  1. Eng 9-0published at 6.3 overs

    Dom Sibley almost gets off a pair but Kane Williamson goes sliding into position at mid-on to keep him on nought.

    Sibley then gets beaten all ends up by a tasty delivery from Tim Southee.

    Jamieson looks the real deal. It is early days but his record so far is exceptional.

    Target 273

    Beauty! Kyle Jamieson beats Rory Burns' outside edge as Burns aims a loose drive and loses his shape.

    Burns shows some fine judgement outside off stump and Jamieson logs another maiden.

    Two famous faces - England footballers Harry Kane and Declan Rice - watched a game of cricket between Hartlepool CC and Rockcliffe Park yesterday.

    Has a celeb, obscure or A-list, ever watched you play cricket? If so, who? Let us know.

  5. Eng 9-0published at 5 overs

    Ooh, actually, that last Jamieson delivery hit Sibley on the elbow, which strikes me as an awful place to get hit.

    A single means Sibley gets to face a bowler other than Jamieson but he still can't snaffle his first run.

    The watermelon salad has done a Rory Burns - present at all times during this Test.

  7. Eng 8-0published at 4 overs

    Dom Sibley has his outside edge rattled by Kyle Jamieson then follows it up with a lifter that raps Sibley's bottom hand.

    Here's the weather...

    Burns 8, Sibley 0

    Shot! Down the ground goes Rory Burns and the ball teases Neil Wagner all the way into the boundary rope. Lovely stuff.

    Jamieson is a terrific bowler. He just has that awkward natural length.

  11. NZ 4-0published at 2 overs

    Jamieson finds the outside of Sibley's bat but soft hands save him, the ball going on the bounce to Ross Taylor at first slip.

    Maiden.

  12. Postpublished at 13:34 British Summer Time 6 June 2021

    Dom Sibley, on a pair, will face Kyle Jamieson.

    Abainash Das: This is the exact reason why a five-day Test match should not be tinkered with as we have a possible contest on our hands despite the massive rain impact.

    Target 273

    If this match doesn't end with Stuart Broad swinging himself off his feet at 6:30pm then I don't know what I'll do.

    Rory Burns gets in a tangle against his final ball from Southee but he gets enough bat on ball to pick up a boundary.

    It is a good declaration. I only give England a little sniff of winning.

    Would New Zealand have done it if Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler were in the team? Probably not.

    Target 273

    Straight from Southee, and Burns jabs his bat down on it.

    It's very brave - but it's also a very tactical decision from New Zealand.

  18. Postpublished at 13:28 British Summer Time 6 June 2021

    Unsurprisingly, Tim Southee will open the bowling.

    Chris Mitchell: Bold, brave declaration from Williamson. Love it. Gonna be a cracking afternoons cricket

    David Merson: Wow! Declaration means 273 to win off 75 overs. Risky or what?

    Fitch: Great stuff from New Zealand making a game of this. If England were in their position they would be batting till tea.

    I love when New Zealand come to England. Never dull.
