    I'd like to see New Zealand attack here. Get out there, play some shots and try and put some pressure on England.

  3. Right then, the teams are ready. Shoaib Bashir is stretching out his arms and shoulders as England gather in a huddle, which seems somewhat optimistic, while Conway and Blundell bump fists and make their way to the middle.

    Unsurprisingly, WinViz has England as firm favourites at the start of the day.

  4. Despite yesterday's rain delays, Ollie Robinson still managed to find time to continue his fine return to Test cricket.

    Rachin Ravindra was bowled for eight, and Daryl Mitchell was pinned lbw for a duck.

    Devon Conway and Tom Blundell will be at the crease when play gets going shortly.

    I reckon conditions are just about perfect for England this morning.

    Cloudy overhead and gloomy enough that lights may soon be on. Add in this lively, shall we say, Lord's pitch and the seamers will be licking their lips.

    Crucially, of course, it is also dry so Ollie Robinson and co should actually have the chance to exploit these conditions.

  6. First things first, the weather...

  7. Good morning!

    Let's try again, shall we? A frustrating day of rain yesterday means that this game has somewhat miraculously gone to day four, and England are five wickets away from opening their Test summer with victory.

    For New Zealand, their requirement is a slightly trickier 199 runs.
