  1. NZ 96-2published at 32 overs

    Conway 46, Taylor 12

    Rory Burns looks to be hiding an interesting haircut under his England cap. He sprawls to his left to prevent Conway getting any more than a single.

    With Taylor now on strike, Anderson looks disgruntled when he swishes and misses outside off. Jimmy then boots the hallowed Lord's turf when a leg-stump half-volley is put away a ball later.

    Re 13:37. Cool story, Big Jonno. Needs more dragons, though.

    That was a full-blooded drive and it had no business dropping short of Zak Crawley, which it did. And he couldn't get any closer.

  4. NZ 92-2published at 31 overs

    My girlfriend's sister served Young in a pub a few weeks back during his stint at Durham. A tenuous link I know but apparently he was lovely.

    Broad isn't getting much luck here. Conway edges short of third slip.

    On the subject of Will Young (the cricketer, not the singer), exactly three years ago to the day he was sharing a second-wicket stand of 273 with James Bracey for Bristol against Bath in the West of England Premier League. Bracey made 160, Young 116. Here's the scorecard., external

    Conway 45, Taylor 4

    Anderson breezes in looking like as good as ever bowling a maiden to Conway. It's hard to believe he turns 39 next month.

    Anderson has a great record against Williamson. He has now dismissed him seven times - more than any other bowler.

    Here's how James Anderson dismissed Kane Williamson a couple of overs ago...

    I think England had a little rethink at lunch. They recognised there's not much to help them in the pitch so they have to use all their vast experience and keep plugging away.

    That was an ugly, ungainly, walking waft from Ross Taylor.

  11. NZ 91-2published at 29 overs

    Conway 45, Taylor 4

    Broad's hands are on his head now after a extraordinarily good delivery to Taylor. It moved away and narrowly missed edge and off stump. Jimmy Anderson smiles in approval of his mate's skill at mid-off.

    Taylor plays and misses twice more to end the over. Brilliant from Broad.

    Broad went for a semi-celebrappeal there. He shouldn't refer it, it's going way down the leg side.

  13. NZ 91-2published at 28.1 overs

    Stuart Broad hits Ross Taylor on the pad. Broad actually turns around to appeal which means it's almost certainly not out.

    Since the start of 2016 in first-class cricket, Devon Conway is averaging 72, with 10 hundred and a strike rate of 57.

  15. NZ 91-2published at 28 overs

    Devon Conway's inclusion today was at the expense of opener Will Young among others. It looks like a good decision for New Zealand but a bad one for fans of noughties music-related puns.

    I dismissed an England cricketerpublished at 13:54 British Summer Time 2 June 2021

    Text 81111

    I bowled Chris Cowdrey middle and off with one of my non-spinning spinners in an evening six-a-side game. He looked at the sun and swung at the moon as he played across the line. Tucked his bat and said " well bowled sir". Kent and England captain as well.

    Conway 44, Taylor 3

    Ross Taylor is New Zealand's second 'key' batsman with his Test average of 45.84. It feels like he's been around for an eternity.

    Yusuf: No appetite for runs today from Kane Williamson. Must have filled up on that Lord's lunch!

    The headband-less Stuart Broad begins his second spell of the day.
