Trent Boult is at Lord's! The cameras have just shown him heading off for some practice, big grin on his face.
Tim Southee bowls a metronomic maiden over.

Ese: The worst possible start!
Pete Stones: New Zealand are Roothless.
Jamieson 11-5-29-2
Ollie Pope is the next batter for England and he lets a very zippy inswinger go pinging through to BJ Watling, who takes the ball at head height.
A wicket maiden first up for New Zealand. What a start!
Phil Tufnell
Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special
Not a good start for the dressing room. Skip's gone - they start fretting.
It was a great delivery from Kyle Jamieson, too, just moving away from Joe Root as he fiddled outside off stump.
Nothing quite like watching it rain for an entire day and then getting out to the first ball you face, I imagine.

That has all happened very quickly. This does give an opening for New Zealand.
Jeremy Coney
Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special
The fingers were right underneath the ball.
Root c Taylor b Jamieson 42 (Eng 111-3)
What a brilliant start for New Zealand!
A great catch from Ross Taylor, who got both hands under the ball at first slip, and Joe Root is marching off before the decision has been confirmed.

Root walked off - and he had the best view of the whole lot.
I mean, Joe Root was half walking off...
Lovely ball, kissing the outside edge, going towards Ross Taylor...

It has taken a long time for Nelson to strike - but he has done it.
GONE! First ball of the day, Joe Root edges behind!
The umpires are checking the catch...
Joe Root will face the first ball of the day...
Here come the players.
I think it'll be Kyle Jamieson to start for the Black Caps. I've got distracted by Colin de Grandhomme's hair again.

The fielding team are ready to go - I like to see this.
On a completely unrelated note, a friend of mine sent me this yesterday and I cannot stop thinking about it.
My main question is: how did it escape?!

The overs lost on Friday means they can play later on each of the final two days, so 98 overs instead of 90.
Here are the session times...
I'll hold off on the #SevenNorthernTests campaign after seeing this forecast...
