    Rory Burns and Joe Root have looked alright so far but there's a loooong way to go.

  3. Watch: The best of Conway's 200published at 15:54 British Summer Time 3 June 2021

    That session also saw the end of Devon Conway's quite incredible knock. He became the seventh man to score a double hundred in their debut Test.

    He fell agonisingly shot of becoming the first player to carry their bat in their debut innings.

    That delivery from Kyle Jamieson to Dom Sibley was brilliant. I do wonder what Sibley was supposed to do. Still, he has now made five consecutive single-figure scores in Tests.

  5. Postpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 3 June 2021

    Expertly is a stretch but I'll do my best.

    Well... England... Have you really missed them?

  6. Postpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 3 June 2021

    Predictions for the score at the close?

    I'm off for a bit. Matthew Henry will expertly take you through the rest of the day's play.

    England go in for a cuppa without any further damage done.

    Fun session, that.

  9. Eng 25-2published at 10 overs

    This is much better from Jamieson, who has found his line, and Joe Root plays out a watchful maiden.

    That was almost impossible to hit. It moved such a long way.

  11. Eng 25-2published at 9.1 overs

    Oh, beauty from Kyle Jamieson, straightening and sliding past Joe Root's outside edge, who nods his head in recognition.

  12. How's stat?!published at 15:38 British Summer Time 3 June 2021

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    In the winter England's first two wickets averaged 25.6 combined.

    That is the worst England have ever had in any Test season and second worst by any team to have played five Tests in a season.

  13. Eng 25-2published at 9 overs

    Southee slides another delivery past Burns' outside edge before he bangs a short ball over his shoulder.

    The pace bowler ends a very good over with another edge rattler of a delivery.

    Shot! Joe Root settles some nerves with an easy clip through fine leg for four.

  17. Eng 19-2published at 7 overs

    Root 1, Burns 15

    Just the 12 minutes to go until tea, folks...

    So much seems to depend on Root when you look at this side which is devoid of Stokes and Buttler.

  19. Postpublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 3 June 2021

    Here's Joe Root...

    That's a horrible big drive outside off stump.
