  1. Eng 280-7

    A man wearing a deflated horse is chinning a pint while Mark Wood makes his case to open the batting in T20 cricket.

  2. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Mark Wood hit 16 off his first 62 balls, before five fours in nine balls.

  3. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    These are all proper shots. It is not slogging.

  4. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport at Edgbaston

    Mark Wood appears to have woken up as AB de Villiers.

  5. Eng 280-7

    I mean this is silly. Ridiculous. Ludicrous.

    Mark Wood has just played a late glance for four that Joe Root would be proud of.

    In fact, Wood might want to teach Root how to play that shot better.

    In every sense of the word - SCENES.

    Mark Poole: Mark Wood is doing to NZ what we allow so many tailenders do to us!!

  7. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That is a proper shot! He's picked up so well - it is a glorious shot.

  8. Eng 276-7

    Mark Wood for number three?

    A belting pull shot now for four.

    Tom Watson: Dan Lawrence just needs to stay in here to support Mark Wood.

  10. Eng 272-7

    England scramble a leg bye to end the over and keep the rollicking Mark Wood on strike.

  11. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    These are more than useful runs for England.

    Mark Wood will be absolutely loving this. He might even bring out the pantomime horse at this rate.

  12. Eng 271-7

    It turns out England did select Jos Buttler for this Test but managed to dress him up in the most convincing Mark Wood outfit imaginable.

    A delicious cut shot for four.

  13. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    He'll be telling everyone about that, for a long, long time!

  14. Eng 267-7

    Trent Boult tests Mark Wood out with a bouncer and he hooks away for a four that almost carries for six.

    I'm already looking forward to his next BBC Sport column when he talks about this innings.

  15. Is anyone in real life called Norville?

    On the Scooby names theme. Shaggy's real name is Norville Rogers.

  17. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    This is Mark Wood's second longest innings in Test cricket.

    He's had 32 innings and he batted 95 balls against Pakistan in Dubai in 2015.

  18. Eng 263-7

    Matt Henry's first over of the day is a tidy maiden to Dan Lawrence.

  19. I say there was a roar from 18,000 inside Edgbaston but there are still plenty of people in the queues to get in.

    You've missed Mark Wood spanking a cover drive for four! How can you live with yer sen?

    Adrian Kesby: Ian Bell eat your heart out! Mark Wood just smoked a beautiful extra cover drive right out of the Duke’s coaching manual.
