New Zealand bowler Trent Boult, who took 6-32: "It took me a couple of overs to get into my work but it was nice to find some rhythm. Timmy (Tim Southee) bowled very nicely too and we got the job done but there is still a lot of work to be done.

"I am just trying to swing the ball much as I can and pitch it up and be aggressive."

Asked if his performance was the best of his career, Boult said: "Tough question. There have been spells in the past when I have bowled well and got one or no wickets. Things worked today but there is still a lot to be done."

There will be criticism of England. They are better players than that and you have to ask why they were playing so deep in the crease with crooked bats.

Preparation is part of it and that is not just England. It is a growing trend in world cricket.

Just checking the score on arrival into work? Well, it's been an eventful day.

In the wee small hours of the morning in the UK England were bowled out for just 58 - their sixth lowest total in Test history.

There were five ducks on the England scorecard as Joe Root's side were blown away by Trent Boult in particular who took six wickets.

The pink ball swung but the technique of the England batsmen was horribly exposed.

It actually could have been even worse. England were 27-9 at one point and in danger of record their worst total in Test history before an unbeaten 33 from Craig Overton.

In reply, New Zealand have lost three wickets but their lead is 117 after finishing the day 175-3. Black Caps skipper Kane Williamson has batted supremely and will resume on 91 on day two.

Looking bleak for England.

It's not often you're playing for heavy rain after day one.

Before you foot the bill to the BBC in anger, just take a minute to recognise how well two New Zealand players performed. Trent Boult bowled beautifully and Kane Williamson moved his feet and covered his stumps.

If you're England, go away and look at what they did and try and emulate it.

There will be very different atmospheres in the two dressing rooms tonight I am sure.

England's will be a desperate dressing room because I can't see any way they can get out of this game.

Kane Williamson and Henry Nicholls walk off at Eden Park unbeaten. They will resume tomorrow on 91 and 24 respectively. It could be another long day for England...

A lovely off drive from Henry Nicholls off Craig Overton's second ball brings up the 50 partnership between himself and Kane Williamson. The Somerset man is unable to find the wicket England so desperately needed in the remaining four deliveries.

The Barmy Army are in good voice. I can't see them but I can hear them. I think they are directly below us and they are raising England's spirits just before the final over.

The Barmy Army are on the feet singing. Those with silver hair among their number will be all too familiar with supporting the team following a collapses. Chris Woakes sends down his final six balls of the day without really threatening. One run to Henry Nicholls is all that comes from it. Craig Overton to bowl the final over the day.

Steve Kilner: How is it that Scotland and Afghanistan aren't allowed to play in next year's World Cup and yet England are still allowed to play Test cricket?

The players are to blame and not the management. It's the player who ultimately has to take runs and wickets. It's so easy to blame the manager, a bit like football, but in cricket you get given players to try and mould and you don't buy your squad.

There's a reason why we haven't been successful in recent Test tours and that's because we haven't got the tools on the field. It works very well at home but we struggle with things like bowling with a Kookaburra ball.

A memorable day - for all the wrong reasons if you are an England fan - meandering to a relatively subdued finish. Craig Overton attempts a bouncer with his fourth delivery which Henry Nicholls ducks under. New Zealand's batsmen have shown exactly the discipline, focus and concentration with the bat that has been required.

The players will feel utterly embarrassed by their performance today. Sometimes it just goes horribly wrong and there's nothing you can do about it.

Kane Willamson does not seem in a hurry to reach three figures. Chris Woakes sends down five dot balls before he pinches the strike by steering one right the corner. 18 balls left in the day for England to salvage something.

Kase Mith: Well, thank goodness Stokes is back! No runs and he can’t bowl.

Can Kane Williamson get his century before the close? He is just 11 runs short of three figures. Meanwhile Ben Stokes tests out his back with a superb diving stop after Henry Nicholls picks up the length of a ball from Craig Overton's over and pulls it behind square.

Sean Adams: Brilliant strategy by England to make us all recall the Ashes as being "not that bad really".

Dave Harman: I know you don't become a bad team 'overnight', but the Test team have had a horror in recent months, and still seemingly no further forward in finding a robust top order.

Getting through to the close with their wickets in tact is the order of the day for Henry Nicholls and Kane Williamson now as they see off another low-risk over from Chris Woakes. Nicholls does have a bit of swipe at the Warwickshire man's last ball but fails to make contact. Waokes stands there with his hands on top of his head looking frustrated.

Rob Overfield: Considering that XI are representing a nation where the swinging ball is commonplace, the England team looked more like a team of Aussie rookies! Dire.
