  1. NZ 17-3published at 8 overs

    Broad 4-2-10-2

    Stuart Broad has dismissed Ross Taylor ten times in 14 Tests. In fact, Taylor averages just 13 against him.

    Broad's been working on his action, trying to get more side on, since he got back from the Ashes. I'd wager he's put on some extra pace, too. A wicket maiden.

    What a start by England, though!

    Henry Nicholls, who made a century in Auckland, has joined Kane Williamson, who also made a century in that Test.

    It was a bit shorter than the Latham dismissal but it was hung out there, inviting the drive. New Zealand are very quickly in trouble.

    Ross Taylor has sliced that straight to first slip. His bat hadn't been coming through straight at all today.

    Taylor c Cook b Broad 2 (NZ 17-3)

    Now then! Ross Taylor falls!

    That fuller length is working wonders for Stuart Broad. He induces Taylor into a drive, just a touch of late movement, and Taylor hoicks the ball to Alastair Cook at first slip.

    Decent catch that, too, Cook getting his hands down low to snaffle the ball.

    Anderson 4-1-7-1

    Kane Williamson scampers a single from the first ball of James Anderson's over, and Ross Taylor blocks and nurdles before working a run to end the over.

    The crowd are singing happy birthday to someone, complete with trumpet accompaniment.

    Jon Hollis: Jimmy Anderson just needs another 274 wickets to become the leading Test wicket taker ever. Or 37 to be the top fast bowler.

  8. NZ 15-2published at 6 overs

    Taylor 1, Williamson 9

    England keep their review, by the way, as it was umpire's call on impact.

    Stuart Broad is bowling at a decent pace here. He's getting the ball a bit fuller, too, and Ross Taylor quietly defends his way through a maiden.

    That's a lovely over from Anderson. It's been an impressive start from him and Broad.

  10. NZ 15-2published at 5 overs

    Ball tracking reckons that delivery was clattering into Kane Williamson's middle stump. But on we go.

    I'll leave the last word to Jimmy Neesham.

    Oh, it's umpire's call on impact. That's desperately close.

    Nope!

    Kane Williamson has got himself outside the line by the tiniest of margins. I was so sure he'd hit that...

    That has missed the inside edge. That's out.

    Wow, I'd be a dreadful umpire.

    He's missed it - and it looks in line with the stumps...

    Did he nick it? That's the question. I think Anderson said it was pad then bat.

    We're going to have a review on an lbw against Kane Williamson.

    I think he's hit this...

    New Zealand's two best batsmen are at the crease.

    Ross Taylor has wandered out to join Kane Williamson.

    James Anderson has beaten him so many times but finally he's nicked one. That's such a poor defensive shot, Jeet Raval did not look convincing at all.

    Raval c Bairstow b Anderson 5 (NZ 14-2)

    Out!

    That's just a really good ball from James Anderson. It's a bit fuller once again and Jeet Raval, playing away from his body, gets the thinnest of nicks through to Jonny Bairstow. Not the best shot he's played, I'd wager.

    It's a shame. New Zealand do not play enough Test cricket.
