    Burns 77, Robinson 36

    More cheers! Two boundaries to Ollie Robinson, one off the front foot and another off the back.

    England were 140-6 when the debutant came in. Crucial, crucial runs.

    Trail by 196

    A little cheer went around Lord's when England reached that landmark. It has been that kind of day. There hasn't been anything else to celebrate.

    Burns almost succumbs to Santner in unfortunate fashion, the ball almost dribbling onto his stumps via his boot.

    A rather unconvincing two means England have avoided the follow-on.

    ENGLAND HAVE AVOIDED THE FOLLOW-ON.

  5. Eng 178-6published at 77 overs

    Burns 76, Robinson 24

    Yelps from New Zealand and a friendly stare from Wagner as Burns plays and misses at the end of the over.

    There's three overs until the new ball. I'm surprised England look like they are going to get there.

    Tremendous. Just tremendous.

    Need 2 runs to avoid follow-on

    Our Kent-supporting member of the cricket desk points out Darren Stevens has another five-wicket haul. He's having a remarkable, remarkable season.

    Rory Burns eyes up a big sweep to Santner and misses. BJ Watling whips off the bails but the opener is safe.

    BBC Sport at Lord's

    I've just walked past the Lord's wine bar. Some bottles are coming in at £88. That would represent one of my most significant purchases of the year.

    Trail by 203

    I'm trying to think of other cricketers who would make a good head boy. Chris Woakes. obviously. Mushfiqur Rahim as a more obscure shout? I'm a big fan of his.

    Just the leg bye in that over.

    These could be very important overs for Mitchell Santner. You feel when Trent Boult comes back into the side, it'll be he or Colin de Grandhomme who will make way.

  12. Eng 174-6published at 74 overs

    Time for the spin of Mitchell Santner as New Zealand zip through their second string. Santner is 29 now but still looks as fresh-faced as when he began. He looks like he'd have made a good Head Boy.

    Ollie Robinson has shaped up nicely with the bat...

    Trail by 204

    Priceless/worthless. You choose.

    Burns, with that familiar owl-like twist in his neck, defends his 221st delivery comfortably as another Wagner over ends.

    I've got a Fifa video game cover that was custom made for Phil Neville featuring him and Messi, two copies were made and he signed the spare for me. Surely priceless?

    Need five more to avoid the follow-on

    De Grandhomme does beat Burns' bat in this over in fairness.

    The England opener continues to show more application than the rest of his team-mates combined by blocking the next few and then nabbing a single.

    The longer this goes on, the more baffled I am by the De Grandhomme experiment.

    Trail by 206

    Neil Wagner, the least effective of New Zealand's seamers so far in this match, runs in from the Pavilion End.

    The sun continues to shine today but there is a suggestion the gloom may return tomorrow. To me, that makes it even more important England avoid this follow-on mark. Seven runs to go on that front.

    If the first over of the day set the tone for the first session, does that set the tone for the afternoon?

  20. Eng 171-6published at 13:43 British Summer Time 5 June 2021

    Burns 73, Robinson 22

    Another slap from Robinson brings a couple more runs. As overs this morning go, that was a sensational one for England. Six balls, seven runs, no alarms. Remarkable.
