Jeremy Coney
Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match SpecialIt looks a pretty placid pitch at the moment.
Root's got himself in and is the key for England.

You can forget what I said about the light not holding. Lord's is bathed in evening sunshine now.
Brendon McCullum is still looking totally unflustered on the balcony.

Christian: Whether England win or lose, I think this has proved again that Stokes and Root are by far and away England's best batters and no one else comes close to their standard

Jamieson's spell is indeed done as Tim Southee returns for his final spell of the day.
Root flicks one out into the deep and then edgily cuts over the slips. It's four. There are cries of "Roooot" although it sounds like many of the Lord's locals need persuading to join in.

Target 277
Joe Root, upon whom so much now rests, is alert enough to spot the opportunity to scramble a bye when Blundell fails to gather down the leg side. It has not been vintage Root today. He hasn't always found the gaps or the middle of his bat.
Crucially, though, he's still there.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorJamieson has bowled seven overs in this spell.
Presumably, that's it from him for now. He's just going off the field.

Theoretically there's still an hour of play left. The light may not hold that long.
Kyle Jamieson, all of a sudden, has 4-51 in this innings. With a chest guard under his long-sleeved England shirt, Foakes defends more probing stuff from the towering New Zealand quick.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialJoe Root's played a bit like he's having middle practise on a Saturday afternoon.
He's just looked so in control. That inner zen that I always talk about.
It's something someone like Ollie Pope should pester him about over dinner,

And you'd hardly score a run if you never played an aggressive shot...

This is Test cricket. What kind of shot was that. You have two days to score just over a 100. Leave it alone!!!

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialIt's a great opportunity for Ben Foakes now. He's trying to establish himself in this team and I guess we're all waiting for that moment with the bat. To get England over the line in a pressure situation.

Ben Stokes was a ball away from getting to drinks. It might have been the last ball of Kyle Jamieson's spell.
Stokes couldn't believe what he had done.
It's over to Ben Foakes now.

Stokes c Blundell b Jamieson 54 (Eng 159-5)
Would you believe it? Just as England were getting on top, just as we started to get excited Ben Stokes falls.
Kyle Jamieson bangs in a bouncer and Stokes tries to lift it over the wicketkeeper. The ball follows the England captain, takes a glove and is snaffled by a jubilant New Zealand wicketkeeper.
A massive and potentially decisive moment in this game.

It's England's first half-century of the match.

He couldn't, could he?
