    Good morning. When Rob Key told us to "buckle up and get ready" for the Ben Stokes-Brendon McCullum ride I still wasn't quite expecting what we saw on day one.

    17 wickets fell on a sunny day at Lord's and the game swung one way and then the other.

    Having bowled New Zealand out for 132, England resume today 116-7, still 16 runs behind.

    Some lower-order scrapping is the first necessity before attention, once again, turns to the bowlers.
