    I'd be amazed if Jimmy didn't get quite a lot of swing with this pink ball under the lights.

    Trail by 325

    Tom Latham and Devon Conway are New Zealand's openers.

    Two good players.

  3. Postpublished at 07:05 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2023

    Play will go on until 08:30 GMT here so England have plenty of time under the lights with a brand new ball.

    These are the conditions you hope for in these day-night matches.

    Jimmy Anderson already has the ball in hand, primed and ready to go.

    Zak Crawley getting dropped, bowled off a no-ball and caught in his 14 balls, Ben Duckett threatening to hit a century in the first session, Joe Root getting out caught slip reverse scooping, Harry Brook bashing 89 and an attacking declaration.

    We've had all of the hits this morning.

    Just waking up in the UK? England have been Bazballing again - for better and worse - in the first Test in New Zealand.

    They have declared on 325-9 from just 58.2 overs in Mount Maunganui but it could have been even better.

    Zak Crawley went early for four but Ben Duckett scored a superb 84 from 68 balls before falling late in the first session.

    England continued to attack on a flat pitch, sometimes to their downfall.

    Joe Root was caught at slip playing his reverse scoop off the seamer for 14 and captain Ben Stokes smacked a pull straight to mid-wicket for 19.

    Harry Brook made a magnificent 89 from 81 balls as he and Ben Foakes put on 89 for the sixth wicket.

    However, both were dismissed by Neil Wagner in the evening session as New Zealand used the short ball to good effect to fight back.

    Wagner ended with 4-82 before Stokes called England in when the ninth wicket went down, giving his seamers a chance to charge in under the lights.

    As soon as Harry Brook got out it was a very clear message. You feel England are a little bit light with 325 but they are definitely in the game.

    They have three world-class, new-ball bowlers who will bowl better than New Zealand did.

    325-9 in 58.2 overs.

    It has been another crazy, crazy day.

  9. Declaration - Eng 325-9published at 58.2 overs

    ENGLAND HAVE DECLARED!

    In isolation declaring nine down is not that surprising but I'd be interested to know how far out England planned this.

    They fancy letting James Anderson and Stuart Broad charge in under the lights.

    Leach c Latham b Wagner 1 (Eng 325-9)

    Another one goes heaving a bouncer. Neil Wagner has four wickets.

    And...

  11. Eng 325-8published at 58 overs

    England, as is their way these days, are batting like a white-ball match so New Zealand have decided to bowl like it too.

    Scott Kuggelijn, their energetic debutant seamer, tries a slower ball which almost beats Robinson.

    The next is easy paced and Robinson just thumps it back over the bowler's head.

  12. Eng 321-8published at 57 overs

    Robinson 11, Leach 1

    Jack Leach has joined Ollie Robinson in the middle.

    It is fully dark now and the rain doesn't seem to be as big a threat.

    Even if England bat for another 30 minutes they'd still have an hour at New Zealand tonight.

    There is a plan for England here, they're going after everything. Clubbing the ball, looking to flay it to all parts but it is bringing about their downfall, which suggests they're not at all worried about bowling tonight.

  14. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 56.2 overs

    Foakes c Williamson b Wagner 38 (Eng 319-8)

    It's like cricket at 200mph. Ben Foakes tries to whack another bouncer but can only chip a catch to mid-off.

    England are going to get bowled out but do they care?

  15. Eng 319-7published at 56.1 overs

    Ben Foakes now moves into baseball-mode.

    The field is spread but there's no-one down at long-on.

  16. Eng 315-7published at 56 overs

    How about that!

    Ollie Robinson biffs one short ball for four and then guides the next for another boundary over the slips.

    The plan is clear from both sides. New Zealand are going to bowl bouncers and England are going to attack.

  17. Eng 305-7published at 55.3 overs

    Ollie Robinson has wandered out under the floodlights to face the pink ball.

    If you take out the day-night element, England are short of par on a flat pitch.

    But they may also want a bowl tonight...

    Initially, I don't think Devon Conway picked it up in the deep. He was almost tracking backwards but in the end he makes sure that Stuart Broad's innings is a brief one.

  19. wicket

    Broad c Conway b Kuggelijn 2 (Eng 304-7)

    Well that was very, very predictable.

    Stuart Broad top edges a pull and is caught at deep square leg.

    His stay is brief.

    Stuart Broad is going after everything. They promise entertainment, don't they?
