    Nice shape from Boult straight away but Cook lines him up and gets in behind well.

    Cook then gets off the mark with a push through the covers for one.

    Alastair Cook is at the crease and taking guard.

    It will be Trent Boult to the former England skipper first up.

    Here we go...

    Our lunchtime guest today is the great Sir RIchard Hadlee - he'll be on at 01:30 BST, but we'll podcast it if you can't stay up.

    He's a local man - the pavilion here is named after four members of his family.

    Andrew Lawton: I fear that's a big opportunity gone for England. Desperately need a 50+ opening partnership to ease the nerves.

    Karl Barrett: This winter has proved Joe Root isn't the man to lead England.

    Alastair Cook and Mark Stoneman face a tough test to get through to lunch unscathed.

    Trent Boult and Tim Southee will look to make the new ball sing.

    This is the first time in over 100 years - 1912 was the last time - that the four opening bowlers have taken the first 20 wickets in a Test, and just the third time in history

    There's a nasty little spell of just over ten minutes for the England openers to negotiate. We've seen the potency of the new ball.

    Stuart Broad finishes with figures of 6-69, while James Anderson ends with 4-76.

    That means that Broad, Anderson, Trent Boult and Tim Southee have taken all 20 wickets to fall in this match so far.

    Broad gets his wicket - finally - with a short ball. It nearly had enough on it to go for six, but not quite.

    It's very bright and Dawid Malan put his hands up to try and shield his eyes from the sun. The ball swerved a little bit, too, but he caught it.

    Boult c Malan b Broad 16 (NZ 278 all out)

    You've got to laugh. After leaking runs with some brainless short balls, England wrap up the New Zealand innings with, you guessed it, a short ball.

    Trent Boult miscues a pull shot and Dawid Malan steadies himself at fine leg, quickly shields his eyes from the sun to pick up the ball and complete a solid catch.

    So the hosts are finally bowled out for 278 - a deficit of 29 runs.

    It should have been a bigger lead for England but they didn't get their tactics right. Huge credit to Neil Wagner and Boult for coming out swinging in an entertaining last wicket partnership.

    Jeremy Roberts: Lack of ability to wrap up an innings is a sure sign of an England side in turmoil. This is where you need a strong captain who can direct the bowlers to not do stupid stuff. Bowl straight, make them play and keep it simple.

    In that over it felt as though the stumps were more of an ornament, rather than a target for the bowlers.

    Yet another short ball and Boult chips it just over the retreating Broad in the covers for one.

    This short-ball approach is bordering on farcical from England.

    No bat or glove on it from Trent Boult and on we go.

    It was not a vehement appeal by any means.

  19. England reviewpublished at 92.3 overs

    Trent Boult backs away to leg and Mark Wood chases him, with the Kiwi missing as he tries to flick it away.

    Or has he hit it? England make a half-hearted appeal for caught behind.

    Oh, Joe Root is going to review it. Seems a bit desperate.

    Charlie Wetton: In answer to Jeremy Coney (90 overs) - this missed opportunity was at 36-5. How we have allowed them to within 50 is symbolic of a team that is simply not playing well enough to win Test matches.
