Boult veers too straight and Cook is able to flick it down to the vacant fine-leg boundary for four. England continue to make progress towards that significant 300-run lead.

Stephan Shemilt
BBC Sport at Lord's"Slightly subdued at Lord's now, as if we've had our excitement for the day. In essence, the Test is now set, it just depends if New Zealand can quickly bowl England out or the home side carry on to a declaration tomorrow. Then, the final drama begins."

Phil Tufnell
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special"I don't think they'll declare now. It's a brave new world until Martin Guptill gets 150 and Brendon McCullum gets 200! This is the beauty of the game."
Eng 415-6 (England lead by 281)published at 18:17 British Summer Time 24 May 2015
Cook shows that when the ball is there to be hit he will have a go. He slightly miscues off Craig, though, with an outside edge that brings him three.

Ian Bentley: Only chance to win is to be bowled out as Cook is too cautious to make a challenging declaration.

Stuart Mitchell: A 350+ lead and I'm getting confident of an England win. Pitch is starting to turn a bit and can't see Ali doing as badly as Craig.
Eng 410-6 (Cook 140, Moeen 13)published at 18:14 British Summer Time 24 May 2015
Cook is now 54 runs away from passing Graham Gooch's record 8,900 Test runs for England. He is almost denied the chance of reaching that tally today courtesy of a Boult ball that wobbles in the air, pitches on a length and sways past both outside edge and stumps. A beauty. There is still life in this.

Jack Byrne: Next 20 overs will show how positive Cook is trying to be, are we trying to win this or just bat New Zealand out of the game?
Eng 409-6 (Cook 139, Moeen 13)published at 18:11 British Summer Time 24 May 2015
Moeen moves into double figures with a chip through mid-off that draws unfulfilled calls for a catch and then a boundary through mid-on from a Craig full-toss.

Mark Higginson: Cook has created the conditions for Root and Stokes to play their shots. Great player.
DrHolmes: Moeen Ali walking in at 6 down, is a delightful sight. Promising future ahead for English cricket!

England's run-scoring is considerably more modest than an hour ago. Understandable. This lead is far from decisive. Henry continues to pepper Moeen with some short stuff, one of which is so wild it brings England a wide.

Andrew Strauss is laying down the law to a colleague in one of the boxes at HQ. Meanwhile, on the pitch, England continue to boss matters. Moeen goes aerial with a daring lofted drive to claim four off Craig over extra cover. It brings up England's 400. Craig slams the next ball into Moeen's pad but despite a big appeal, it was clearly hitting outside the line.

Henry is a personable young man, he's beaming away like a young Hugh Grant. But a debut at Lord's with your team in with a good chance is not a bad place to be. He may have brought his hundred up in terms of runs conceded but he is still probing outside Cook's off-stump. Remarkable resilience from the England skipper though, he collects another single and remains undefeated.

Andrew Samson
BBC Test Match Special statistician"Tom Latham, standing in for BJ Watling, I reckon that's the first time a stand-in wicketkeeper has taken five dismissals in a Test match."
Eng 394-6 (lead by 260)published at 17:54 British Summer Time 24 May 2015
Craig plugging away from the Pavilion End. Moeen gets off the mark by lofting him down the ground, plenty of height on it but it only goes for two. We have a possible 15 overs left today and so far the rain has not returned.

Luke Bailey: Cook benefiting from no ODIs. Broad, Anderson and possibly Bell should think about going down the same route.
Jon Dunn: Not sure I understand the logic of Buttler coming in ahead of Ali in this situation.
Eng 391-6 (Cook 135, Moeen 0)published at 17:51 British Summer Time 24 May 2015
It is starting to look a bit gloomy again, but the stands remain full. This is too gripping. Cook pulls a short Henry ball to the mid-wicket boundary for a single. Moeen has to deal with a forward short leg and has to dodge out of the way of a bit of a snorter that rises past his nose.

Philip Pugh: An England win is still the least likely result but is more probable than when Bell was out this morning.

Stuart Broad is supping on an energy drink in the changing room. I suppose that stuff does give you the runs. Not the kind Broady is after, though. Craig keeps England to a single run. Moeen yet to score.
