  1. Eng 178-3

    Gorgeous shot from Jos Buttler!

    Full and wide from Lockie Ferguson and Buttler reaches for it to drive superbly through extra cover for four.

  2. Eng 173-3

    Ben StokesPA Media

    Seven from the over and England are just starting to up the ante a little.

    We've got 15 overs left in the innings and the home side will be looking at a 300-plus score from this position.

  3. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    He hit that ball well. Really well timed from Jos Buttler. He got good pace on that.

  4. Eng 171-3

    Short from Tim Southee and Jos Buttler pulls it away for four!

    The England skipper does time this one and finds the gap at deep backward square leg.

  5. Jeremy Coney
    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Butler is an awkward man to get sight of because he is leaning so far to the off side and suddenly the hands are there as well.

  6. Eng 166-3

    Lockie Ferguson rushes Ben Stokes with a back-of-a-length delivery that jumps out of the surface a touch.

    Stokes controls the shot well enough, though, and gets a single through point. One of over four singles in the over.

  7. Eng 162-3

    How on earth has Jos Buttler managed that?

    It's a short ball from Lockie Ferguson, Buttler tries to pull it but it comes off the toe-end of the bat and somehow has the power on it to loop back over the head and out of reach of Ferguson.

    It has been a solid start for England. They are, of course, dominating those early partnerships.

  9. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Fourty balls without a boundary before that one. Four boundaries in 73 balls for this partnership.

  10. Eng 162-3

    Stokes 38, Buttler 37

    Ben Stokes tries to get things moving as he skips down the track to Matt Henry but completely mistimes the shot.

    Instead of it sailing over long-off as he intended, the ball trickles back to the bowler.

    A boundary! Jos Buttler on the pull, not middled but he gets just enough on it to beat the fielder at fine leg!

    Time for drinks.

  11. Eng 155-3

    Another bowling change and more pace as Lockie Ferguson returns.

    He bends his back and bangs the ball into the pitch on a couple of occasions but the outcome is the same, Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler working the ball into the gaps for singles.

  12. Here's the Manhattan from England's innings so far.

    Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler have rebuilt nicely for the hosts but they'll want some big overs between now and the end of the innings.

  13. This is the last boundary that England mustered. Ben Stokes pulling Glenn Phillips for four to end the 26th over...

  14. Eng 150-3

    England reach 150 from the last ball of the 31st over.

    With a single, of course. Every run for the past five overs has been a single.

  15. Eng 147-3

    Glenn Phillips rattles through another over and England continue steadily along.

    It's all pretty sedate stuff at the moment. I fancy that'll change before too long.

  16. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Stokes and Buttler will know England have got power to add with Livingstone next, then Woakes.

  17. Eng 144-3

    Tom Latham will be well aware of the dangerous potential of this partnership so brings back fast bowler Matt Henry to try and break it.

    No joy this time. England still dealing in singles, though. Five of them in this over.

  18. James Anderson
    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    England are still in the rebuilding phase with 22 overs left. They will be wanting Stokes and Butler to extend this partnership. But, a really good example on how to start an innings in a one-day game.

  19. Eng 139-3

    Another over with four singles from it.

    The New Zealand spinners are doing a decent job through these middle overs but while Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler are out there, England will be content enough.

  20. England seem to be biding their time at the moment but Jos Buttler has already given a glimpse of what can happen when he does decide to up it...
