Graeme Swann
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

"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."

Gurdeep Singh: With a turban and a surname like mine, I'm called Harbhajan when in India and Monty when in England. #turbanator

Manoj Nardani: In India, being a British Asian wearing the India ODI top, I got randomly asked for an autograph by a local youngster.

Jack: In Barbados I got mistaken for Jimmy. As a Yorkshireman I found this so insulting I nearly didn't accept the rum he offered!

If you're just joining us, England have won the toss and elected to field. Play under way at 13:30 BST after rain washed out the morning session.

"At the World Cup, the night Ireland were knocked out, a lady walked up to me and asked me for my autograph. I asked her why she wanted it, to which the reply was 'aren't you Ed Joyce?' I assured I was not and pointed her in the direction of the real Ed Joyce. 'I've already given it to her,' he said. So who did she think he was in the first place?"

To be fair to Stephan, he is a better lookalike for ex-Hampshire keeper Michael Bates., external

Graham Clinton: I share my name with a former cricketer,, external but the coincidences continue. We were both involved with Surrey, both left-handed and both coached at the same club in Kent and we both do so for a living now. I regularly get contacted by famous cricketers trying to reconnect with my namesake, the conversations rarely continue when I own up as to my true identity.

Ben in Windsor: Not a county cricketer but my dad is named Steve Sutton and my twin brother and I always used to tell our primary school friends he was the Nottingham Forest goalkeeper from the 1980s/90s. A teachers v dads football match was arranged, my dad went in goal and duly saved a penalty, all but confirming the subterfuge.

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., external

So he may be from Northumberland, but remember, he's a Womble.

Tim Phillips: My Twitter account had lots of Essex CCC & TOWIE followers thanks to having the same name as Essex bowler Tim Phillips.

Allen: I once told a Lancastrian girl on a night out in Hampshire that my mate was Shaun Udal. I know Shaggy and they look nothing like each other, other than a similar hairstyle at the time. Despite being a cricket fan, she had heard of Shaun but didn't know what he looked like, so the evening was a success. With a wedding, a honeymoon following England on tour in New Zealand and a couple of kids, you could say the rest was history. I never found out at what point he confessed to not being a county cricketer.

"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?"

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, external 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.

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."

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."

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 the toss and field first. A day for it to swing around corners at Headingley?

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."

Paul Hallett: I've been to Sri Lanka and India quite a few times and my name always makes the locals think I am a famous cricketer: Paul Allott.

Alan Stevens: Got an upgrade with Etihad once as was mistaken for Matt Prior.

The toss will take place at 13:00 BST, with play starting at 13:30.

Covers are now off, and is is the modern trend, there appear to be dozens and dozens of people on the outfield. England are now going through fielding drills in their tracksuits.

On England's new coach Trevor Bayliss: "You would never know when you look at Trevor whether his team are winning or losing. He's an old-fashioned coach. He loves fielding, and a lot of his teams are built around being brilliant fielding teams. He's a very good man-manager, he doesn't say a great deal but when he does it really counts."

Farbrace worked as Bayliss's assistant when Bayliss was coach of Sri Lanka.

Mike Cullen: On ringing for a travel insurance quote I spoke to a delightful gentleman in India who misheard and asked if I was Brendon McCullum. Unfortunately I had to deny it but we then spent a very pleasant 30 minutes discussing cricket in general.

Richard Surridge, Southsea: When attempting to spell my surname, people will often say 'like the cricket bats' or naturally assume I am related to Stuart Surridge, which I am not. Perhaps our lineage once converged though, must look into that... and the resulting royalties! Sharing a surname with him does make it easier when in the market for personalised sports equipment.

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.
