    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Sibley and Burns have seen off Southee. That represents a reasonable start. You can always catch up later. It's on, this game.

  2. Eng 24-0

    Four for Rory Burns, courtesy of soft hands and an angled bat that beats the slip cordon.

    Joe Nyman: Had Jude Law watch my local cricket team as his son was playing with us. He came back from the local coffee shop to tell everyone that people gave him strange looks - wonder why?

    Finally, Jamieson has conceded a run.

  5. Eng 20-0

    Kyle Jamieson concedes four byes with a truly awful wide delivery that Ross Taylor at first slip goes dancing out of the way of as a despairing BJ Watling dives in vain.

    Plenty of swing for Jamieson, who muffles an lbw appeal against Rory Burns as the ball nips in, but he concedes his first run off the final ball of the over with a simple clip off the pads.

    I went to school with David Gowers children and he brought Ian Botham to watch a cricket match at school. After a palatable season I decided today would be when I got my big break and they would help launch my career. Fast forward 5 hours; I got a 12 ball duck, 0-38 off 3 and dropped a dolly. A sliding doors moment perhaps.

    Target 273

    I love Jeremy Coney.

    Dom Sibley has made an absolute state of his lovely cable knit jumper.

    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Sibley went down like some medieval siege machine. They'll have to use ropes to get him up.

  9. Not out

    Eng 15-0

    Dom Sibley had turned for a second, been sent back and had to dive to make his ground.

    He's in, though.

  10. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    I think Sibley got back.

  11. Umpire review

    Oh, has Sibley been run out?!

    I think he's got home in time...

  12. Here's the magnificent mullet of Colin de Grandhomme.

  13. Eng 14-0

    Another maiden for Kyle Jamieson.

    One man who is bad to see the back of the dreaded nought is Dom Sibley.

    Jamie Redknapp came to watch our school cricket goes for a coffee comes back after 3 balls and I'd just sent his son back to the pavilion for a duck.

    Target 273

    Pleasingly sedate so far.

    William Atkinson: It's not directly comparable but Shane Warne did once watch me running around the track during a PE lesson. The Aussies were practicing in my school nets.

  18. Eng 13-0

    Four overs and four maidens for the frankly superb Kyle Jamieson.

    I once had Barry McGuigan watch a match of cricket when i was at school. We were playing one of his sons who went to Wellesly House. Coincidentally, Sam Northeast was also in the line up, I bowled several full tosses at him; each of which were smashed rightly so for 6. He went on to score 100+*. They scored 220-2.

    Sibley 4, Burns 9

    Dom Sibley is off the mark! And with a four to boot!

    Drifting into the legs from Tim Southee and Sibley, with an air of gratefulness, clips him to the square leg boundary.
