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."

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."

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."

Well, that is extraordinary - Brendon McCullum, who was out first ball in his last innings, hits his first ball of this one over the rope at cover for six! It was wide from Broad and McCullum got a big piece of it. Strap yourselves in, we could be in for quite the half-hour here.

Brendon McCullum strides to the crease, in a signal that New Zealand aren't ready to retreat into their shell just yet. Mark Wood, who hasn't found his rhythm at all, loses his length again and is cut away for four by Latham.

"All he did was ball the bowl in the corridor - nothing else. His loosener was too short but every New Zealand will be worried about a little bit of seam movement now - it'll be in the back of their heads. Broad's not really a swing bowlers, but he's a nice height."

"Taylor made it easy for bowler and umpire there."

Oh Ross Taylor, what have you done? Just as New Zealand were regaining the initiative, Taylor perishes in disastrous fashion - leaving an in-ducker from Broad and watching in horror as it cannons into his pad. The finger goes up, and Taylor doesn't even contemplate a review. Dear oh dear.

A more accurate over from Wood forces Taylor to play out a watchful maiden.

Mark Stevens: If two cricketers have taken about the same number of test wickets, the chronologically earlier always did it in fewer games.

Chris Butcher: Surely the all time test bowling list is a misnomer. Not all those bowlers were legal bowlers.

The runs are flowing now for New Zealand - Taylor punches Anderson to the cover boundary and then collects four more with a slightly less convincing stroke, thick-edging one through gully.

Tim Street: One of my cricketing teammates is the spitting image of Matt Prior. 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).

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.

"Reasons why Headingley is better than Lord's. 1. There's not a tie in sight. 2. No champagne corks popping. 3. You can stand in front of the sightscreen when the bowling is from the other end. 4. Brett's chip shop. 5. The Western Terrace."

Will Totty: At the cashpoint outside Tesco at the Oval in 2012, wearing old England replica shirts. Some kids asked me and a mate if we played for England. My mate told them he was Tim Bresnan and asked if they wanted an autograph. They declined.

Will Strauss: My brother and I openly discussed the brilliance of 'Cousin Andy' at Headingley, Old Trafford, Trent Bridge et al while Andrew Strauss was in the England team. Many believed us. More fool them. Not sure sure we'll be trying it now he's a 'suit'.
