Looks like a wafer thin edge has been missed. Bit of luck for us, but a nice steady start

My stream went down but I think NZ didn’t review and missed out on a wicket

14 for 0

burns 10

sibley 4
 
I like the two fours Sibley has timed beautifully through the legside, does not look flustered or a bag of nerves

18 for 0

Burns 10

Sibley 8
 
Lovely cut by Burns to mid wicket boundary off Southee

23 for 0

Burns 15

Sibley 8
 
Sibley looks calm, collected and a presence at the crease to me

The lad looks made for test match opening so far, against a very handy attack
 
First hour up

30 for 0 off 14

Sibley 9

Burns 21

only one scare from a non reviewed very feint edge

it’s remarkably calm and serene so far for England

As above weather in Brisbane for the Australia v Pakistan test looks excellent as well

that’s starts midnight UK time if you are staying up
 
Sibley has faced 42 balls. 2 x 4's a single and 39 dot balls. We'll see how his temperament is now because that might start applying it's own pressure.

Burns seems to be doing well... Hope we can keep this up to lunch

They’ve shown it, how Sibley points his left elbow, down the pitch, just as the bowler cones in

I can’t take my eye off that elbow now

35 for 0
 
I hope they keep feeding Sibley half volleys on leg all day. clips them away lovely

43 for 0

Burns 25

Sibley 18
 
Sibley c Taylor b grandhomme 22. Drive outside off stump well caught by ex Durham Taylor wide, low to his right at first slip

52 for 1

Denly now at the crease

the comms were saying it took to long for NZ to pitch it up outside off stump to Sibley. The lad on debut look assured though imo and I look forward to seeing more of him

it was a superb swinging ball mind from the bowler

Lunch 61 for 1 off 29

Burns 35 off 84

Denly 4 off 27

imo England won the first hour clearly but NZ bowled better as it went on. Good test match cricket and as I’m off to bed I would be happy to see England around 275 to 300 for 5 come the morning
