    New Zealand's top four have been dismissed in both innings, with no one getting past 15.

    It's only the second time England have managed to do that against the opposition.

    The other was in 1888 against Australia at the SCG.

  2. NZ 58-4published at 24 overs

    Just the two singles off Matthew Potts' next over, that also includes two textbook drives that go straight to a fielder. Two great shots for none.

    New Zealand lead by 49. How long is this Test lasting then?

    That partnership lasted 9.3 overs - New Zealand's longest partnership of the match.

  5. NZ 57-4published at 23 overs

    It's nearly two! Daryl Mitchell looks to fend one off his hips and very nearly gloves it through to Ben Foakes.

    After a brief interlude this match has that chaotic feel to it again.

    Huge wicket for England. We know Devon Conway can really occupy the crease. It's a strangle down the leg side and well pouched by Foakes.

    Stuart Broad makes things happen out of nothing.

    Conway looking to pull Broad and he gets something on it. He cannot believe it and the wickets continue to fall.

    How's your luck, Stuart Broad?

    Devon Conway looks to the heavens as he gets an attempted pull all wrong and can only feather it through to Foakes.

  10. NZ 56-3published at 22 overs

    Great shot - brilliant fielding.

    Matthew Potts bangs one in short, Daryl Mitchell pulls and it looks four all the way. But Stuart Broad goes for the two-handed dive at deep square to prevent the boundary.

    That woke the crowd up.

    It doesn't feel like this pitch has that many demons right now.

    You'd think there's an opportunity here for New Zealand.

  12. NZ 52-3published at 21 overs

    Back-to-back overs from Stuart Broad, though this latest one not particularly threatening.

    Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell look like they are ready to dig in.

    The stats for the two morning sessions so far combined:

    46.5 overs. 102 runs. 12 wickets.

  14. NZ 52-3published at 20 overs

    Brendon McCullum is looking relaxed on the England balcony, think it takes a lot for him to get flustered.

    Just the one run off Matthew Potts' next over, though his final delivery does keep a bit low - a sign of some even bounce?

    It just feels perfect for batting this afternoon. Probably more so than any other time of the game.

  16. NZ 51-3published at 19 overs

    NZ lead by 42

    Tight stuff from Stuart Broad results in a maiden as the sun begins to beam down on Lord's. That early, rather gloomy looking cloud has burnt away and is replaced by blue sky.

    A good afternoon for batting...

    If I was a betting man I would not be backing England to chase down 150 plus either.

    Surely we're going to see one of the New Zealand players get a 50? If someone gets a 50, England will be looking at a chase of at least 150 plus.

  19. NZ 51-3published at 18.1 overs

    Ooh, that's a beauty from Stuart Broad as he gets one to whistle past the outside edge of Daryl Mitchell.

    Millimetres away.

  20. NZ 51-3published at 18 overs

    Matthew Potts resumes at the other end - he is 2-11 from four overs so far. This over has ruined his figures a bit though.

    Daryl Mitchell guides one down to third man for four, before a drive down the ground results in a three to bring up the New Zealand fifty.
