Have your say on England men this summer

  1. Eng 22-2published at 10 overs

    We move to Richie Benaud's favourite score as Ben Duckett takes a couple of runs to mid-wicket off Kyle Jamieson.

    England have scored five runs off the last five overs - they're certainly not trying to swashbuckle their way to their target at present.

  2. Eng 20-2published at 9 overs

    Joe Root can't stop Matt Henry picking up a maiden though.

    For those wondering, it's looking pretty sunny at The Oval now, having been a touch grey earlier.

    Think the selectors need to review the decision to involve Jacob Bethell with such a lack of first-class action - ruining a potential good player by his inclusion.

    Carl, Yorkshire

    It might be an idea for Jacob Bethell to play the occasional first-class match rather than pitching up from limited-overs cricket and trying to be a Test number three batter.

    Martin, West Bridgford

    Methinks the experiment with Jacob 'wunderkind' Bethell is over. Send him back to county cricket for the rest of the season, a Lions winter tour and hopefully he'll fulfill his promise next year.

    Joe Root denies Kyle Jamieson a first maiden in this innings, knocking the ball out to mid-wicket and running a brisk single.

    If you total the time that Joe Root has spent at the crease in his Test career, it comes out to over 25 days

  6. Not outpublished at 7.2 overs

    Eng 19-2

    A pretty poor review that.

    It was indeed a strike way outside the line - a case of New Zealand getting overly keen.

    They drop to two reviews, having lost that one.

  7. New Zealand reviewpublished at 7.2 overs

    Joe Root doesn't play a shot and is struck on the pad by Kyle Jamieson.

    He looks a fair way outside the line, but New Zealand decide to go for their second review of the innings in the hope it nipped back a fair way.

  8. Eng 19-2published at 7 overs

    Ben Duckett faces the remaining three balls of the over without scoring.

    The opener raced to 36 from 25 balls in the first innings and was run out by Emilio Gay, he's on five from 17 today.

    14,000 Test runs for Joe Root!

    He pushes Matt Henry to cover for a single, becoming, after Sachin Tendulkar, the second man to reach that landmark.

    A remarkable achievement.

    Umpire's call on impact with the leg stump.

    Ben Duckett survives and New Zealand retain their review.

  12. New Zealand reviewpublished at 6 overs

    Another wicket for Kyle Jamieson?

    He sends his final ball thudding into Ben Duckett's pads.

    Nothing from the umpire, and it looks like it's heading down, but New Zealand decide to have a pop.

  13. Eng 18-2published at 5.4 overs

    Edged... short again!

    Joe Root clips Kyle Jamieson's delivery, with the ball dropping just short of Tom Latham at second slip.

    Root then whips a single out to mid-wicket to move to 13,999 Test runs.

    After 16 innings, 31% of Jacob Bethell's Test runs came in that one knock at Sydney.

    A perfect start for New Zealand, difficult for England.

  16. Eng 17-2published at 5 overs

    New batter Joe Root is yet to face, with Ben Duckett taking all of Matt Henry's third over.

    The opener pulls the last ball of the over for four - that's his first boundary.

    Now Root, two runs short of 14,000 in Tests, will take on Kyle Jamieson.

    Two in the over! Jacob Bethell goes for a four-ball duck.

    Kyle Jamieson's delivery from round the wicket nips back on the left-hander and traps him plumb in front.

    An excellent delivery - Bethell consults with Ben Duckett, but they're not unwise enough to ask for a review.

    463 is looking very far away...

    Rachin Ravindra has actually held one! A very comfortable catch, it's right at him. Devon Conway's given him a slap on the back.

    Rachin Ravindra holds on!

    Emilio Gay clips Kyle Jamieson's delivery out to the New Zealand fielder, who is positioned at a short-ish mid-wicket.

    He hit that pretty cleanly, but it was straight to Ravindra, who takes the catch after dropping a few chances on this tour.

  20. Eng 13-0published at 3 overs

    A lovely drive from Emilio Gay.

    The opener sends Matt Henry's delivery racing across the Oval turf for four at cover.

    Henry, unlike Jamieson, is bowling over the wicket to the left-handers.
