"What a lovely catch by Craig. He made that look easy. Moeen's got to be tight here, because the ball is swinging."

"A classic right-arm swing bowler's dismissal. Full enough, Southee drew the drive off the front foot, and the ball moved away at the last moment."

Boult's partner-in-crime Tim Southee makes an immediate impact, as an outswinger is prodded by Ian Bell to Mark Craig at second slip without adding to his overnight score.

Stuart Mitchell: Re: Dave in Sunbury (11:13), you only gain experience by playing in Test matches, Lyth has been given the chance stick with him.

Tom Audsley: Pipe down Dave in Sunbury. It's not his fault, he should have had three tests in the Caribean under his belt too.

Boult, bowling lively left-arm over, slants the ball in towards Buttler's pads, but pushes one too far towards leg stump and Buttler helps it away for four leg byes, the only blemish on a maiden over. Still plenty of seats yet to be taken.

"These are awkward times for the batsmen. There's still plenty of shine on the new ball, and a nice hard seam. Boult has got the perfect conditions for bowling too."

"This is a big session for both teams. England will not necessarily relish batting in these gloomy conditions."

"Those three wickets late in the day stopped England getting away from New Zealand and building a very large first-innings lead. That possibility has gone."

Talking of anthems, "Jerusalem" is being belted out around Headingley, so we're nearly ready to start. New Zealand's fielders, all sporting "proper" cable knit sweaters, are in a huddle just inside the boundary.

It's a calm team talk from captain Brendon McCullum, rather than a Curtly Ambrose-style "fire and brimstone" speech - while umpire Rod Tucker looks like he wants the Yorkies to put another shilling in the electric meter and turn the floodlights on.

"We're hearing that for the first Ashes Test in Cardiff, there will be so much going on beforehand that they may have to bring the toss forward, though that's not confirmed. There will be three national anthems, for a start - the Welsh, English and Australian, and I think they're hoping for the Red Arrows too."

Dave in Sunbury: Albeit Lyth got a century against a moderate NZ bowling attack one can't help but think Australia will be a different proposition. Too inexperienced for the Ashes.

"I agree with Vic Marks - the allocation of Test matches in England shouldn't come down to who generates the most cash, it should be which grounds provide the best pitches. If grounds produce poor pitches consistently, they should go down the pecking order."

We're about 10 minutes from the start, the Headingley groundstaff are making their final preparations, with a tractor being driven at high speed around the outfield ("a Formula 1 tractor", notes Aggers) with an attached rope brushing off the rain.

New Zealand spinner Mark Craig speaking to TMS last night: "I thought the boys bowled really well, and picking up those two wickets at the end there was really crucial. It was nice to be able to do a job for the boys today, to be able to hold up an end and let the other boys rotate. I was nowhere near at my best at Lord's, but to be able to bounce back and be a little bit more consistent was pleasing. I didn't do anything different, just relaxed a bit. I think we're set nicely, we get two cracks with the new ball so first thing in the morning will be crucial. The boys are pretty happy."

Dougie Gillies: What a start to the Test match summer, NZ really came to play and have done England a favour in their prep for the Ashes.

Michael Vaughan

"Two or three years ago, New Zealand were at their lowest ebb. McCullum said, 'We're good at one-day cricket, why don't we try and play that way in Test cricket?' and it's got them to a level where they can compete against the best teams. These seven days have shown that Test match cricket is very much alive if it's played in the right style."

"What was all the fuss about? Rain? A trifling 15-minute delay. On arriving at the ground, you'd know nothing was amiss. The players were out warming up, England in the nets that are erected each morning on the western side of the square. Joe Root bowling to Alastair Cook, beating the skipper with a ripping off break."
