Jofra Archer decides to drag his length back a touch, but it's easy enough for Ross Taylor to shuffle into line and keep it safely away from his body.

A maiden.

Tom Latham does look good this morning. He looks like a man determined to make up for his low score in the first Test.

New Zealand have got five batsman in the top 20 Test rankings, compared to England's two. You sometimes forget what a good few years players like Tom Latham and Henry Nicholls have had, especially when New Zealand have such limited Test opportunities.

Latham clunks a couple through extra cover in an otherwise quiet over.

Another bowling switcheroo - Sam Curran is coming back on in place of Stuart Broad.

During that successful period we had with England when I was part of the attack with Stuart Broad, James Anderson and Graeme Swann, when we won the toss and put a team in we looked to restrict them to three an over, so 270 maximum at close. That took the focus away from the need to take wickets as the bowling first team.

Ross Taylor whirls an ambitious pull at a Jofra Archer bouncer and Ollie Pope leaps like a salmon to stick a hand up and stop it racing away for byes.

This has been a very, very tidy keeping performance from Pope. You haven't noticed him, which is about as big a compliment as you can give a keeper.

I think when you win the toss people think you have to bowl a side out for 150. That's not the case here. Joe Root and England know that pitches tend to improve in New Zealand so if they can restrict New Zealand to say 320 they are well in this game.

Very good from Tom Latham, dropping the ball into the off side and haring through for a quick single to put the England fielders under pressure.

This is all very serene, things just pottering along until lunch.

Robert Booth: Jofra Archer bowls within himself too often. He has the ability to truly frighten batsmen with rapid hostile bowling but seems to hold back. Why?

Ross Taylor now has 1,000 Test runs against England. He's the seventh New Zealander to reach that landmark.

Short, too short, from Jofra Archer, and Ross Taylor ducks it and allows it to go racing away for four byes.

Archer ends the over with a slower ball that Taylor bunts along the ground to short cover.

Taylor has driven that contemptuously back down the ground.

Oh, hello!

Ross Taylor absolutely larrups Jofra Archer's first ball back down the ground for four! It was a loosener from Archer, sure, but my word.

Jofra Archer's coming back on.

I do normally bring my Watford shirt with me on tour, but for some reason I didn't on this tour. Maybe because we're bottom of the Premier League...

Stop bowling into Tom Latham's pads!

Another easy clip for two goes fizzing off the middle of the opener's bat, and he lets the final delivery of the over go swinging through to Ollie Pope.

It's a good solid start from England, justifying at the moment why they chose to bowl first.

Chris Woakes is in a nice spell here. One thing I do admire about bowlers now, they can just come into a game. He really hasn't bowled at all recently. There's no sign of rustiness or anything like that.
