  1. It seems you can. Fingers crossed the technology issues are behind me.

    It's good to be back, isn't it?

  2. Matt to world: Can anybody hear me?

  3. I dismissed an England cricketer

    Text 81111

    I dismissed Robert Key in a net with a horrendous bit of loopy slow non-spinning bowling. He tried to smash it and missed altogether. Proud moment.

    Luke Crosby, Medway

  4. Sorry, Matt has decided now is a great time to break his laptop. He'll be along shortly...

  5. A properly entertaining morning's cricket. New Zealand just slightly ahead, you'd say, but Ollie Robinson and Mark Wood bowled terrifically.

    I'm off to not eat some Lord's-standard food. Matthew Henry will keep you company through to tea.

  7. Get Involved

    Simon Poole: England are hardly short of top pace bowlers, but you've got to ask why it's taken so long for Ollie Robinson, with those stats and such clear skills, to get his first cap. Reminds me of Angus Fraser but with an extra yard or two of pace.

  8. Lunch - NZ 85-1

    Conway 43, Williamson 13

    Test cricket, I have missed you so very, very much.

  9. NZ 85-1

    Mark Wood bends his back and Kane Williamson leaves everything well alone.

    One last ball...

  10. This will be the last over before lunch, and it'll be Mark Wood to bowl it.

  11. I dismissed a future England cricketer

    #bbccricket

    Annie Chave: I dismissed Charlotte Edwards when she was 14. She was caught on the boundary!

  12. NZ 85-1

    Dangerous times for Devon Conway as he smashed on the pad, but the faintest of inside edges saves him from a full-blooded Jimmy Anderson appeal.

  13. Then came Ollie Robinson with a wicket on his England debut.

  14. It started well for New Zealand...

  15. NZ 85-1

    Kane Williamson gets away with a hoick at Mark Wood, the ball taking enough bat to go flying through the gully and into the boundary rope with a couple of bounces.

    Williamson, wisely, leaves a 95mph delivery from Wood alone.

  16. Get Involved

    Text 81111

    Thankfully Ollie Robinson was a spin bowler back at school and didn't find his feet as a fast bowler until later. Net sessions would have been miserable.

    Rory, Kent

  17. I'll be having toast and marmite for lunch. The players, on the other hand...

  18. NZ 81-1

    James Anderson returns and sends his second delivery zipping past the outside edge of Kane Williamson's bat.

    A little too full from Anderson, though, and Williamson works him off his toes for an easy three runs.

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

    This is an important last 15 minutes of the session. If England could end with three wickets they would say it was a good finish.

  20. How's stat?!
