Have your say on England men this summer

  1. NZ 325-7published at 81.5 overs

    Ouch, Kyle Jamieson is hit on the helmet for the second time this morning, taking Sonny Baker's delivery right in the grille.

    We'll have another concussion check and helmet change.

    Jamieson is 6'8, so these deliveries are getting up a fair bit.

    We sensed New Zealand were going to come out and play some shots. Sonny Baker does give you that chance.

  3. NZ 324-7published at 81 overs

    Nicely placed.

    Glenn Phillips moves into the sixties, firing Josh Tongue's delivery along the grass to the mid-wicket ropes.

    Tongue responds by beating the bat.

    New Zealand are going at exactly four an over.

    All these byes are particularly harsh on James Rew, impossible to reach so many of them. A fairly fine leg would probably have saved England 30 runs in this innings.

    England never learn - this pathetic short-ball policy is only going to end one way, with a lot of easy runs for New Zealand.

    Robin, Coventry

    Has no one ever taught English bowlers how to bowl yorkers? This short-pitched stuff is just giving easy runs away.

    New ball - NZ 318-7published at 80 overs

    Four more immediately as Glenn Phillips gets in on the action, pulling his 11th four between two fielders behind square.

    Sonny Baker finishes with two dot balls, but that's still 13 runs off the over and 27 in total in three overs this morning.

    England are going to take the new ball immediately, with Josh Tongue continuing.

    This is a scruffy start to day two. Jamieson is just whacking away and they're flying everywhere.

    How's he dropped that?

    Jamieson dropped on 15published at 79.3 overs

    Four, four, dropped.

    This is a sloppy start from England.

    Kyle Jamieson flails through covers off Sonny Baker's opening ball, another short one, then takes a big heave and edges over the keeper.

    The following delivery is lumped out to mid-wicket where Ben Duckett looks set... but puts it down.

    New Zealand take a single - deary me.

    Glenn Phillips has been hit (on the helmet, body, or glove) five times in this innings, the most for any innings in his Test career.

    The second bye in Tongue's over made it a half century for extras - the 16th England have conceded in Test cricket.

  11. NZ 305-7published at 79 overs

    Kyle Jamieson is good to go again.

    He takes a single to mid-wicket to retain the strike.

    I know the second new ball is coming, and it's not the fault of Baker or Tongue, but this looks a puzzling plan from England.

    It appeared to be a regulation catch but it's hit Jamieson on the head.

    A really strange passage of play, England were celebrating the catch.

    Glenn Phillips has been battered and bruised.

  15. NZ 304-7published at 78.5 overs

    A bit wild from Josh Tongue.

    He lands his first ball on Glenn Phillips' midriff, then sends one flying over the batter's head.

    James Rew can only get a glove on it and deep third does good work on the ropes to stop another byes boundary, with the New Zealand batters running a single.

    His penultimate delivery is a no ball that careers off Kyle Jamieson's helmet - we'll have a break for that to be changed.

  16. NZ 300-7published at 78 overs

    Three dot balls on a fuller length, then Glenn Phillips knocks Sonny Baker's final ball behind square to retain the strike and bring up New Zealand's 300.

    It'll be Josh Tongue at the other end.

    And four more - that's the half century for Glenn Phillips.

    Another short ball, Phillips swats at it and top edges over wicketkeeper James Rew.

    The landmark comes off 76 balls - he scored 35 of those off his first 24 balls, then slowed under the evening barrage from Jofra Archer.

    Eight runs off the first two balls of the day, a nice little settler for New Zealand.

  18. NZ 295-7published at 77.1 overs

    Four runs straight away.

    Sonny Baker fires a bouncer down the leg side for byes.

    We had quite a lot of that yesterday.

  19. Postpublished at 10:59 BST 18 June

    Off we go then.

    Sonny Baker is going to take the first over for England - we've got three overs until a new ball, after a pretty slovenly over rate yesterday.

    The debutant took 2-59 yesterday from 15 overs yesterday.

    Glenn Phillips, on 49 overnight, will face, with Kyle Jamieson at the non-striker's end on six.

    Glenn Phillips resumes this morning on 49, having survived a barrage of bouncers from Jofra Archer yesterday evening.

    He has struggled against the short ball in white ball cricket, but has done well in Tests - he averages 50 against it in this form of the game.
