  2. NZ 194-3published at 62 overs

    Conway 112, Nicholls 19

    There's a group of lads sat in the crowd with a 'Boundary Countback' sign, where they're keeping tally of the boundaries each side scores. You know, just in case it becomes important...

    The field is absolutely set for short-pitched bowling. The field has hostility written all over it.

  4. NZ 193-3published at 61.3 overs

    Devon Conway goes for a rollicking pull shot to a Mark Wood short ball and manages to just top edge it over a leaping James Bracey behind the stumps.

    Oh, that's a much better pull shot though, bisecting two fielders on the boundary to race away for four. Woof.

    Devon Conway is the sixth player to score a debut century at Lord's and first New Zealander. He is the third visiting player.

    Henry Nicholls gets in on the act as he strides out of his crease and pushes Ollie Robinson away for four.

    That shot was Dhoni-like.

    What a wonderful shot. A really good way to get to a first Test century. A dismissive flick flamingo style. Conway will remember that for the rest of his life.

    100 for Conwaypublished at 60.2 overs

    A century on Test debut at Lord's!

    A stunning flamingo-flick off the pads from Devon Conway, absolutely nailing the ball, goes flying for four and takes him to an unbelievably good century. He gets a standing ovation from the crowd and the New Zealand players on the balcony. What a moment for him.

  12. NZ 176-3published at 60 overs

    Short, pulled, just a single.

    Devon Conway moves to 98 and keeps the strike to boot.

  13. NZ 175-3published at 59.5 overs

    Henry Nicholls swings a single away, which means Devon Conway has one last ball to face from Mark Wood.

  14. NZ 174-3published at 59.3 overs

    Down the leg side goes Mark Wood and Devon Conway almost swings himself off his feet as he goes after it.

    Wood goes short, Conway chases it, and a top edge lands safely-ish for a single.

  15. Postpublished at 16:34 British Summer Time 2 June 2021

    Devon Conway has nabbed a single off the last ball to move to 96 and keep himself on strike.

    It'll be Mark Wood to bowl at him, though...

  16. NZ 173-3published at 56 overs

    Another whip off the pads from Conway, this time for two, as he presses the accelerator button.

    Tuffers is currently imagining what it would be like to make a centuy. "Well, when I made my 22 in India, I did start to wonder..."

    Conway is speeding his way to a hundred here.

  18. NZ 170-3published at 58.2 overs

    A gentle, deft touch outside off stump adds another four to Devon Conway's tally, and he's into the nineties.

    It looks flat now...

  20. NZ 166-3published at 58 overs

    Four more for Devon Conway as he clips James Anderson off his pads and Zak Crawley rather awkwardly dives over the ball, rather than stopping it. Imagine how thrilled Jimmy looks right now.

    Conway adds to Jimmy's delight with a thudding pull that brings him to 89 not out...
