Right, it's time for me to leave you and hand over to Mark Mitchener for the evening session...

More praise for Anderson from fellow England seamers:

Steven Finn: Yes Jimmy!! Amazing achievement. #Jimmy400

Chris Woakes: What a bowler! @jimmy9 #400club.

Yorkshire royalty in the TMS box, as Lords Taverners president Sir Michael Parkinson joins us.

Zimbabwe have made 268-7 from their 50 overs in the second one-day international against Pakistan in Lahore. Sikandar Raza top scored with 100 not out, bringing up his century with two balls of the innings left. He fared better than Chamu Chibhabha, who was caught behind for 99.

"Essex have been marketing tonight's T20 Blast game against Somerset by saying 'Chris Gayle's coming to the County Ground - which of our bowlers will be hit the furthest?' which is an interesting way of putting it. Gayle has been in the country for about a week, but he's been staying up in London and will be meeting his team-mates later."

England won toss

Full scorecard

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...

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."

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.

Laura in York: Mistaken for Joe Root (I'm a girl!) - I often book taxis or restaurant tables under the names of cricketers just to spice up life. Once I booked a taxi under the name of Johanna Root and the taxi driver said "oh you're the one who did well in the cricket for Yorkshire today aren't you? Good on you, a lass playing with blokes". Keeping a straight face for the rest of the journey was challenging!

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.

Chris Andrews: I was at Headingley for an England v Windies game and I vividly remember one of the ground's catering staff trying to convince me he was Curtly Ambrose. I was only about 10 at the time but I suggested to him that if he was who he said he was, he would probably be on the pitch rather than pushing a serving trolley through the car park. He wasn't bothered by this and kept insisting he was the great Windies bowler. Bless him.

Michael Prior, Surrey: My brother Matt and I went to a Surrey v Sussex T20 match at the Oval where Matt Prior was fielding on the boundary near us. So my brother ran down and pretended to sound like a stalker by asking if he could have his shirt and that he changed his name to be like him. He didn't get the shirt.

McCullum is denied another four in his plundering innings when a perfect straight drive off the returning Wood is blocked by the stumps at the other end. His next ball is misfielded by the sub fielder and runs away down the ground for two.

"McCullum has forced the field back - a sweeper on each side, the men in the ring now so deep as to be not saving one. He's only got 27, where do England go if he bats for more than an hour or two?"

Bryan Waddle
BBC Test Match Special

"Brendon McCullum is using a new bat, which he showed me yesterday. The blade is the thickest I've ever seen, though I can't even pick my daughter's bat up, let alone McCullum's."

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...

Good news: the weather is looking brighter this afternoon at Headingley. And spectators might even be able to eat their dinner al fresco tonight...

John Quinn: A good friend of mine always used to reckon I looked like Angus Fraser, possibly due to a slightly hangdog expression. He now lives in Australia and in 1999 we went to see England versus a Bradman XI in Bowral, and a young boy came up to me and said he thought I was Angus Fraser. To this day I'm not sure whether he was put up to it by my mate. At some later point I bought one of Angus Fraser's old Middlesex one-day shirts in an auction and posed for a photo wearing it. My mate didn't realise it was his real shirt and thought I'd Photoshopped it.

McCullum brings up the New Zealand 100 with a thick outside edge that races away to the third-man boundary.

John Kendall, South Wales: My father often told of how he was mistaken for the great Yorkshire and England cricketer Hedley Verity at Headingley in 1939 when the ground was being used for some sort of military training. My dad survived the war, sadly Verity didn't. He was killed in action in Italy in 1943.

Will Donovan: My girlfriend's name is Kirsten Peter, she occasionally gets tweets meant for ex-South Africa batsman Peter Kirsten., external She's not much of a cricket fan and she doesn't let me reply in character!
