I bet they ate a lot! Two big fellas, the food bill must have been through the roof!

Colin de Grandhomme and Dom Sibley used to be flat mates at Warwickshire.

Sam Curran and Ben Stokes are having a brew up on the England balcony, decked out in their training gear.

Pleasingly, Jofra Archer, slated to come in at nine, is the only one in his whites. The money I would give for him to walk out at three...

He's a very angry man, Neil Wagner. I played cricket with him in Otago about eight years ago and he was just very angry.

Dom Sibley leaves a short ball from Neil Wagner and narrowly avoids toe-ending it through to the keeper.

Another leg side clip from Sibley teases the chasing Tom Latham, who does well to knock the ball away from the ropes, and that'll be the 50 partnership up for this pair.

I genuinely think Colin de Grandhomme is great.

I mean, what a hat!

Leggy from Colin de Grandhomme, too leggy, and Rory Burns gets a healthy bit of bat on ball to send it fine for four.

Oh, what's that?! De Grandhomme sends down a wayward delivery that starts wide and ends up going wider. BJ Watling stops it with his boot and De Grandhomme offers up a hand in apology.

He can scream all he likes, he yelped there like he'd been burgled. But it was another lovely shot from Dom Sibley.

It's just been pointed out to Craig McMillan on comms that Neil Wagner has nicked his number - 10 - for the back of his shirt. "Must be for his batting position," is McMillan's response.

Dom Sibley ends an expensive over, in the scheme of things, with another poised, leggy clipped for four.

Neil Wagner won't like that too much. He's very aggressive. There was a little bit of swing there and that helped Dom Sibley put it away.

And Dom Sibley picks up four off Neil Wagner's first ball!

It's not the best delivery he'll ever bowl, starting straight and sliding down the leg side, and for someone like Sibley it is so easy to flick it fine and away to the boundary.

Trent Boult is taking a breather after his opening eight-over spell and Neil Wagner is coming on.

It's so important for young players or new players in a side that they know their role in the side. It's about being confident in your process and I think the fact that Dom Sibley has had such a vote of confidence from the England camp will allow him to bat at his pace.

Dom Sibley reaches double figures off his 45th ball as he takes a Colin de Grandhomme delivery off his hips and tickles it away for an easy single.

I dunno, this feels like a proper Test batting line-up for the first time in a while.

Two patient, actual openers, Joe Root batting at four where he bats best, Ollie Pope at six. I like it.

Lovely ball from Trent Boult. Despite the change in angle it was still straight on the money.
