    It was a bit of a loose shot, tired shot. New Zealand were perhaps thinking they need to dominate here. What a start for England, getting that early breakthrough.

  2. wicket

    WICKET

    Latham c Brook b Atkinson 0 (NZ 0-1)

    That, on the other hand, is a shocker.

    It's very full and very wide, and for some reason Tom Latham has a big swish and edges to Harry Brook at second slip.

    Seems like this pitch has got into Latham's head because there's no way an opener should be playing at that.

  3. NZ 0-0

    A beauty!

    Gus Atkinson squares Tom Latham up and he plays and misses, there's half an appeal but it clipped his pad rather than the bat.

    He would have no complaints if he got out to that, though.

  4. Gus Atkinson with the new ball.

    254 the target.

    Game on.

    It's nicely poised, England with their noses in front but you just never know. If New Zealand get away to a good start, the tension creeps into the bowlers. If it doesn't quite go your way, things can get tense. You get the feeling if England get three out tonight then they'll be confident in winning this match.

    It's been a cracker, it's been entertaining. There hasn't been much of it but what we've seen has been good!

  6. How important will that partnership of 57 between Gus Atkinson and Jamie Smith prove to be?

    Smith gets Smith for a well made 39

  7. Sam Drury
    BBC Sport at Lord's

    There are still 28 overs to bowl tonight so we could have a pretty good idea which way this one is going by the close of play.

    England will back themselves to defend 254 on a pitch doing as much as this but a couple of decent partnerships for New Zealand and they won't be far off.

    That went miles in the air. I would not have liked to be under that!

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Robinson c Phillips b Smith 29 (Eng 226)

    Now then.

    A heroic bowling performance from Nathan Smith sees him finish with six wickets as Ollie Robinson tries to push things on with just Shoaib Bashir left for company.

    He slogs high up in the air, and Glenn Phillips makes no mistake.

    After all that chaos, New Zealand need 254 to win.

    England all out!

    Will O'Rourke has really found some movement from that end, he's been terrific. You would not want to face him.

  11. Not out

    Eng 226-9

    It is so not out that Will O'Rourke has walked off, changed his bowling spikes, and Nathan Smith is already in place to bowl the next over.

  12. NZ review

    New Zealand have had a stinking time with reviews today.

    They've gone for another against Shoaib Bashir which looks too high on this occasion.

  13. Ashwanth R Kavuluri
    CricViz analyst

    Nathan Smith's 5-70 in this 150th Test at Lord's marked the 200th five-wicket haul in Test cricket at the venue - the most at any ground in the world.

  14. Eng 226-9

    Ooh, that's a ripper.

    Will O'Rourke has been a complete nightmare on this surface. He gets one to lift up and ping off Ollie Robinson's glove as he's fending away from his face.

    Robinson turns down the single, probably quite begrudgingly after that.

  15. Eng 225-9

    Lead by 252

    Well, I'm going to argue that commentator's curse does not count on a pitch like this.

    Nathan Smith has had to bowl slightly differently in this innings. He hasn't been playing a lot for New Zealand, he hasn't been a regular in the side.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Tongue b Smith 5 (Eng 225-9)

    Or not!

    Nathan Smith has his five-for, and what a performance it's been considering they have been a bowler down for quite some time.

    Full, fast, straight and too good for Josh Tongue, who knocked out a few stumps himself earlier today.

  19. Eng 225-8

    Again, it's gone a little quiet out there as Tongue and Robinson continue to rotate the singles.

    That just shows how Atkinson's wicket came out of nowhere earlier.

  20. Jeremy Coney
    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    The main concern for me about New Zealand is that they haven't played much recently in terms of Test cricket and they looked troubled about scoring, hitting England bowlers away, particularly someone like Ollie Robinson on this surface.
