    It hasn't been a morning of extravagant movement or pace. It's been the sort of thing you'd expect from Hamilton.

  2. NZ 84-2

    Props to Ross Taylor, who instantly told Tom Latham to review that and picked that it was outside the line.

    Taylor was shaking his head as soon as Chris Woakes went up in the appeal! A future as an umpire awaits for him.

    It's a rare blemish by umpire Dharmasena.

  4. Not out

    Oh, it's pitched outside leg!

    We would all make rubbish umpires. It's overturned. Tom Latham survives!

  5. Jonathan Agnew

    It's a question of where it pitched? Is it too high? Did it do enough?

  6. Not as high as I thought, actually.

    It's whacked Latham on the knee in front of the stumps...

  7. A bit high, maybe?

    It's not a no-ball.

  8. New Zealand review

    Hello!

    Tom Latham falls lbw to Chris Woakes' first ball! He sends it upstairs straight away...

  9. Chris Woakes is coming on just before lunch.

    Ben Stokes, anyone?

    We'll see how Ollie Pope gets on here standing up. He's looked very tidy so far.

  12. NZ 84-2

    I'll say one thing for Joe Root, he gets through his over quickly. No messing about.

    His final ball is a short gift, though, and Ros Taylor furiously carves it away for four. Lovely batting.

  13. Amazing.

    Joe Root is coming on to bowl. Before lunch. Having chosen to bowl. Because there's no frontline spinner.

    YES.

    Not sure what Archer is bringing to the party here he is supposed to be our X factor bowler with extra pace and bite at the moment he is doing a poor impression of a big standard English type bowler.

    I'm not sure it's one of those days or pitches when you say we'll definitely bowl first. But once you pick five seamers I suppose you have to bowl first.

    I've not seen many Seddon Park pitches look as dry as this. I don't think it'll spin loads but it may go up and down towards the end of the game, we'll have to wait and see, this is all speculation. The groundsman has flooded it in the last couple of days because he's worried about how dry it is.

  16. NZ 78-2

    A beauty from Jofra Archer, finding a bit of shape back in to the batsman, and Ross Taylor prods and misses outside his off stump.

    Taylor scrambles a single off the final ball of the over to keep things crawling along.

    Not really. Although I am happy we've got Kane Williamson out. You've got to be at least three or four down at lunch.

  18. Jeremy Coney
    Ex-New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Would you be happy with 77-2 at lunch?

  19. NZ 77-2

    Sam Curran decides he likes this back-of-a-length approach and he's promptly pulled through square for a divine four by Tom Latham.

    This ball is doing nothing, you know, and Curran's not quite putting it in the right places. A leggy delivery is easily helped on its way to the boundary by Latham.

  20. Jonathan Agnew

    I don't think Joe Root has worked out how to best use Jofra Archer at all yet.
