  1. Stumps!

    NZ 361-5

    That's all from us at Stormont after an historic day with Ireland and New Zealand clashing for the first time in Test cricket.

    The Black Caps have the edge but it's still all to play for going into day two.

    That's all from us for now but click here to read Lauren McCann's report on today's action.

    See you again tomorrow.

  2. Black Caps on top after day one

    NZ 361-5

    It started so well for Ireland with Mark Adair taking three wickets and Test debut Liam McCarthy dismissing Kane Williamson to leave the tourists on 4-86.

    But a 217-run partnership between centurions Rachin Ravindra and Tom Blundell turned the game in New Zealand's favour and they are in a healthy position going into day two.

  3. NZ 361-5 - CLOSE OF PLAY

    Dean Foxcroft pushes a Liam McCarthy delivery through mid-wicket for three before Tom Blundell scores the final run of day one.

  4. NZ 357-5

    It's a maiden over for the burly Tom Mayes as we move towards the close of play.

  5. NZ 357-5

    Dean Foxcroft finds the mid-wicket boundary off Liam McCarthy to bring up the 50-run partnership.

    Seven runs come from the over.

  6. Get Involved

    Not sure we'll see any more wickets today. A long day out in the sunny field for the bowlers. It might be worth just keeping the runs down and come out fresh and have another first session like this morning. New Zealand clearly on top but Ireland are still in the game.

  7. NZ 350-5

    Mark Adair keeps it tight with a maiden over but this partnership is now 47 and a wicket just the close would definitely boost Irish spirits.

  8. NZ 350-5

    There's a couple of half-hearted leg-before appeals in a Liam McCarthy over which costs four runs.

    It brings up 350 for the Black Caps.

  9. NZ 346-5

    Six runs come from Mark Adair's latest over as Ireland's search continues for a breakthrough with the new ball.

  10. NZ 340-5

    Liam McCarthy replaces Reuben Wilson and goes for just a single on his bowling return.

  11. NZ 339-5

    Tom Blundell adds four to his tally and a leg-bye makes it five in all from Mark Adair's over.

  12. NZ 333-5

    Dean Foxcroft edges a Reuben Wilson ball through to the third-man boundary and finishes the over with a fine drive down the ground for another four.

  13. NZ 325-5

    A lot more threatening from Mark Adair, who secures his sixth maiden on day one.

  14. NZ 325-5

    Three runs from Reuben Wilson's over and the new ball is yet to produce any magic.

  15. NZ 322-5

    Mark Adair takes a shy at the stumps but there's no-one behind them and the ball flies for four overthrows.

    Four more runs come from the over.

  16. NZ 314-5

    Dean Foxcroft picks up two runs with a nice shot through point and it's four in total from Reuben Wilson's over.

    With 16 overs remaining in the day it looks like we'll take the extra 30 minutes and finish at 19:00.

  17. NZ 310-5

    Ireland take the new ball and it's handed to Mark Adair.

    He smacks one into Dean Foxcroft's pads - there's a loud appeal but it's given not out and there's no review.

    Two from the over.

  18. NZ 308-5

    Another two runs added to the tally from Harry Tector's over.

  19. NZ 306-5

    Andy McBrine's 15th over of the day goes for two runs as the spinner chases a first wicket.

  20. NZ 304-5

    Dean Foxcroft enters the Test arena for the first time and gets off the mark from Harry Tector's final ball of a wicket-taking over.
