England without loss after an hour. Go put the kettle on.

Dom Sibley and Rory Burns have done a really good job this morning, it hasn't been easy, and I think it'll get easier as the day goes on.

In the first 15 overs of their batting in this series, England have left 35% of the balls, with dot balls up at 84%. But they have a very high ball per wicket %, one every 21.3 overs, which is one of their highest in recent years.

Matt Henry continues for now and Rory Burns pushes a drive through the covers for two.

And that's that in terms of runs for the over.

Kane Williamson, pads on, supportive bandage on his left elbow, has just wandered in front of the Hollies Stand right at the moment a chap in 118 fancy dress was downing his pint.

A decent maiden over from Neil Wagner.

Remember when England made 132-1 in 27 overs by lunch on day one of the Edgbaston Test during the 2005 Ashes?

This is the opposite. Not saying that's necessarily a bad thing - I wouldn't back Burns and Sibley to tee off like Trescothick and Strauss.

It definitely feels like a bat-first wicket. It doesn't look like there's any green grass on the wicket, there isn't much movement off the pitch, and it is just the clouds that are giving New Zealand a chance.

It is just whether England, with four pace bowlers, should have bowled first? It is a gamble on this pitch, but the weather is meant to be good for the rest of the Test.

Steady accumulation from England continues.

Dom Sibley clips Neil Wagner's first delivery away for a single.

Rory Burns lets a few wide-ish ones glide by before defending as Wagner brings the ball in closer to the stumps.

Oooshk. A spicy delivery last up that has Burns hopping as it zips past his outside edge.

Change of bowling for the tourists.

Neil Wagner enters the fray...

Burns clips to square leg for two.

Jam Barrell: "Building towards the Ashes" and not playing a spinner on one of the hottest weekends of the year is a huge contradiction for me. We haven't a cat in hells chance of winning down under without a confident Leach holding an end up when the others tire

Runs! Three of them!

Dom Sibley punches it through mid-on, Neil Wagner gives chase and does well to pull it back before the rope.

The top order have to do the hard yards, and then Ollie Pope can get in during the bowlers third and fourth spells. If that happens there are runs to be had, but have to earn the right to get them.

Trent Boult unleashes a big, swinging yorker but Rory Burns spots it early and digs it out.

A big shout for lbw follows but that's high. Tom Latham not interested in a review at all.

A wide delivery that Burns can easily leave alone to finish.

Another maiden - Virender Sehwag, this is not.

It has been a good start for England, but this is a day you want as a batsman. It is swinging, but there are no demons in this pitch.

If you're one of England's top order you'll be thinking this is your day if you get in.

It's been a while, but it's all so familiar. Latecomers studying tickets as they search for seats, others tucking into cool boxes as big as submarines. Fancy dress. Queues for the bar. The Test match hum. Wonderful.

Sibley nibbles at a Henry outswinger that beats the outside edge.

Eeek. He then leaves a sharp inswinger that zips over the top of the stumps.

Another maiden. Dot to dot to dot to dot...

Given that list, a load of maidens this morning is probably no surprise.
