We're almost ready to go. Matt Henry and Mark Craig at the crease, Ben Stokes with the ball. Will New Zealand continue to bat positively?

In his "other" persona as Somerset's chairman of cricket, reflecting on Chris Gayle's 92 for Somerset against Essex last night, after Gayle admitted he had not practised since coming to the UK, but instead "done some mental stuff":

"We like our players to do a little 'mental stuff'. There's a probability we would have sent Chris some 'data' on the Essex bowlers and he would have taken it on board! There are a handful of cricketers in the world who can put bums on seats, and I'm looking forward to seeing him at Taunton to see if he can clear those 'massive' boundaries!"

BBC Weather's Louise Lear on TMS: "Could be a lot worse today - it will stay dry, though the cloud will build up and there's potential for some poor light by the end of the day. First thing tomorrow, it's going to be a wet start, so there may be a delayed start, with sunny spells and scattered showers in the afternoon. If you've got tickets for tomorrow, wrap up warm. Monday looks fine and bright."

"There's not really a stock bowler in this attack who can keep control. Ben Stokes was quite economical yesterday, but he's an up-and-at-em fourth seamer, not a holding fourth seamer, and Moeen Ali didn't bowl particularly well yesterday so the balance isn't quite right. Stuart Broad was bowling bouncers from round the wicket with three men out last night, and the Kiwis were still going after the ball. England almost got carried away with the excitement of the day."

England may have taken eight wickets yesterday, but their bowling didn't impress BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew.

"England's problem was bowling too short, not full enough to get maximum assistance from the Headingley pitch," Agnew writes in his BBC Sport column.

"Even if England are committed to playing aggressive cricket, there has to be a time when they can slow the game down, bowl maidens, dry up the runs and they were unable to do that."

"New Zealand are placed OK, but not special. If England had bowled really well and caught their catches, they could have bowled them out for 200. Groundsmen have to produce a pitch which allows people to express themselves, they did it at Lord's and they've done it here."

New Zealand opener Tom Latham on Test Match Special: "To be eight down with nearly 300 on the board, I think we are in a reasonably good position. I think it's pretty even. It is not an easy wicket.

"Towards the end, I struggled a little bit, the lengths they bowled and the lines they bowled, were a lot better after tea. I felt like a cat, there were a few lives there, but that's cricket."

Anderson may have stolen the headlines with his milestone wicket, but Day One belonged to a man with 103 fewer Test caps: New Zealand wicket-keeper Luke Ronchi. At 34, he's had to wait longer than most for his Test debut, but boy did he make the most of it.

The former Australian international played a brilliantly refreshing innings of 88 off just 70 balls, mixing superb timing with outrageous panache.

He was eventually dismissed twelve runs short of what would have probably been the fastest ever century on Test debut, with Shikhar Dhawan's mark of 85 balls firmly in his sights.

Michael Vaughan
Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

"It was exciting cricket yesterday - in the six days of the series so far, you've got two teams playing with an aggressive nature, especially New Zealand and their captain. After a nought in the second innings, he comes out and hits his first ball for six. England didn't bowl well - if you keep hitting off stump at Leeds, something will happen. That's the sort of line and length you require at Headingley."

"Much more pleasant in Leeds today. Cool, but no imminent threat of rain. Plenty buzz around the city centre, looking for a way to get to the cricket. No fancy dress spotted yet, but Headingley will be like a zoo. I promise it will be lively."

England pace bowler James Anderson on Test Match Special, reflecting on his 400th Test wicket: "I think it makes you think about all the hard yards you put in over the years, makes all that hard work seem worthwhile. To be among guys I looked up to and watched as a kid, in and around those great players is a bit surreal, but great at the same time."

Jimmy Anderson is ticking off landmarks like a tourist on a moped at the moment. In the West Indies, we saw him overtake Ian Botham to become England's all-time leading wicket-taker, then yesterday, he knocked over Martin Guptill for Test wicket number 400.

That brought him high praise from most quarters, but not from his colleague Stuart Broad, who rather uncharitably tweeted:, external "He's talking me through his 400th Test pole. Wobble seam I think, he's says 'effort ball.'"

After one of those frustratingly stop-start, rain-affected days yesterday, I'm sure you're all anxious to know what the weather gods have got in store for us today.

Well, it's good news, with the forecast accurately described by my colleague Mark Mitchener as "not quite scorchio but not far off".

Sunshine is the order of the day so, fingers crossed, we should see a full day's play today.

"I've just spoken to the great Dickie Bird, who knows everything about Headingley, and he said there's a lot of runs out there. There's a little bit of green grass left on the pitch, but it's dry."

Hello and welcome to live text commentary of day two of the second Test between England and New Zealand at Headingley.

As we mentioned, honours are fairly even after day one, with New Zealand closing on 297-8.

We will resume with Mark Craig and Matt Henry at the crease for the tourists, Stuart Broad chasing a five-for, and England looking to get batting as soon as possible.
