Have your say on England men this summer

    We're not far away from the start of the afternoon session then as the five-minute bell rings at Lord's.

    It feels like a big one in the context of this fast-moving Test. WinViz already has England are big favourites, another good session and they could almost be out of sight.

    England came back out to bat hoping to turn a 27-run lead into something much more significant.

    Batting conditions remained tough, though, so Ben Duckett was glad of the reprieve when Rachin Ravindra put down a dolly to give him a life on 12.

    Duckett did eventually fall for 33 as he guided a very full ball from Will O'Rourke to gully.

    It was then over to the man of the moment, Ollie Robinson, to wrap things up.

    He knocked over Matt Henry's middle stump to complete his five-for and claim his best Test figures of 5-39 to make it onto the Lord's honours board for the first time...

    Gus Atkinson replaced Josh Tongue and swiftly made a breakthrough, having Will O'Rourke caught at second slip.

    He won't take the headlines but Atkinson ended with figures of 2-9 from five overs. Not a bad innings' work.

    Anyway, while I wait for those fashion tips to come flooding in, let's look back at some of the best moments from the morning session.

    Josh Tongue got England off to the perfect start, bowling Glenn Phillips with his first ball of the morning before getting one to jag back and castle Nathan Smith - the third batter out without playing a shot in this match - soon after...

    Come on, Stephan, the cricket jumper has been a thing for quite some time now.

    But I will admit the cableknit jumper and a baggy cricket cap is a new one on me.

    I'm not going to pretend I've got my finger on the pulse when it comes to the latest fashion trends so do let me know if I'm just behind the times...

    Out in London this morning, I saw fella in a long-sleeve cableknit cricket jumper and an old-fashioned baggy cricket cap. He was walking away from Lord's, so didn't appear to be on the way to the cricket. If he wasn't coming here, does that mean cricket gear is part of his everyday wardrobe? Is that a thing?

    England have got to factor in that the New Zealand top order are not going to get rolled out again, they're going to get a few runs second time round.

    So far, so good for England today then but there is plenty more to be done before this game is anything close to safe.

    Scoring runs remains very tricky in overcast conditions and on a surface that is still providing ample help to the seamers.

    Thanks, Ffion.

    England have worked themselves into a very strong position, leading by 99 with nine wickets in hand.

    Kyle Jamieson gave New Zealand's total a boost with some big-hitting down the order but the home side still claimed a 27-run lead on first innings.

    Ben Duckett and Emilio Gay had to work extremely hard against the new ball but their efforts, with a helping hand from Jacob Bethell - and Rachin Ravindra, mean England are 72-1 at lunch.

    A very normal Test match score after the absurd 55-5s and 29-6s we witnessed yesterday!

    What another fascinating session that was, as England wrapped up New Zealand's innings in good time and then extended their lead healthily.

    It's also time for me to take a break, so Sam Drury is poised to take you through the lunch break and the afternoon session.

    Lead by 99

    Four more! A deliberate edge from Bethell flies for four as he adjusts his hands expertly to play the ball so late.

    But Will O'Rourke responds with another ripper that strikes him nastily on the glove, just giving him a little warning of what's still to come.

    England lost Duckett but have added a handy flurry of runs in the past few overs to take them to lunch in a very promising position.

    Ben Duckett was proactive today, attacking whenever the ball was full enough. He batted at a strike rate of 145 and hit three boundaries off deliveries pitched in the 3–6m length. However, the fullest delivery he faced in this match ultimately brought about his dismissal.

    Lead by 95

    We'll have one more over before lunch.

    Will O'Rourke will bowl it, and his first ball is driven for four by Jacob Bethell. England's lead creeps towards 100.

    That's four catches New Zealand have missed. England only had two chances, but took them - everything else was bowled or lbw.

    Emilio Gay has got an uncomplicated style. Many have likened him to Sir Alastair Cook with his front foot press.

  17. Eng 64-1published at 14 overs

    Emilio Gay punishes a half-volley from Matt Henry, driving fluently for four.

    The New Zealand seamer isn't able to find his usual metronomic rhythm. He does manage to draw the edge later in the over but it bursts through the slip cordon for four, and Daryl Mitchell gestures as if he is struggling to pick up the ball.

    Welcome, Jacob Bethell.

    Ben Duckett just started to look dangerous. He was not fluent to start with but was finding his touch.

    Just before lunch, it's not a nice time for Jacob Bethell to come in.

    Duckett c Phillips b O'Rourke 33 (Eng 52-1)

    Ah, Ben Duckett throws away such a promising start.

    He'd pulled the previous ball from Will O'Rourke to the boundary, and perhaps gets a little carried away. He doesn't move his feet and tries to angle the ball to third man, but instead guides it straight into Glenn Phillips' hands at gully.

    An important strike for New Zealand just before lunch.
