  1. Tim Southee's back...

    John Petrie: Sibley making a case for Haseeb Hamid to be given a run.

    Mark Burt: Hard to think of more limited player than Sibley. Shot-making wise, he makes Chris Tavare look like Jos Buttler.

  4. Eng 55-1

    Crawley 1, Sibley 19

    A superb bit of fielding from Kane Williamson, sprawling at mid-off, stops Zak Crawley getting off the mark with a four.

  5. Here's the one England wicket to fall today.

  6. Eng 54-1

    Another chase from Dom Sibley! This time he misses and BJ Watling pulls off a good diving stop.

    Wagner finishes off an excellent over by drawing another play and a miss out of Dom Sibley.

  7. Eng 54-1

    Close!

    Dom Sibley chases a Neil Wagner delivery, throwing a drive outside off stump, and he's exceedingly lucky that the outside edge beats a tumbling, one handed Tim Southee and second slip and goes for four.

    To Guy at 14:50, I used to play in the same school team as Rowan Atkinson's son, if there was a chap who got clean bowled whilst trying to leave that would have been me. I can confirm he really didn't enjoy the Mr Bean/Johnny English chat.

  9. Eng 50-1

    Jamieson 9-6-7-0

    Dom Sibley brings up England's 50 with the simplest of clips off the hip, while Zak Crawley, showing better awareness of where his off stump is, gets a thwack on the thigh from Kyle Jamieson.

    Ronnie Wood has watched my dad play cricket a couple of times in the village he lives in. Dad has only been to see Ronnie play guitar once and views this as a victory.

  11. Eng 49-1

    I do think there is a conversation to be had about how limited Dom Sibley' shot-making abilities are. Obviously, you don't want him to go out and try and smash everything around the ground, but I do think he can get better at either rotating the strike and forcing the bowlers to change up their plans.

    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    I know it's difficult out there, but this is an opportunity that England shouldn't completely shun.

  13. Eng 49-1

    Crawley 0, Sibley 14

    Short from Jamieson and quick, and a surprised Dom Sibley cannot resist a flat-footed waft at the ball.

    Another maiden. Pressure building...

  14. Kyle Jamieson is back.

  15. Eng 49-1

    Zak Crawley is welcomed to the crease by an off-stump tempter from Neil Wagner.

    A fine over.

  16. Zak Crawley is the next batter in.

    WICKET

    Burns c Southee b Wagner 25 (Eng 49-1)

    What a good catch!

    Terrific reward for Neil Wagner, who bowls an almost identical delivery to the previous one. Rory Burns chases after it again and gets a thick outside edge, and Tim Southee does incredibly well to get his big frame down low and get both hands under the ball. A brilliant bit of fielding, and Burns' superb Test match comes to an end.

  18. Eng 49-0

    Swing and a miss from Rory Burns, to a similarly swingy delivery from Neil Wagner. That moved away from Burns and he couldn't resist a tickle.

    Last weekend, while opening the batting for Caernarfon, I had to shout to some people to ask them to move from behind the bowler's arm. I had to shout to some bloke in a salmon polo shirt a bit more than the others because he wasn't moving. When I came off for drinks I was told I had been shouting at ex-Newcastle United and Wales player Malcolm Allen.

    Grant, Caernarfon

  20. Eng 49-0

    Target 273

    Faster from Mitchell Santer, rising up into Rory Burns' midriff, and again, England work an easy couple of runs here and there.
