    That looked pretty adjacent. Ollie Robinson bowled to the plan and got his man.

    Arms aloft for Ollie Robinson - he's snaffled another! It's another big wicket.

    Taylor lbw Robinson 14 (NZ 114-3)

    Out, out, out! Don't review that, Ross. Ollie Robinson has his second Test wicket, trapping Taylor right in front of the stumps.

    That's Taylor's weakness and it was England's plan. Robinson has delivered perfectly.

  5. NZ 114-2published at 37 overs

    Conway 53, Taylor 14

    Mark Wood is back into the attack and, as he did earlier, Conway seems uncomfortable. Wood hurls the ball down at 93mph and the left-handed opener looks is hopping around like he's been tasered by Ollie Pope at short leg.

    I bowled Allan Lamb through the gate. On a lawn in front of the Russian Museum in St Petersburg. He had been in the bar til 8 o'clock that morning.

    An appeal comes from behind the stumps at the end of Robinson's over but it's unconvincing. Umpire Michael Gough doesn't get a lot wrong and shakes his head.

    Here are some highlights from Conway's fifty...

    Conway has earned that. He has left very nicely and if you do that, you earn the deliveries that will get you the runs.

    Devon Conway has waited a while for his opportunity. What a moment this is for him.

    Shot! What a lovely way to get to fifty on debut at Lord's. Conway drives Broad through extra cover.

    The 29-year-old has batted really nicely.

    He'd didn't mention last summer in the bubble I'm afraid.. Ramps is at Lord's for the Beeb today. Maybe we could get someone to ask him.

    Whilst not a dismissal, I caught Steven Davies one-handed, full stretch above the head on the Oval boundary as part of a sponsor's day. The real highlight, though, was my team-mate Mark Ramrakash running over to acknowledge it was the best catch he'd ever seen. I assume he's still talking about it to this day.

    Ollie Robinson's run-up is somewhere between a trundle and a jog. He's reminds me a little of Australia's Josh Hazlewood but a few mph slower. The duo know each other from Robinson's time in Australian club cricket too.

    The ball is definitely moving around more now than before lunch. Robinson almost cuts Taylor in half with one that jags back.

    Something instantly noticeable about the sparse crowd is the space that is left around the ground. The Nursery Ground would usually be packed with a late-lunch crowd, tucking into picnics and crowding the champagne stand. Today there's hardly anyone there. The grass is off-limits and only a few sit in the stand outside the indoor school. When the wait to be at Test cricket has been so long, few want to miss a moment of action.

    Ollie Robinson is back with the famous Lord's pavilion behind him. He beats Taylor first up.

    Stuart Broad has dismissed Ross Taylor 10 times in Tests. He averages just 18.7 against him.

  17. NZ 102-2published at 33 overs

    Conway 47, Taylor 13

    That basically means you're a World Cup winner, Pete.

    James Bracey has been quietly efficient with his gloves on his debut so far. Like Roger Federer along a baseline he sidesteps to his right to take a ball from Broad which swings away.

    I had Jos Buttler caught and bowled in house matches at school. He then wrote 'that I taught him everything he knows' in my year book. Still holding on to that 13 years later.

    An excellent tweet, in fairness to Davey. Broad continues.
