Summary

Have your say on England men this summer

  1. NZ 41-2published at 12 overs

    Sonny Baker, after a hop, skip and a jump, bustles in.

    Henry Nicholls fiddles with his glove straps before clipping one off his hip for a single to keep the over.

    Incidentally, Baker's idiosyncratic run-up is a byproduct of bowling at nets indoors where he did not have much of a run-up to work with.

    New Zealand have been much more secure so far this innings. They've played 20% false shots - at this point on day one, they were at 27%.

  3. NZ 38-2published at 11 overs

    Henry Nicholls sees off a maiden from Josh Tongue which tightens things up after a fairly expensive over from Matthew Fisher.

    Ben Stokes is back on for his second spell for Durham. Again, he's convinced he's got a wicket after an appeal for a catch down the leg side. He didn't even really turn around to the umpire.

    England have got to be right on it here, they've given themselves an opportunity. Get another one or two here quickly.

  6. NZ 37-2published at 10 overs

    A bouncer from Matthew Fisher but Rachin Ravindra picks up the length quickly and flashes a pull shot through mid-wicket for four.

    Nicely played by the Kiwk.

    James Rew trying what was so effective for New Zealand with the keeper standing up but this went right between his legs.

  8. NZ 33-2published at 9.3 overs

    Joe Root looks a little agitated as he conveys some instructions to a fielder between deliveries of a Matthew Fisher over.

    Not sure what has got Root's goat.

    James Rew has a go at standing up to the stumps at the start of Fisher's over but sees the ball slip through his legs and four byes are conceded.

  9. NZ 28-2published at 9 overs

    Josh Tongue targeting a fourth and fifth stump line to Rachin Ravindra.

    He offers up a wider one with his final delivery but the Kiwi is unable to scythe beyond Jordan Cox at point.

    Tongue is given a generous applause from The Oval crowd as he returns to his fielding position in the deep.

  10. NZ 28-2published at 8.3 overs

    Josh Tongue pins Rachin Ravindra on the pads.

    Just above the knee roll.

    England appeal vociferously, but emotions settle down and Joe Root decides to keep his powder drive with the review.

    Josh Tongue's a fantastic bowler, he makes things happen. It was a loose shot, he lured Devon Conway into that expansive extra cover drive. Pretty good catch from Harry Brook, I've seen him drop a few in that second slip area.

    It's another timely breakthrough for England. We need to be patient, disciplined but with fire.

    That loosening up pays off immediately for Josh Tongue!

    The England seamer lands a tempter in a fifth or sixth stump line and Devon Conway takes the bait.

    Conway attempts to drive expansively but with a smidgen of nip he sends an edge flying to Harry Brook at second slip who pouches it in the bread basket.

    Two on the board for England.

  13. NZ 28-1published at 8 overs

    Matthew Fisher gets one to spit up at Devon Conway and the Kiwi opener, slightly startled, pulls a hand off the bat.

    Fisher drops his final ball shot and Henry Nicholls pulls down to deep square where Jofra Archer dives to cut off the boundary.

    The flags on top of the pavilion are fluttering in the breeze.

    Josh Tongue starting to loosen up his limbs.

    England are looking for an inspirational spell from someone to drag themselves back into the game or just to bowl with great discipline, do what NZ did in that first innings and bowl relentlessly.

  15. NZ 25-1published at 7 overs

    Henry Nicholls is one of those batters - similar to David Warner - who likes to undo and redo the velcro fastens on his batting gloves between balls.

    Devon Conway pinches a single off the third ball of the over with a drop and run into the on side.

    Archer's final ball of the over is full and wide and Nicholls adroitly square drives it for four.

    New Zealand are the kind of team that you look at, they're not going to take the game away from you quickly. England need to keep probing.

  17. NZ 17-1published at 6 overs

    Matthew Fisher strays on to Devon Conway's pads and he flicks it square for three.

    They are the only runs off the over.

  18. NZ 14-1published at 5 overs

    Henry NIcholls picks his moments of when to play, leave and defend Jofra Archer fairly adeptly.

    The Kiwis were pretty good at seeing of the new ball in the first innings. England will need to grab the bull by the horns here.

    40 men have opened the batting at least 20 times in Tests in England. Only one of them (Mike Brearley) has a lower average than Tom Latham's 22.52.

  20. NZ 12-1published at 4 overs

    Matthew Fisher with a wobble seam delivery thuds into the pads of Devon Conway from over the wicket.

    There's an appeal but Joe Root shakes his head in the cordon.

    Jofra Archer had nipped off the field momentarily but is back to bowl his third over.
