep is dropped by Mark Wood diving to his right at backward square leg, then a nudge off his legs is dropped by Ballance at leg slip - how many lives has Latham had now?
"Luke Ronchi is a glorious timer of a cricket ball. He deson't look like he's trying to score quickly; whereas McCullum looks quite frenetic, he looks half asleep. He's looked like he has played 100 Tests."
NZ 235-5 (Latham 72*, Ronchi 72*)
There are two scouts back on the leg-side fence for Ronchi, and a man at third man for the miscue over the slips, but the debutant keeps going, flicking a four off his hip from a short ball (though Hotspot indicates it may not have actually hit his bat). And next ball, Broad is charged with a no-ball by umpire Tucker for his third bouncer of the over. Broad isn't happy, seeming to indicate to Mr Tucker that Ronchi ducked underneath it... Ronchi smacks another four over extra cover to draw level with his partner - at nearly three times the strike rate.

NZ 224-5 (Broad 8-0-51-1)
A change in the bowling as Stuart Broad returns in place of Anderson - but it's more of the same from Ronchi as he leans into the delivery with a checked off-drive for four. A short delivery is effortlessly hooked for four over fine leg - not far off being a six - and is retrieved by a gentleman in a panama hat with a hatband in Yorkshire colours, who is also wearing a sinister pair of dark gloves.

NZ 216-5
As if inspired by Ronchi's heroics, Latham comes down the track to Moeen and hits the ball straight at Gary Ballance at short leg, who may have the time to run him out, but the helmeted fielder can't grasp the ball cleanly as Latham dives back into his crease. A maiden for Moeen - his first and last overs have been maidens, giving him curious figures of 5-2-25-0.
"I bet you this is a taste of what we've got to come in the Ashes series, in that the Aussies will try to target Moeen and give Alastair Cook a problem. In fact Ronchi is an Aussie!"
Ronchi was born in Dannevirke, New Zealand but spent most of his childhood in Australia and played four ODIs and three T20 internationals for Australia in 2008-09.
NZ 216-5 (Latham 71*, Ronchi 55*)
It's like there are two different games going on here. At one end, Anderson is keeping it tight and keeping New Zealand under control - and at the other, the sixth-wicket pair are tucking into Moeen Ali like schoolkids let loose in the tuck shop. Anderson even finds a bit of late swing, just one single from the over.
"Ronchi's fifty, off 37 balls, is the second fastest by a Test batsman on debut. The fastest was by his team-mate Tim Southee, who hit a half-century off 29 balls against England in Napier in 2008."
"What a way to bring up your first Test half-century, in your first Test match."
50 for Ronchi
NZ 215-5
Ronchi continues his aggressive approach, hitting a low skimmer towards Stuart Broad at mid-off, and is dropped as the tall paceman can't quite get down in time and the ball disappears for four. That takes him to 49 - and the Kiwi-turned-Aussie-turned-Kiwi brings up his half-century, from only 37 balls with a powerful slog sweep for six! A sparkling innings by the 34-year-old debutant.

You wouldn't think that Latham was the established Test opener and Ronchi the debutant here. Ronchi is picking up runs with consummate ease, while Latham is left fishing at thin air against Anderson.

Ronchi and Latham work the singles against Moeen, while left-hander Latham attempts a sweep but misses the ball which sails down the leg side for four byes - the first byes of the game.

About 3 years later I was sitting in a pub in the tiny village of Llangorse near Brecon when a crowd of people arrived and started throwing beer mats to each other. One came my way and an attractive young lady with long blonde hair turned round to take the beer mat back and remarked that I looked a lot like David Gower. Incredibly, it was the same girl. Cool as you like I replied "You quite like him don't you, Vicky." Her face was a picture of complete bewilderment!
NZ 180-5 (Latham 68*, Ronchi 26*)
There still looks to be a stiff breeze at Headingley, but Anderson can't find any assistance at this stage. Latham adds a single to his score, while some helmets are brought out, signalling that we might be seeing some spin for the first time today.

James Anderson back in the attack - as Graeme Swann pointed out on TMS earlier, the "Burnley Express" is sporting a rather different haircut today, very short on the sides. In fact, it's not entirely dissimilar to the haircut of a former team-mate of Anderson and Swann - an ex-Natal off-spinner who probably won't be on their Christmas card lists... But Jimmy has to wait for wicket number 402 as Ronchi pokes a three through the covers, while Latham drills a four past mid-on.
"The English bowlers have concentrated on Latham's leg stump. If you look at Latham's run chart in this innings, a high percentage would be from mid-wicket down to fine leg."
NZ 160-5
A predatory cordon of slip fielders stand behind Latham, who nearly turns Stokes onto his stumps - immediately examining the toe-end of his bat as though there was no possible way he would otherwise have played a false stroke. An elegant off-drive brings the Christchurch-born left-hander (son of Rod Latham, one of NZ's array of medium-pace trundlers from the 1992 World Cup) four more.
"It's the same as Lord's in terms of the pace of the game. It's getting to where it needs to be very quickly. Every time the bowlers try to sneak a wicket, the New Zealanders are pouncing on it."

Latham knocks Stokes for a single, bringing Ronchi (by the way, it's pronounced "ron-key", to rhyme with donkey or wonky) on strike. England's tails are up after that wicket, even more so after Ronchi fishes at one outside off stump - but a single takes the tourists to 150.

Time for debutant wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi - who, as any Star Wars fan knows, is the first Luke to play Test cricket. (Considering this is the 2,163rd Test in history, that's rather surprising). His first ball is short, he fends it off and just over the leaping second slip for four. Clearly the Force is with Luke at this stage.

The latter was bombarded by irritating emails asking if he was the England fast bowler. The fact we lived in Somerset didn't seem to deter them...
NZ 143-4
The twin Durham seam attack (Stokes and Wood) continues, with Stokes - fresh from his Lord's heroics - bowling a tighter line and length than his team-mate, only yielding a single. And though England's fielders are nearly all sporting their new faux cable-knit sweaters, the sun is now shining at Headingley. Just a few white fluffy clouds here and there.

Peter Allen: After speaking at Bury CC's dinner, Derek Pringle joined a few of us in a local nightclub. A girl kept looking over at him and eventually plucked up the courage to ask "excuse me, are you Michael Atherton?"
"You bowl off length, off line, you get smacked for four as it sits up nicely. But when you bowl the length, you will get a bit of response."
NZ 142-4 (Latham 56*, Watling 14*)
A bit wide, wild and woolly from Wood as Watling, who stands very upright, chops a couple of fours through the covers, also knocking a boundary off his legs. Frustratingly for England, he also beats the outside edge three times when he pitches the ball up. A curate's egg of an over - three fours and three beat-the-bats.
And apparently the area of Headingley formerly known as the Western Terrace, subsequently renamed the West Stand, has now been renamed the White Rose Stand. If it's anything like county one-day nicknames, it might get another new name in a year or two.

Mark Wood, who took that catch last over, bounds in from the Kirkstall Lane End to left-hander Tom Latham, who's lost four batting partners so far. He knocks a single off his legs to the short boundary down at fine leg - which is even shorter than it might be, with the rope brought in a little. Watling is off the mark with a single, while a fluent on-drive brings Latham his ninth boundary.

Alas, the Aire Wharfe league 3rd XI standard was as good as it got for me. We do though share the same position in the batting line-up.
NZ 123-4 (Latham 51*, Watling 0*)
BJ Watling is the new batsman - the knee injury he sustained at Lord's is preventing him keeping wicket in this game, but he's playing here as a pure number six batsman, having sub-contracted wicketkeeping duties to debutant Luke Ronchi. He sees off the rest of a wicket maiden from Stokes.
"That was just a good length ball. He plays that way, and he dies that way. He doesn't give himself. I think he should just temper it a fraction."

New Zealand 123-3 (25 overs)
Batsmen: Latham 51*, McCullum 41*
Fall of wickets: 2-1 (Guptill 0), 2-2 (Williamson 0), 68-3 (Taylor 20)
Bowling figures: Anderson 7-2-28-2, Broad 7-0-43-1, Wood 7-2-28-0, Stokes 4-1-13-0.
Well, England got off to the perfect start with those to early wickets for Jimmy Anderson, taking him past the hallowed 400-wicket mark.
Ross Taylor batted watchfully for a while in partnership with the impressive Tom Latham, but it was when Broad trapped Taylor lbw and Brendon McCullum strode to the crease that the party really started. He and Latham put on a rapid 50 stand - with a super-charged McCullum contributing 40 - to wrest back the initiative for New Zealand.

NZ 118-3 (Latham 51, McCullum 36)
McCullum is playing a real gem of an innings here - he's playing a few aggressive shots, but he's mixing them well with controlled singles to rotate the strike. He pings a hook shot to the boundary when Stokes drops short, then continues his frustrating cameo with a nudge to deep square to immediately get off strike - and bring up the 50 partnership. Clever batting.

NZ 110-3 (Stokes 3-1-8-0)
He's in the mood, McCullum. Ben Stokes's first ball is in the slot and McCullum marmalises it through the covers for four. Stokes goes a bit straighter with his next ball and the New Zealand skipper just knocks him off his legs for a single. That brings Latham on strike and Stokes nearly has him, finding the shoulder of the bat with a lifting delivery, but the ball just eludes the grasp of the leaping Joe Root at gully.
England could really do with someone a bit taller in the gully. What was the name of the 6ft 4 guy that used to field there? Kevin something...

50 for Latham
NZ 98-3
Stokes draws Latham into a loose stroke outside off, but his next shot is more resolute, punching a single to cover to bring up his fifty. An excellent knock in difficult circumstances from the youngster.
"I'd want a fly slip in here for McCullum, about 25 yards deeper that the slip cordon. McCullum's ethos is to come out and be ultra-aggressive, disrupt the bowlers and knock them off their length. At the moment, it's working."
NZ 96-3 (Broad 6-0-38-1)
Buttler concedes four overthrows when his shy misses the stumps, then it's back to the real business of Broad v McCullum. McCullum wins round two, whipping four off his legs and them smoking another boundary through the covers. Tasty.
"The ball's stopped swinging prodigiously, the sun's out and that can often mean it's good batting conditions at Headingley."
NZ 82-3 (Latham 44, McCullum 8)
Imagine Brendon McCullum giving a best man's speech - there would be no introductory remarks, no long-winded childhood reminiscences, instead it would be a ceaseless fusillade of outrageous jokes and explosive revelations from start to finish.
Stokes is the new bowler and he begins with a maiden to the rather more cirucmspect Latham.
"Last year, McCullum had a Test triple century, a double century and a 195. I'd take a few failures for that."

NZ 72-3 (Latham 42, McCullum 0)

NZ 56-2
Mark Wood has been a little erratic since the resumption and he is punished when a short ball is pummelled away in front of square by Latham for four. But when Wood zones in that fuller, tempting length, he gets Latham in a bit of trouble - getting him to skew a couple off the face of the bat through the gully region. But with spots of rain beginning to appear again, Latham reasserts his authority - and brings up the 50 partnership - with a nice whip to the square-leg boundary.

England have a very attacking field for Anderson, which means plenty of close catchers, but also a few run-scoring opportunities for New Zealand. Ross Taylor takes advantage of one such avenue with a powerful cut for four. When Anderson gets a little too straight, Taylor steers him nicely to mid-on for a couple more.
"I feel sorry for the batsmen here. It's difficult to get any kind of rhythm when you're on and off like this."

NZ 26-2 (Latham 22, Taylor 0)
That last over showcased a particularly fine example of Stuart Broad's signature appealing method: a very cursory 'howzat', followed by an immediate turn around, arms raised triumphantly to the sky in celebration in an attempt to convince the umpire. If that doesn't work, turn back to face the umpire and give him a look comprising equal parts disbelief, exasperation and contempt. It worked on umpire Ravi, but sadly the DRS foiled Broad on that occasion.

My mother insisted when I was at school in the 60s that all my kit had my name on it, so I would walk out to bat with Peter May written on the back of my bat and this used to be OK if I scored some runs but not so clever if I was out cheaply!

NZ 17-2 (Anderson 3-2-9-2)
If we learnt anything from the last Test, it's that attack is often the best form of defence when you're in a perilous position, and Tom Latham lands a couple of counter-punches on Jimmy Anderson. They're not wild swings though, rather beautifully timed blows: one a full-blooded drive through the covers, the other a lovely clip off his legs.
Post update

"Just because you have 400, or even 401, Test wickets, it doesn't stop you from making a fool of yourself in front of the Western Terrace. Lancastrian James Anderson gets ironic cheers from the Yorkshire crowd as he falls over, responding with a wave of appreciation. In days gone by, Lancastrians have been torn limb from limb on that side of the ground."
NZ 9-2 (Latham 5, Taylor 0)
These are dreadful times to be a batsman: your side two down for not very many, five men in the slips, the ball hooping under leaden skies. Latham nearly becomes the third man to perish when he plays and misses at a wide Broad delivery, but he does make the scoreboard look very slightly healthier from a New Zealand point of view by diverting four leg byes past a despairing Jos Buttler.
"Williamson, when he looks at that, will be disappointed. He had time to make a judgement whether to play at that or not, but just succeeded in getting a villainous edge to the keeper. You sense James Anderson will be a real handful this afternoon."

Williamson c Buttler b Anderson 0 (NZ 2-2)
New Zealand are on the rack here, and Jimmy Anderson is tormenting them. He sends down another perfectly directed awayswinger, which leaves Kane Williamson, possessor of one of the soundest techniques in Test cricket, unsure whether to play or leave. The result is a thin edge through to Jos Buttler, and England are jubilant. That is suddenly starting to look like a very important toss to win...

Rain stops play
Yes, just to confirm, the players are back in the dressing rooms again and the covers are back on. A great start for England, but their push for further wickets is halted. We'll bring you details about pitch inspections/resumptions as soon as we get them.
"I'd like to have been there at second slip to catch that for Jimmy. I caught his 300th, though I had to pick a bit of grass out of the ball as it may have touched the grass. He doesn't enjoy being in the spotlight - he wanted Botham's record out of the way in the West Indies - and having got that early wicket, he'll probably bowl better now. He'll look back on this match and worry about the haircut he's had - it looks like the nit nurse has got to him."
"As the rain arrives, Anderson is oblivious, as his team-mates congratulate him and the stands rise to applaud England's most successful Test bowler. A classic Anderson dismissal, the ball just swung away enough. And he can celebrate in the dressing rooms as they're going off."
WICKET
Guptill c Bell b Anderson 0 (NZ 2-1)
Martin Guptill looks frantically around at the umpires as the rain begins to fall, like a rabbit in the crosshairs. And so it proves as Jimmy Anderson takes advantage of the nightmarish batting conditions to claim his 400th Test wicket, drawing the batsman into a forward push which sends an edge flying to second slip.
Ian Bell, who dropped a couple in the last Test match, takes a good catch. You have to feel for Guptill though, a dreadful time to have to bat, and indeed no sooner has he departed than rain stops play again.
"As a swing bowler you know which direction you want the wind to come from - and it's entirely in the wrong place for Broad. And I think there's a shower approaching, I can see it in the trees. Hopefully the wind will blow it away."
NZ 2-0 (Guptill 0, Latham 2)
Stuart Broad takes the new cherry from the other end. Lightly comedic scenes ensue as he completely mislays his run-up on the second delivery and breaks into bizarre, stuttery run, like a beachgoer running over a particularly scalding patch of sand. Latham collects the first runs of the day with a clip off his legs for two.
NZ 0-0
Anderson's first ball is a rather gentle loosener, but it does swing away, no doubt about it. Encouraging signs for England, who have four men stationed hungrily in the slip cordon, waiting for Guptill to have a nibble. It's a rather nervous start from the Kiwi opener, who sees a couple of well-directed deliveries shape just past the edge of his tentatively out-thrust bat. A maiden.

Anderson - 399 and counting
So with England not batting until (let's be generous) tomorrow, Alastair Cook must wait for the chance to overtake his mentor Goochie at the top of England's Test runs list. So all eyes on James Anderson, who's been stuck on 399 Test wickets since dismissing Martin Guptill with the second ball of the second innings at Lord's.

The umpires take the field, to the applause of the fans at Headingley - and the covers are brought off again, to even greater applause.
"A shortened first day means the overs are carried over. There will be two 40-over sessions in the day. That's a long time - you're bowling two-and-a-half spells if you're a premier seamer. But on the flipside, it's green, it's at Headingley and they'll be hoping they can bowl New Zealand out in the first day. That's what goes through bowlers' minds."

There is clearly more to England newcomer Mark Wood than his ability to bowl a skiddy 92mph from a fairly short, bounding run-up - and I'm not talking about his imaginary horse. Born and raised in Ashington in the heart of the north-east (we're talking Steve Harmison country here), he's from a family of Newcastle United fans, but has spoken glowingly of his support for... AFC Wimbledon.
So he may be from Northumberland, but remember, he's a Womble.

"No surprise from the toss, definitely a bowl-first day. The track is looking less green, mind. A mower went up and down not long after the covers came off. With Luke Ronchi in to the New Zealand side, he will be the fourth man in the XI to keep in a Test match. Is that a record?"
Ronchi makes Test debut
So, confirmation that Luke Ronchi - born in New Zealand, a veteran of four ODIs and three T20s for Australia, then 45 ODIs and 12 T20s for New Zealand, with three seasons playing for Bashley in the Southern League along the way - will make his Test debut behind the stumps.
He replaces the injured Corey Anderson, while regular keeper BJ Watling will play as a specialist batsman at number six. They'll miss Anderson's bowling - but he only sent down eight overs in the match.
Captain's view
New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum: "I wasn't sure to be honest [what to do at the toss]. The beauty of us batting first is we get the opportunity to play from the front of the game. Corey Anderson didn't scrub up fit and BJ Watling isn't fit to keep, so Luke Ronchi comes in at seven and we're excited for him, it's a memorable opportunity. We've got some hard work to do inside the first couple of sessions, but if we do it well, we'll create some opportunities for later in the match."
Captain's view
England captain Alastair Cook: "It wasn't an easy decision, but the Yorkshire boys tell me it gets flatter and flatter. The guys came in and did well so it's good to be unchanged. It was a fantastic Test match last time and we're going to try and get the same result."
Team line-ups
England XI: Adam Lyth, Alastair Cook (capt), Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (wk), Moeen Ali, Stuart Broad, Mark Wood, James Anderson.
New Zealand XI: Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Brendon McCullum (capt), BJ Watling, Luke Ronchi (wk), Mark Craig, Tim Southee, Matt Henry, Trent Boult.
England win toss & bowl
England win the toss and field first. A day for it to swing around corners at Headingley?
Team news
And quick as a flash, we're almost ready for the toss - Aggers is in place. England are unchanged, while New Zealand make one change - wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi is in for his Test debut.
"Ian Bell needs constant reassurance, he needs to be told he's a wonderful player. He's very particular about his practice routine too. Joe Root has a fifth of Bell's experience but doesn't need any of the reassurance."

On advice to players: "Even some of the best cricketers in the world sometimes forget their technique, or forget how good they are. Sometimes they need an arm round the shoulder, sometimes they just need to be told they're missing something. When I was at Kent, sometimes I got too involved and dumped some of my angst onto the players. But I learned a lot from that - it was my first job as a head coach, but while you're jumping up and down and cursing, it takes away from what you're telling the players.

On dispensing advice to players: "It's massively like being a parent. You have to ask the right questions, be aware of their feelings, understand how they like to learn. Players at all level know the answers - coaches facilitate the learning, but players ultimately teach other players."
On how to deal with elite players: "International cricket is about performance. If you can help somebody to feel good about themselves when they go out to play, you're doing your job. Bad coaching is to dump all the information you've got on a player. The key is knowing when to offer something."
Simon Hughes has been talking to England caretaker coach Paul Farbrace about what makes a coach.
He says: "The coach's role is very wide. It ranges from technical talk to tactical talk to psychology work. At this level, you're more working on the mental aside of the game. You need to be aware of the personalities you're dealing with - everybody needs something different."
"In essence, I think a coach is two things. He's a facilitator - so he will give a player what he needs to improve his game, whether it be a particular tool or a technique - but he's also there to make players feel better about themselves."

The umpires are coming out for a look.

The splendidly moustachioed Aussie David Boon continues as match referee.

On the news that Corey Anderson will miss the Test with injury: "New Zealand have got a number of options. They could play Luke Ronchi, but does he add to that quite long tail that they have got? They could play Latham as a keeper and put Hamish Rutherford in at the top of the order to preserve the order. I would be contemplating Doug Bracewell. I think New Zealand have got to think very carefully about the make-up of their bowling."
Post update
As Jeremy Coney has alluded to on TMS, there are a few selection issues in the New Zealand camp. Wicketkeeper BJ Watling suffered a knee injury on the first morning at Lord's and did not keep wicket after lunch on the first day, leaving poor old opener Tom Latham keeping wicket for most of the Test. Back-up keeper Luke Ronchi, who spent most of the Lord's Test in the field as 12th man, could be in line for a Test debut - while Watling could play as a batsman. And it's bad news for Corey Anderson fans...
"It's a question of whether New Zealand are too one-dimensional. We know McCullum is going to set extremely aggressive field placings. It's made the game very exciting. But that approach relies a lot on the players, particularly on the bowlers, and at times at Lord's it didn't quite work.

He talks of how a team who were once seen as "overpaid prima donnas" have risen up world cricket's rankings - you can read more of that interview here.
"So many people would not have what Stokes did in the 5-0 Ashes defeat, including the hundred in Perth, because of the time difference. But to do it in an English summer is something completely different."
"Ben Stokes is the kind of cricketer that England have been needing. He's not off the wall, but he's the kind of player that when the gets the ball or bat in his hand, people will talk about it in the bar. He'll be on the front pages as well as back pages. I don't think he'll be completely consistent, but he'll produce magic."

If you're just joining us hoping for the start of play and the umpires walking out around this time, I'm afraid it's been delayed by rain - the captains have not tossed up yet, and there's no news as to when they might.
Better news is that it looks like the rain may have stopped - and while the covers remain on, the weights at the very edge of the covers are being removed. Every journey has a first step...
On beating Graham Gooch's England run-scoring record: "To be in this position is strange, what I do know he will always be the best. Without his help I would be nowhere near it. What he has done for English cricket helping me and other guys he's worked with - I wouldn't be standing here without him.
"He's been my hero since I was an 18-year-old who turned up to be on the Essex county staff. To have your hero working with you, and now I class him as a very close friend. If that moment happens it will be a special moment."
Post update
A reminder that while he has been appointed to the England job, Trevor Bayliss will not officially take over until June - and that assistant coach Paul Farbrace, who will stay on to assist Bayliss as he did with Sri Lanka, remains in temporary charge for this Test.

BBC Sport at Headingley
"A pretty depressing scene at Headingley, where covers mask the entire square and blotters fight a losing battle against the falling rain. Leeds train station was full of people heading to the cricket, but not many of those spectators are silly enough to sit in the stands right now. This is the only Test match north of Nottingham all summer, so it would be a great shame if it's heavily affected by the weather. My girlfriend keeps banging on about the weather being better in the south. I'd hate it if she was right."

Simon Goodall: Whose idea was it to hold a Test in Leeds in May? Should have been played as furthest south as possible.
Lawrence Smith: The news of rain up north has officially spoilt my day of sneakily following the cricket updates whilst sitting at my desk.
Jonathan Armstrong: If the rain in Leeds is the same as down the road here it looks like England have just won the series.
On the appointment of Trevor Bayliss as coach from June: "It's fantastic news for English cricket. His track record is outstanding. I've spoken to Eoin Morgan and Brendon McCullum, who knows him from the IPL, and has only good things to say about him.
"It will be different for me having to form a relationship with a guy I don't know, but I have no doubts it will be no problem at all.
"His track record is fantastic. It's great to have that coming in. Once all the talking stops, it will be down to the 11 players on the field, but I'm sure he will have us well prepared."

England runs record on the horizon
And as Aggers points out, there's an approaching milestone for Captain Cook (if and when they get back out on the field) - he's currently on 8,869 Test runs, only 31 behind his mentor Graham Gooch (8,900) who is England's leading run-scorer of all time.
Cook has also reached that figure in five fewer Tests (113) than Gooch (118), averaging 46,67 compared to Gooch's 42.58.
England captain Alastair Cook spoke to TMS's Jonathan Agnew yesterday. Here's some of what he had to say...
On England's win in the first Test: "It was a brilliant week and turning up here a few days after it you have that glow of a job well done.
"But one of the dangers is becoming over-confident and forgetting all the hard work that went into that match. There were moments when we were behind the eight ball and not playing as well as we would have liked.
"In Test cricket the minute you get ahead of yourself it comes back very quickly. We have to carry that feel good factor through. So many good things stick and the last day will stick in our memory for a long time."
"He's an old-school cricket man. He adores the game. He won't use the computers too much. He's very clever in the way he puts together one-day teams, in terms of the roles he gives. In Bayliss, I think England have got a very good cricket man."
"Trevor Bayliss may be a great coach, but I looked him up and I played against him. I can't think he must have been a very good player of off-spin - as he was caught Moody bowled Marks 22."
Start delayed - and have your say
So, with no play for a while, with the toss and the start of play (11:00 BST) officially delayed, Test Match Special will be discussing newly appointed England coach Trevor Bayliss. With him in charge, will the England team run like clockwork?

"The way that Ben Stokes played at Lord's - I didn't really care what happened with the result of the match, it was just so exciting."
It's raining
BBC Weather's Matt Taylor on TMS: "It's been a thoroughly soggy morning. The optimist in me says they should be out there by about 13:00 BST. Once they are out, I'm hopeful they will stay out there most of the day - with just a slight chance of a passing shower. Saturday is the best chance of a full day - Tuesday, the final day, looks like it could be more off than on."
Post update
The super soppers are out in force - one contraption, which resembles a light roller (but is effectively soaking up the rain) is dragged across the square by a member of the ground staff - who then empties out all the water on the sidelines.
"What strikes me is how, within five days, one wonderful game can change the complexion of English cricket, after all the agonising that's gone on for the last 12 months."

Test Match Special's Henry Moeran: With the rain pouring in Leeds, I'm not convinced the sprinklers are needed at the rugby league ground...!
Other than a sturdy umbrella, Test Match Special will be your most useful ally on a weather-hit day like today - and the team are already on air. While we don't expect a prompt start to the cricket, there's plenty to talk about - England have appointed a new coach since the last Test, for a start - though he doesn't take up the role until next month.
You can listen to TMS on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra, BBC Radio 4 Long Wave, via the BBC iPlayer Radio app, BBC Sport website and app, and via your mobile, tablet, stick of iRhubarb or one of those natty little earpiece radios you can buy at the ground. (Even Joe Root was wearing one at Lord's, so there).
Il pleut
Yes, I'm afraid cricket's greatest enemy is back - the weather. It's raining in Leeds, it has been for a while, and those in the now are predicting with a fair degree of confidence that we won't get any play before lunch - at least.
After a thrilling first Test at Lord's, England and New Zealand have headed up north to Headingley, where we can promise swashbuckling batting, heroic bowling, spectacular fielding, entertaining commentary, tea and cakes, and... rain.

That's it from Headingley for the day - BBC Radio 5 live sports extra will now switch to commentary from Chelmsford where Essex face Somerset (now with added go-faster Chris Gayle) in the T20 Blast. You can follow live text commentary, and listen to the game of your choice, via the BBC Sport website.
As for England and New Zealand, they'll be back tomorrow for day two - fingers crossed, the BBC weather forecast is predicting "a fine and dry day with plenty of sunny spells. Good batting weather, you'd think.
Until then, thanks for your company though the rain - and your tales of being mistaken for certain cricketers - we'll be back from about 10:30 BST tomorrow. Bye for now.

"England are going to have a very good day to bat. It will be light sunshine throughout the day. I think England are in a good position. The problem for New Zealand is their spinner can't bowl for toffee, and Southee has to improve too. If England don't make more runs than New Zealand, they haven't batted very well."

"McCullum was exciting but you live and die by the way you play. It looked silly, he looked angry but it's the way he plays. I think you have to have a few balls before you attack. Attacking from the first ball is reckless."
Review of the day
The day began with rain - there was no play before lunch, and even after Alastair Cook had won the toss and elected to field, there were still occasions when the players were running on and off because of the weather.
New Zealand were reeling at 2-2 at one stage but Tom Latham (84) and especially debutant Luke Ronchi (88 from 70 balls) made England work for their wickets as the tourists rattled along at four-and-a-half or nearly five runs an over.
While Cook's men will hope to knock the last two wickets over cheaply tomorrow morning, he might also reflect on dropped catches which might have had England batting already.
Post update
Geoffrey Boycott
Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special
"I thought we should have bowled New Zealand out today. They shouldn't have made much more than 200. We don't have the discipline to bowl six balls in an area. I wonder if we have the mentality to tie an end up."

"I think the quality of the cricket is similar to Lord's. A lot of credit is due to the groundsman. Once there's a bit there for the bowler, the captain has slips, there are gaps there for the batsmen to score runs. We need a pitch which encourages all types of cricketers and we've had that here today."

"New Zealand have reaped what they've sowed, so there have been wickets as well. But the game is very well advanced, so England will be batting quite early tomorrow. New Zealand will be batting third, which means the decision will be theirs, if they're good enough to bowl England out."
Close of play scorecard
New Zealand 297-8 (65 overs)
Batsmen: Craig 16*, Henry 14*

"That's the end of a really quite remarkable day in which we lost 25 overs, and yet 300 runs were scored."
Close of play
NZ 297-8
Mark Wood to bowl the last over of the day, once again Craig is having to defend a short ball which nearly pops to short leg. He evades a couple which are taken down the leg side by keeper Jos Buttler - there's even a strangle down the leg side off the last ball of the day as England appeal for a catch, but Craig stands firm and walks off. And so ends a curious rain-truncated day of only 65 overs - but nearly 300 runs.

Edward: seems to me that England have periods when they just switch off. Dire bowling spinner doing nothing, three drops in eight balls. #wakeup
David townend: Ali's poor bowling has allowed NZ to come back into this & has lost the early pressure from Jimmy etc. Ali is not a Test spinner.
NZ 297-8
Henry unleashes a village-style tail-ender's cross-batted mow at Stokes - and fortune favours him as it sails over the slips for four. A swipe through mid-wicket, from a ball pitching outside off stump, brings him four more, while a sliced two past gully takes him to 14 from eight balls. Stokes (13-4-43-1) is done for the day. Last over coming up.

Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special
"New Zealand's tail is quite a long one at the moment. I think nine is too high for someone like Southee. Even though Henry looks a bit uncomfortable, I think he's got a better chance of scoring runs than Southee at the moment."
NZ 287-8 (Craig 16*, Henry 4*)
Craig has to fend off a fierce delivery from the pacy Wood which rears up at his gloves, but he steers it out of the reach of the lurking short leg fielder. A maiden over - two left.
NZ 287-8
Having put New Zealand in to bat at the start of this truncated day's play, I wonder how Alastair Cook feels with the overs running out. His side are close to bowling the Kiwis out, but they've rattled along at five an over for most of the day - while all those dropped catches won't have helped. Craig defends resolutely, just a leg bye from the over. Three to go.
NZ 286-8 (61 overs)
Matt Henry is the new batsman, he was able to hang around usefully in the first Test, the batsmen crossed on Southee's catch but Craig immediately takes a single to bring the number 10 on strike. Three slips, a gully and a short leg are posted. But a free swing brings Henry four through the covers.

Southee c Lyth b Wood 1 (NZ 281-8)
Saddle up - it's Mark Wood (and his imaginary horse) back into the attack - and he rides to England's rescue as a short ball does for Southee, who can't resist a hook shot and holes out to Adam Lyth at deep mid-wicket... A cheer goes up for the Yorkshire opener, taking a catch in front of the Western Terrace.

Michael Vaughan
Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special
"From 2-2, if England had bowled better, it could quite easily have been a day where New Zealand were bowled out for 180. But with the way they've played, aggressively, hitting the bowlers off their lengths, they've given themselves a decent first-innings total."
NZ 281-7
Spinner Moeen Ali (11-3-48-0) takes a rest as England turn back to the right-arm seam of Ben Stokes, but Craig is showing some decent technique for a man entrusted with the number eight position, driving fluently and seeing off a maiden over. Five overs left tonight.

NZ 281-7 (Craig 15*, Southee 1*)
Broad, having taken three of the seven wickets to fall today, goes round the wicket to the left-handed Craig who unleashes a firm straight drive back past the bowler - Michael Vaughan on TMS thinks that shot reminded him of Broad's father Chris. A more open-faced drive guides the ball down to third man for a well-run three which also ensures he keeps the strike.
Post update
Michael Vaughan

"Broad's been the enforcer today. He's been the bowler to turn to when you're down to Plans E, F and G, when the day hasn't quite gone England's way."
NZ 274-7
Craig is firm in defence, before flicking Moeen through mid-wicket for four - like Lord's last week, the outfield seems pretty quick. A hesitant single sees Craig take on the arm of James Anderson at backward point - but the throw is wide when a direct hit would have left the lumbering left-hander a yard or two short.

"There's going to be more rain in this game, so I think New Zealand realise that they've just got to get this game moving."

Ronchi is replaced by another tailender who's happy to slog - Tim Southee, the only batsman quicker to 50 on Test debut (that innings in Napier in 2008) than Ronchi was today. With eight overs left after this one, might England be thinking of having a bat tonight? Southee edges his first ball for a single, while Craig is off the mark as he pushes a well-run three through extra cover.

Latham c Root b Broad 84 (NZ 264-6)
Finally England have a breakthrough - and hold a catch - as Latham drives at Broad and nicks one to Joe Root at first slip. He had imperceptibly replaced Captain Cook who usually operates in that position. The stand of 120, from 24.1 overs, is broken.
Post update
Michael Vaughan
Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special
"New Zealand are having a tremendous day. Some of these shots by Luke Ronchi should be illegal. England have had a very off day with the ball. They've bowled too short and too wide. England haven't been at their best, but it's because the New Zealanders have knocked them off their lines and their lengths. This is something very special by Ronchi on debut. He looks like he's got control over those aggressive strokes."
NZ 263-5 (Latham 84*, Ronchi 86*)
Moeen, with 0-29 from eight overs, resumes proceedings after the drinks break as Latham, who looks a shade younger than his 23 years, is happy to proceed in singles while Ronchi thrashes the off-spinner for a six over mid-wicket and a four through point!

Drinks break

"Catches win matches" may be a mantra echoing around Headingley as Broad begins a new over, and both Ronchi and the reprieved Latham are chipping along quite nicely. The Kiwis have 250 as Latham helps himself to a square-driven four, and they've earned another drinks break.

Another lbw appeal from Moeen against Latham, but umpire Ravi shakes his head and with no reviews left, there's nowt England can do. Latham squeezes a two wide of the diving Broad at mid-on, and that's the century partnership. 13 overs left today.

Dropped catch
NZ 243-5
Despite all that chuntering at the umpire last over, it's still Broad for now, and Ronchi temporarily moves ahead of his partner with an single. Latham, who's looked tentative against off-spin, has no problem against Broad's right-arm seam and unleashes a textbook cover drive for four. Next ball, unbelievably, he's dropped again in the slips - it's between the two, first slip Alastair Cook leaps to his left and gets two hands to it but shells the chance while second slip Ian Bell hadn't moved.

"It's an absolute dolly from Wood. Moeen has every right to be pulling his beard out."
Two dropped catches
NZ 237-5
Moeen licks his fingers before spinning the ball down to Latham, with Ballance having moved from short leg to leg slip - but a very fine sweep ricochets from pad, to the keeper's glove, to leg slip's hand, and they run a couple of leg byes. Another sweep is dropped by Mark Wood diving to his right at backward square leg, then a nudge off his legs is dropped by Ballance at leg slip - how many lives has Latham had now?

"Luke Ronchi is a glorious timer of a cricket ball. He deson't look like he's trying to score quickly; whereas McCullum looks quite frenetic, he looks half asleep. He's looked like he has played 100 Tests."
NZ 235-5 (Latham 72*, Ronchi 72*)
There are two scouts back on the leg-side fence for Ronchi, and a man at third man for the miscue over the slips, but the debutant keeps going, flicking a four off his hip from a short ball (though Hotspot indicates it may not have actually hit his bat). And next ball, Broad is charged with a no-ball by umpire Tucker for his third bouncer of the over. Broad isn't happy, seeming to indicate to Mr Tucker that Ronchi ducked underneath it... Ronchi smacks another four over extra cover to draw level with his partner - at nearly three times the strike rate.

NZ 224-5 (Broad 8-0-51-1)
A change in the bowling as Stuart Broad returns in place of Anderson - but it's more of the same from Ronchi as he leans into the delivery with a checked off-drive for four. A short delivery is effortlessly hooked for four over fine leg - not far off being a six - and is retrieved by a gentleman in a panama hat with a hatband in Yorkshire colours, who is also wearing a sinister pair of dark gloves.

NZ 216-5
As if inspired by Ronchi's heroics, Latham comes down the track to Moeen and hits the ball straight at Gary Ballance at short leg, who may have the time to run him out, but the helmeted fielder can't grasp the ball cleanly as Latham dives back into his crease. A maiden for Moeen - his first and last overs have been maidens, giving him curious figures of 5-2-25-0.

"I bet you this is a taste of what we've got to come in the Ashes series, in that the Aussies will try to target Moeen and give Alastair Cook a problem. In fact Ronchi is an Aussie!"
Ronchi was born in Dannevirke, New Zealand but spent most of his childhood in Australia and played four ODIs and three T20 internationals for Australia in 2008-09.
NZ 216-5 (Latham 71*, Ronchi 55*)
It's like there are two different games going on here. At one end, Anderson is keeping it tight and keeping New Zealand under control - and at the other, the sixth-wicket pair are tucking into Moeen Ali like schoolkids let loose in the tuck shop. Anderson even finds a bit of late swing, just one single from the over.
How's stat?!

"Ronchi's fifty, off 37 balls, is the second fastest by a Test batsman on debut. The fastest was by his team-mate Tim Southee, who hit a half-century off 29 balls against England in Napier in 2008."
It's also the fastest Test fifty at Headingley.

50 for Ronchi
NZ 215-5
Ronchi continues his aggressive approach, hitting a low skimmer towards Stuart Broad at mid-off, and is dropped as the tall paceman can't quite get down in time and the ball disappears for four. That takes him to 49 - and the Kiwi-turned-Aussie-turned-Kiwi brings up his half-century, from only 37 balls with a powerful slog sweep for six! A sparkling innings by the 34-year-old debutant.

NZ 205-5 (Latham 70*, Ronchi 45*)
You wouldn't think that Latham was the established Test opener and Ronchi the debutant here. Ronchi is picking up runs with consummate ease, while Latham is left fishing at thin air against Anderson.

Luke Ronchi seems to be taking to Test cricket very easily, lashing Moeen Ali over long-on for six, the ball crashing into the advertising which covers the rope (but hitting it on the full, as it were). A firmly swept single takes him to 44 from 32 balls.

Ronchi and Latham work the singles against Moeen, while left-hander Latham attempts a sweep but misses the ball which sails down the leg side for four byes - the first byes of the game. Moeen's radar is off as he spins one down the leg side which the right-handed Ronchi helps away for four - that's the fifty stand, from only 55 deliveries.

Naturally I was flattered but I never saw her again after that day. About 3 years later I was sitting in a pub in the tiny village of Llangorse near Brecon when a crowd of people arrived and started throwing beer mats to each other. One came my way and an attractive young lady with long blonde hair turned round to take the beer mat back and remarked that I looked a lot like David Gower. Incredibly, it was the same girl. Cool as you like I replied "You quite like him don't you, Vicky." Her face was a picture of complete bewilderment!

Ronchi drives at Stokes, the big Durham man leaps to his right to try to cut the ball off but can't reach it and that's four. The debutant tucks into Stokes with two more cover drives, fizzing away for four - Ronchi has 26 from his first 18 balls in Test cricket. Time for a change in the bowling?

James Anderson back in the attack - as Graeme Swann pointed out on TMS earlier, the "Burnley Express" is sporting a rather different haircut today, very short on the sides. In fact, it's not entirely dissimilar to the haircut of a former team-mate of Anderson and Swann - an ex-Natal off-spinner who probably won't be on their Christmas card lists...

A predatory cordon of slip fielders stand behind Latham, who nearly turns Stokes onto his stumps - immediately examining the toe-end of his bat as though there was no possible way he would otherwise have played a false stroke.

Afternoon summary
Well, England got off to the perfect start with those to early wickets for Jimmy Anderson, taking him past the hallowed 400-wicket mark.
Ross Taylor batted watchfully for a while in partnership with the impressive Tom Latham, but it was when Broad trapped Taylor lbw and Brendon McCullum strode to the crease that the party really started. He and Latham put on a rapid 50 stand - with a super-charged McCullum contributing 40 - to wrest back the initiative for New Zealand.
Work for England's seameers to do in the evening session...
Anderson joins 400 club
For those that missed it, James Anderson today became the first England player to take 400 Test wickets.
He tells Sky Sports: "It was a nice moment for me, and nice to get it early on in the game.
"We've got a lot of hard work to do here but I can put my feet up and enjoy it at the end of this game."
Tea - NZ 123-3
Wood 7-2-28-0
You can't play like Brendon McCullum does and not live a little dangerously. He gets a life when Mark Wood cramps him for room and his attempted pull flicks the glove but flies past the diving Jos Buttler. And that concludes an intriguing, stop-start session.

NZ 118-3 (Latham 51, McCullum 36)
McCullum is playing a real gem of an innings here - he's playing a few aggressive shots, but he's mixing them well with controlled singles to rotate the strike. He pings a hook shot to the boundary when Stokes drops short, then continues his frustrating cameo with a nudge to deep square to immediately get off strike - and bring up the 50 partnership.

He's in the mood, McCullum. Ben Stokes's first ball is in the slot and McCullum marmalises it through the covers for four. Stokes goes a bit straighter with his next ball and the New Zealand skipper just knocks him off his legs for a single. That brings Latham on strike and Stokes nearly has him, finding the shoulder of the bat with a lifting delivery, but the ball just eludes the grasp of the leaping Joe Root at gully.

While working in Pune, another of our team mates with whom he worked put him in the back of a Hindustan Ambassador and drove up to the VIP parking area in a sold out IPL game. He convinced the security guard that he had Prior in the back and they both got into the VIP parking and stands for the match.
Duncan, Whitby: I was visiting the sister-in-law in New Zealand and was watching an England warm-up game at Hamilton. Walking round the ground eating a bag of chips someone shouted out "Hey there's Jeremy Snape", being as follicly challenged as he (and an off-spinner, although that would have been less apparent).
NZ 56-2
Mark Wood has been a little erratic since the resumption and he is punished when a short ball is pummelled away in front of square by Latham for four. But when Wood zones in that fuller, tempting length, he gets Latham in a bit of trouble - getting him to skew a couple off the face of the bat through the gully region. But with spots of rain beginning to appear again, Latham reasserts his authority - and brings up the 50 partnership - with a nice whip to the square-leg boundary.

NZ 44-2 (Anderson 6-2-20-2)
England have a very attacking field for Anderson, which means plenty of close catchers, but also a few run-scoring opportunities for New Zealand. Ross Taylor takes advantage of one such avenue with a powerful cut for four. When Anderson gets a little too straight, Taylor steers him nicely to mid-on for a couple more.

"Both. I saw more of Courtney as he seemed to always be there with Gloucestershire, while I only faced Curtly a little with Northants. I wasn't physically scared of them, but I never thought they'd bowl me a bad ball. I was batting with Athers and I'd scored three from 48 balls, so I thought I'd pull the next ball - and then thought 'what have I done?'. But the other bowlers in that side. Franklyn Rose and Reon King, would always give you something to hit."

NZ 26-2 (Latham 22, Taylor 0)
That last over showcased a particularly fine example of Stuart Broad's signature appealing method: a very cursory 'howzat', followed by an immediate turn around, arms raised triumphantly to the sky in celebration in an attempt to convince the umpire. If that doesn't work, turn back to face the umpire and give him a look comprising equal parts disbelief, exasperation and contempt. It worked on umpire Ravi, but sadly the DRS foiled Broad on that occasion.
Latham adds three with a drive past gully.

NZ 17-2 (Anderson 3-2-9-2)
If we learnt anything from the last Test, it's that attack is often the best form of defence when you're in a perilous position, and Tom Latham lands a couple of counter-punches on Jimmy Anderson. They're not wild swings though, rather beautifully timed blows: one a full-blooded drive through the covers, the other a lovely clip off his legs.

In days gone by, Lancastrians have been torn limb from limb on that side of the ground."
NZ 9-2 (Latham 5, Taylor 0)
These are dreadful times to be a batsman: your side two down for not very many, five men in the slips, the ball hooping under leaden skies. Latham nearly becomes the third man to perish when he plays and misses at a wide Broad delivery, but he does make the scoreboard look very slightly healthier from a New Zealand point of view by diverting four leg byes past a despairing Jos Buttler.

Guptill c Bell b Anderson 0 (NZ 2-1)
Martin Guptill looks frantically around at the umpires as the rain begins to fall, like a rabbit in the crosshairs. And so it proves as Jimmy Anderson takes advantage of the nightmarish batting conditions to claim his 400th Test wicket, drawing the batsman into a forward push which sends an edge flying to second slip.
Ian Bell, who dropped a couple in the last Test match, takes a good catch. You have to feel for Guptill though, a dreadful time to have to bat, and indeed no sooner has he departed than rain stops play again.

NZ 2-0 (Guptill 0, Latham 2)
Stuart Broad takes the new cherry from the other end. Lightly comedic scenes ensue as he completely mislays his run-up on the second delivery and breaks into bizarre, stuttery run, like a beachgoer running over a particularly scalding patch of sand. Latham collects the first runs of the day with a clip off his legs for two.
NZ 0-0
Anderson's first ball is a rather gentle loosener, but it does swing away, no doubt about it. Encouraging signs for England, who have four men stationed hungrily in the slip cordon, waiting for Guptill to have a nibble. It's a rather nervous start from the Kiwi opener, who sees a couple of well-directed deliveries shape just past the edge of his tentatively out-thrust bat. A maiden.

"No surprise from the toss, definitely a bowl-first day. The track is looking less green, mind. A mower went up and down not long after the covers came off. With Luke Ronchi in to the New Zealand side, he will be the fourth man in the XI to keep in a Test match. Is that a record?"
Ronchi makes Test debut
So, confirmation that Luke Ronchi - born in New Zealand, a veteran of four ODIs and three T20s for Australia, then 45 ODIs and 12 T20s for New Zealand, with three seasons playing for Bashley in the Southern League along the way - will make his Test debut behind the stumps.
He replaces the injured Corey Anderson, while regular keeper BJ Watling will play as a specialist batsman at number six. They'll miss Anderson's bowling - but he only sent down eight overs in the match.
Captain's view
New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum: "I wasn't sure to be honest [what to do at the toss]. The beauty of us batting first is we get the opportunity to play from the front of the game. Corey Anderson didn't scrub up fit and BJ Watling isn't fit to keep, so Luke Ronchi comes in at seven and we're excited for him, it's a memorable opportunity. We've got some hard work to do inside the first couple of sessions, but if we do it well, we'll create some opportunities for later in the match."
Captain's view
England captain Alastair Cook: "It wasn't an easy decision, but the Yorkshire boys tell me it gets flatter and flatter. The guys came in and did well so it's good to be unchanged. It was a fantastic Test match last time and we're going to try and get the same result."
Team line-ups
England XI: Adam Lyth, Alastair Cook (capt), Gary Ballance, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (wk), Moeen Ali, Stuart Broad, Mark Wood, James Anderson.

Unfortunately, it wasn't Liam Plunkett and he turned a particularly fetching shade of pink when I mentioned I was an avid cricket fan. I accepted his offer of a drink though. I admired his cheek.
SA recall Philander from Notts
More news from Notts - they'll be without seamer Vernon Philander for Monday's County Championship match with Sussex after he was recalled early by Cricket South Africa. He'll leave this weekend, while his replacement, veteran Australia seamer Ben Hilfenhaus, is due to arrive on Tuesday.

Paul Farbrace interview
BBC Radio Test Match Special
On dispensing advice to players: "It's massively like being a parent. You have to ask the right questions, be aware of their feelings, understand how they like to learn. Players at all level know the answers - coaches facilitate the learning, but players ultimately teach other players."
Paul Farbrace interview
BBC Radio Test Match Special
On how to deal with elite players: "International cricket is about performance. If you can help somebody to feel good about themselves when they go out to play, you're doing your job. Bad coaching is to dump all the information you've got on a player. The key is knowing when to offer something."
Paul Farbrace interview
BBC Radio Test Match Special
Simon Hughes has been talking to England caretaker coach Paul Farbrace about what makes a coach.
He says: "The coach's role is very wide. It ranges from technical talk to tactical talk to psychology work. At this level, you're more working on the mental aside of the game. You need to be aware of the personalities you're dealing with - everybody needs something different."
What makes a good coach?
Simon Hughes
BBC Test Match Special
"In essence, I think a coach is two things. He's a facilitator - so he will give a player what he needs to improve his game, whether it be a particular tool or a technique - but he's also there to make players feel better about themselves."
What makes a good coach?
As promised, it's time on TMS for Simon Hughes's feature on what makes a good cricket coach - he's spoken to England caretaker coach Paul Farbrace. Pin your ears back and listen (you can also watch the video version here).
Scotland name squad for Afghanistan
Meanwhile, Scotland have named their squad for next week's Intercontinental Cup four-day fixture against Afghanistan at New Williamfield, Stirling. A new name in the Scottish ranks is Con de Lange, a South Africa-born left-arm spinner who previously played for Northants.
Squad: Preston Mommsen (capt), Richie Berrington, Matthew Cross, Freddie Coleman, Con de Lange, Alasdair Evans, Hamish Gardiner, Michael Leask, Calum MacLeod, Gavin Main, Safyaan Sharif, Andrew Umeed, Mark Watt.
Play starts on Tuesday and entry is free - so let's hope the good folk of Stirling get down to support their side.

"Sunshine at Headingley as the final covers are wheeled off the pitch to really a strip of green, barely distinguishable from the square. It looks spicy. Alastair Cook and Paul Farbrace are straight on it, Cook practically lying on the grass to get a feel. He's probably the type of man who speaks to his plants."

From the texts and tweets so far, this Test could have been played in Disley, Aberdeen, Chester-le-Street or Lanzarote.
Pitch inspection
The umpires are coming out for a look. On the field for this Test (when we do begin) are India's S Ravi and Australia's Rod Tucker, with South Africa's Marais Erasmus on TV replays and the aforementioned Neil Mallender as fourth ump. The splendidly moustachioed Aussie David Boon continues as match referee.

Jeremy Coney
Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special
"Kane Williamson is the absolute pivot of the New Zealand side. He is the key to their batting performances. He makes match-winning, difference-making runs at three. When he was out at Headingley, there was always the question of whether New Zealand could last it out."
Taylor to lead Notts
A bit of county news for you - James Taylor will captain Nottinghamshire against Sussex on Monday as skipper Chris Read's hamstring injury forces him to miss his first County Championship match for nearly two years. Either Riki Wessels or Brendan Taylor will stand in behind the stumps, while batsman Alex Hales returns after a spell carrying the drinks for Mumbai in the IPL.
James Taylor, already Notts' one-day captain, led England in that rain-affected ODI in Ireland earlier this month, you may remember.

Groundstaff are standing around on the covers, hands in pockets. One of their number is in earnest discussion with fourth umpire Neil Mallender (who made his Test debut on this ground against Pakistan in 1992). As Stephan said, no sign of the covers coming off - not a good sign.

On the news that Corey Anderson will miss the Test with injury: "New Zealand have got a number of options. They could play Luke Ronchi, but does he add to that quite long tail that they have got? They could play Latham as a keeper and put Hamish Rutherford in at the top of the order to preserve the order. I would be contemplating Doug Bracewell. I think New Zealand have got to think very carefully about the make-up of their bowling."
Post update
As Jeremy Coney has alluded to on TMS, there are a few selection issues in the New Zealand camp. Wicketkeeper BJ Watling suffered a knee injury on the first morning at Lord's and did not keep wicket after lunch on the first day, leaving poor old opener Tom Latham keeping wicket for most of the Test. Back-up keeper Luke Ronchi, who spent most of the Lord's Test in the field as 12th man, could be in line for a Test debut - while Watling could play as a batsman. And it's bad news for Corey Anderson fans...

Jeremy Coney
Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special
"It's a question of whether New Zealand are too one-dimensional. We know McCullum is going to set extremely aggressive field placings. It's made the game very exciting. But that approach relies a lot on the players, particularly on the bowlers, and at times at Lord's it didn't quite work.
"The bowlers couldn't quite sustain what they started. Southee has to improve quickly if New Zealand are going to do better at Headingley."

"The attacking nature of New Zealand's cricket has been criticised on radio and in the newspapers after the first Test. I don't think anybody decries the approach that New Zealand are taking, but they didn't have balance. I don't think New Zealand had that balance - they had as good a chance to win that Test match as England, but they didn't win the big moments."
Pakistan v Zimbabwe
Elsewhere in the world of cricket, there are no weather problems in Pakistan, where Pakistan are preparing to face Zimbabwe in the second one-day international of their three-ODI series. Pakistan, who won the first match by 41 runs, have won the toss and will field first. Play under way in Lahore at 12:00 BST.

On the appointment of Trevor Bayliss as coach from June: "It's fantastic news for English cricket. His track record is outstanding. I've spoken to Eoin Morgan and Brendon McCullum, who knows him from the IPL, and has only good things to say about him.
"It will be different for me having to form a relationship with a guy I don't know, but I have no doubts it will be no problem at all.
"His track record is fantastic. It's great to have that coming in. Once all the talking stops, it will be down to the 11 players on the field, but I'm sure he will have us well prepared."
England runs record on the horizon
And as Aggers points out, there's an approaching milestone for Captain Cook (if and when they get back out on the field) - he's currently on 8,869 Test runs, only 31 behind his mentor Graham Gooch (8,900) who is England's leading run-scorer of all time.
Cook has also reached that figure in five fewer Tests (113) than Gooch (118), averaging 46,67 compared to Gooch's 42.58.
Alastair Cook interview

England captain Alastair Cook spoke to TMS's Jonathan Agnew yesterday. Here's some of what he had to say...
On England's win in the first Test: "It was a brilliant week and turning up here a few days after it you have that glow of a job well done.
"But one of the dangers is becoming over-confident and forgetting all the hard work that went into that match. There were moments when we were behind the eight ball and not playing as well as we would have liked.
"In Test cricket the minute you get ahead of yourself it comes back very quickly. We have to carry that feel good factor through. So many good things stick and the last day will stick in our memory for a long time."
Trevor Bayliss - the lowdown
Michael Vaughan
Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special
"He's an old-school cricket man. He adores the game. He won't use the computers too much. He's very clever in the way he puts together one-day teams, in terms of the roles he gives. In Bayliss, I think England have got a very good cricket man."
Trevor Bayliss - the lowdown
Vic Marks
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special
"Trevor Bayliss may be a great coach, but I looked him up and I played against him. I can't think he must have been a very good player of off-spin - as he was caught Moody bowled Marks 22."
Start delayed - and have your say
