    De Grandhomme did not really move his feet at all. It was a funny old shot. I wonder if umpire Kettleborough thought he might have got a little edge on it.

  2. England review

    We're going upstairs for an lbw. Root didn't look to convinced.

    A little high? Has De Grandhomme hit it?

  3. Jeremy Coney
    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    The helmet obstructs the full glory of the mullet.

  4. NZ 293-5

    Conway 166, De Grandhomme 0

    Aggers muses whether De Grandhomme's hair hampers his ability to hear his batting partner. I wouldn't know. I definitely couldn't pull it off that's for sure.

  5. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    Sibley almost caught De Grandhomme napping at the far end. There was just a little bit of uncertainty about the running.

  6. NZ 293-5

    Your optimism never ceases to amaze me.

    Colin is a braver man than me with his haircut, I'll give him that.

    It's coming to a full mullet. It looks a little like Edinson Cavani's.

  10. NZ 292-5

    Conway 166, De Grandhomme 0

    So this hair...

    Big CdG has endless curls flowing from the back of his helmet down onto his shoulders. It's like he has a small animal accompanying him at the crease.

  11. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    Colin de Grandhomme is sporting a haircut that is potentially a crime against humanity. There is a lot of it.

  12. And that wicket brings Colin de Grandhomme and his quite incredible mullet to the crease.

  13. Jeremy Coney
    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    That might have just held up a little from the seam. It was a good delivery.

    WICKET

    Watling c Sibley b Wood 1 (NZ 292-5)

    Wood has another! A lovely delivery from the Durham man gets Watling to awkwardly edge the ball to Dom Sibley at second slip.

    Two wickets for England this morning and Wood has both of them.

  15. NZ 292-4

    After the excitement of this wicket, things have settled down again. The sparse Lord's crowd is quiet. Conway isn't tempted as Robinson bowls outside off stump.

    Surely the portrait is former Test giant Ronni Irani.

  17. NZ 292-4

    Conway 165, Watling 1

    Wood is still bowling at 90mph. The last ball of the over beats Watling outside off but the traditional right-hander is completely unflustered.

  19. NZ 291-4

    Andy Zaltzman has just pointed that were Colin de Grandhomme playing for England he'd have the second highest average in the team. In New Zealand's team it's only the eighth best.

    That's what England are up against.

    We're back under way after drinks.

  20. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport at Lord's

    Watling. Then De Grandhomme. Then Santner. Then Jamieson. Tim Southee is at 10. Number 11 Neil Wagner averages 14 with the bat. They call New Zealand the land of the long, white cloud. They should actually call it the land of the long batting line-up.
