Keep them to this run rate and nick a couple of wickets in the final session it’s a decent days work. I like New Zealand though, they are a very competitive unit.
I will have to watch highlights tonight..
100 for Conway on debut.......... fair play to him.
I like NZ as a side they are tough competitors but always look as if they are enjoying themselves........probably a reflection on the way Kane Williamson captains the side.

Little bit of progress this morning courtesy of Wood, who can be frighteningly fast.
New Zealand bat all the way to 11 though. De Grandhomme, in at number seven, has the eighth highest test average in the team - if he played for England it would be second highest.
Although a duck won’t have done his average much good. Turning into a good morning for England, 7 down, good chance of keeping the total below 400 which is pretty good on this pitch by the looks of it.

That shot from Crawley was a ****ing disgrace.
Sibley wants a slot in Wisden for most ducks for a Test opener.

That's a surprising stat about De Grandhomme, I've never really thought very much of him as an all-rounder. More of a Derek Pringle than an Ian Botham.
More and more variable bounce on this pitch now. England will need a first innings lead and we don't look like getting one at the moment.
