Jonathan Agnew
BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special
It's perfectly set up for England. They'll still be nervous, there are still capable batsman for New Zealand but this pitch is a really poor pitch. This is not the standard for a Lord's Test match and they can't keep playing on this strip.
Michael Vaughan
Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special
New Zealand take three wickets in five balls
Test match cricket is meant to be a test but it's been too easy for the bowlers. You want a fair balance and it's not been a fair balance.
Great players are going out to bat and they're making it look really difficult.
WinViz has England as firm favourites going into the third day.
Image source, CricVizHere is that Kane Williamson dismissal, which could prove to be a defining one.

Sam Drury

I said before the start of New Zealand's innings that I thought we'd have a good idea how this one was likely to go by stumps.
Well, it's looking pretty good for England. Yesterday it was Ollie Robinson, today it's Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue doing the damage.
New Zealand were creeping back into the game when Kane Williamson was ticking along, but his wicket has turned things in England's favour.
We'll resume day three with England needing seven wickets, while New Zealand are 218 runs behind.
O'Rourke b Atkinson 0 (NZ 36-3)
Wow, keep that out.
Good luck to any top six batter playing that, let alone a tailender. It's pitched on middle stump and nipped off the seam to clip the top of off.
A fascinating day ends with England on top.
'It's been that sort of game!' - O'Rourke bowls Atkinson
Devon Conway thumps the first ball of Gus Atkinson's over down the ground and sprints back for three.
Over to you, Will O'Rourke.
Ashwanth R Kavuluri
CricViz analyst
England have looked to challenge the outside edge more in this innings rather than attack the stumps. At the 10-over mark of their previous innings, England's seamers had bowled 25% of their deliveries on a line projected to hit the stumps. In this innings so far, that figure has dropped to just 5%.
Target 254
O'Rourke survives.
A wicket maiden for Josh Tongue. We should get two more overs in tonight.
Simon Mann
BBC Test Match Special commentator
That was the wicket England were desperate for before the close, psychologically.
Vic Marks
Former England spinner on Test Match Special
He shouldn't be reviewing that to be honest.
Williamson lbw b Tongue 18 (NZ 29-2)
He knew.
It's crashing into middle stump. A slow walk back for Williamson, who looks gutted because he'd been playing pretty fluently before missing that full one from Josh Tongue.
Will O'Rourke is in as nightwatcher.

One look at the replay on the big screen and Kane Williamson is walking off.
I think he knew even before reviewing.
This one has got to be out!
Yes, it's given on the field - but Kane Williamson reviews with a second to spare. That in itself suggests he knows he's in trouble.
Devon Conway is struggling, though. It's been a gutsy effort from him and Williamson so far.
Vic Marks
Former England spinner on Test Match Special
That is really tight. If you're a bowler you're feeling aggrieved.
Oh, that is close.
Umpire's call on impact and Conway survives - that worked against him in the first innings but it's come to his rescue here.
Big appeal!
Ollie Robinson didn't look too keen on Jamie Smith standing up to the stumps but it might've paid off here as Devon Conway is trapped on the crease.
Doesn't matter where the keeper is if you bowl there, though.
Short, wide and cut for four by Williamson.
