    Thanks, Callum.

    Well, it's been a fun start, hasn't it? England started the day needing three quick wickets and Stuart Broad provided two of them, as they opted for the short-ball approach to the tailenders.

    Time for me to go and grab some food too.

    Ffion Wynne will take you through the lunch break.

    Eng 36-1; target 299

    Time for a break. A solid start from England.

    They need another 263 runs from 63 overs. They need to score at 4.18 runs an over.

    Is it on?

    In honour of our guests I will eat 100 kiwi fruit if we win this, and I hate kiwi fruit. Let's get real, it's going to be a draw - err, hopefully.

  5. Eng 35-1published at 8 overs

    Target 299

    Alex Lees and Ollie Pope work singles off Trent Boult. This has been a solid start from England.

    Joe Root is loosening up in the changing room. Can he guide England to a famous victory?

    There will be time for one more over before lunch.

    Win, lose, tie, draw, the undisputed winners of this match are the ground staff at Trent Bridge - what a pitch! Has allowed for over 1000 runs and up to 40 wickets over five days of thrilling Test match cricket!

    Target 299

    Ollie Pope sees out the rest of the over.

    There is probably time for a couple more before lunch.

    What a shot that is. That was like Last Night at the Proms. The conductor getting everyone fired up for 'Land and Hope and Glory.'

  9. Eng 33-1published at 6.3 overs

    Target 299

    Oh my.

    Ollie Pope, what is that?

    There's a flourish of the bat - and the back leg - as he whips Matt Henry to the square leg boundary.

    It got an "oh, my days" from me and a "wow" from my editor. A serious player.

    Shane O'Neill: I'm sorry to say it, but Crawley is not an opener. To score four runs in two innings on a pitch like this is an abject performance. Now he has exposed Pope to the new ball yet again

    Theo: Crawley is starting to become a real frustration... shows more than glimpses and then gets out tamely again.

  11. Eng 29-1published at 6 overs

    Target 299

    Trent Boult hones in on Alex Lees' stumps for the rest of the over and the England opener is solidly in behind.

    Just under 10 minutes until lunch.

    Stood there and played with a vertical bat. A little bit of a punch and bang. This Trent Bridge pitch is so productive for runs.

  13. Eng 29-1published at 5.2 overs

    Target 299

    Trent Boult bangs one in half way down the track and Alex Lees stands tall and punches through the covers for another boundary.

    He's got 29 off 24 balls. Virender Sehwag and Matthew Hayden, eat your heart out.

    Like Sam I also have an A Level Maths exam this afternoon. I am planning on asking the invigilator for the score partway through.

    Sam (different one)

    If it's any consolation to Sam (12:36), I'm invigilating exams all day and also missing out on the action. We feel your pain...though not of the mathematical variety!

    Target 299

    Just a single from Matt Henry's first over with Alex Lees pushing a drive into the covers.

    England are up with the scoring rate at the moment. They need another 274 to win in 67 overs.

    Alex Lees did the damage to Tim Southee's figures...

  17. Postpublished at 12:44 British Summer Time 14 June 2022

    A change for New Zealand.

    Tim Southee - having gone for 17 in his two overs - is replaced by Matt Henry.

    When they were at Yorkshire together, Jason Gillespie called Alex Lees 'Haydos', after Matthew Hayden. Lees is batting like him here.

  19. Eng 24-1published at 4 overs

    Target 299

    Alex Lees work a single through mid-wicket - he's looking to be really positive so far.

    A near-capacity Trent Bridge crowd are roaring and applauding every single run.

    Just a bit full from Boult. A lovely, balanced stroke from Lees. That's three or four boundaries from the drive.
