  1. Drinks - NZ 291-4

    Conway 164, Watling 1

    BJ Watling is going to retire after the Test Championship final which follows this series. He's 35 and may well be the most under-rated cricketer in the world.

    Time for drinks.

  2. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That was an important breakthrough for Mark Wood and for England. He's got a big smile on his face.

  3. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    New Zealand have a long batting line-up. England have made the breakthrough but there's a long way to go...

  4. NZ 290-4

    New batsman BJ Watling tucks Wood off his hip to get off the mark. He scored 205 against England in 2019 so things don't get much easier for the hosts.

    Wood said he felt like he had been hit by a baby rhinoceros waking up this morning. I bet he's feeling better now.

  5. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    That wicket ends a 174-run partnership from 59.3 overs.

  6. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    England needed that. It was a good, fast bouncer and he was always hitting it up. A bit of pace, a bit of bounce, and it's done for him.

    WICKET

    Nicholls c Robinson b Wood 61 (NZ 288-4)

    A wicket! England really needed this. It comes when Mark Wood's pacey bouncer gets a bit big on Henry Nicholls and the left-hander top-edges a catch to Ollie Robinson at fine leg.

    That's Wood's first wicket of the match.

  8. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport at Lord's

    Henry Nicholls had a season in the North East Premier League with Blaydon in 2011. He played in the same team as former England opener Mark Stoneman.

  9. NZ 288-3

    Conway 162, Nicholls 61

    Conway looks like he could bat for a full five days. Robinson runs in again but is timed perfectly back down the ground. He really can bat.

    Craig Overton is currently on the field as a sub and makes a good diving stop at cover. His Somerset team-mates are playing Hampshire today. You can follow all of the county games here.

    Super portrait of Marc Almond from Soft Cell. Didn't realise he played cricket. I guess people Say Hello and then Wave Goodbye as they pass it.

  11. NZ 282-3

    This probably isn't the time to tell you New Zealand's number nine Kyle Jamieson averages 56.

    There's change in the flow of the game with Wood in the attack. A couple of runs and a couple of solid defensive shots.

  12. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport at Lord's

    I'm told that a number of Robinson's Sussex team-mates were in contact with his last night. His mum Sandra and step-dad Paul Farbrace - the former England assistant coach - were here yesterday.

  13. Here's Mark Wood. England really need a wicket.

    Lovely portrait of Mitchell Johnson there.

  15. NZ 280-3

    Conway 156, Nicholls 59

    Conway waves to the dressing room at the end of Ollie Robinson's over and on comes the 12th man with a towel and a fresh pair on gloves. He's in his for the long haul.

  17. NZ 279-3

    These two are just hardly playing a false shot. It has been really impressive and a struggle for England.

    Are you sure it's not Trigger from Only Fools and Horses? Now get that broom and start sweeping.

    Steve in Reading

    What a lovely portrait of ex-England footballer Mark Hateley.

  19. NZ 276-3

    Robinson only has two slips despite the ball being 12 overs old. Maybe Root wanted to get the debutant on early to help him settle but I'd have wanted a look at Wood first while the ball is hard.

    Conway has begun how he ended yesterday as this boundary from a little earlier showed.

  20. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport at Lord's

    Polite applause for Robinson's introduction.
