Josh Tongue to Blundell, out Bowled!! The off-stump goes for a cartwheel! England are on fire while New Zealand are in dire straits! In the corridor of uncertainty, pitches and nips away perhaps just a bit. Blundell is caught in the crease and plays down the wrong line to get beaten on the outside edge and the ball takes the off-stump out.

@Chrissy
Chrissy, its that Lord‘s pitch with the slope, and the English conditions, especially in early June. There’s always lots of moisture in the air you can actually see the ball changing direction in the air.

William ORourke to Jacob Bethell, no run, dropped by Conway - the second chance he's put down in this Test! Pitched up outside off, Bethell's balance isn't great on the drive, slices it off the edge to backward point and it pops out of the reverse-cup attempt. New Zealand continue to miss crucial chance in this Test

Nathan Smith to Emilio Gay, 2 runs, clipped off the pads behind square and it'll be fifty for Emilio Gay on debut! His teammates are delighted on the balcony and there's a big smile on Gay's face as he waves his bat in their direction. Has looked quite solid and made good adjustments according to the conditions here

@Narper
Narps, I was hoping he would get a debut hundred at Lord’s man. He looked very comfortable and he worked hard for his 50. Damn!!
