Summary

Have your say on England men this summer

  1. NZ 64-3published at 16 overs

    Rachin Ravindra counterattacks with back-to-back boundaries.

    The New Zealander works Josh Tongue through fine leg for four, then waspishly cuts the England quick through point.

    Rachin has a fluent 32 off 28 balls.

    England are bowling lovely lengths here.

  3. NZ 55-3published at 15 overs

    Final ball of the over and Gus Atkinson digs on into Daryl Mitchell which flashes off the Kiwi batter's thigh pad and is caught by Ben Duckett at leg slip.

    England appeal, half-heartedly. The Trent Bridge crowd appeal wholeheartedly.

    Not out.

    Are England just going to make this really difficult for Daryl Mitchell?

  5. ouch!

    NZ 51-3published at 14.2 overs

    The Trent Bridge crowd are well oiled and firing England up.

    Daryl Mitchell ducks into a short ball from Gus Atkinson is caught on the arm.

    Nicholls c Brook b Atkinson 16 (NZ 51-3)

    Henry Nicholls nicks off!

    Almost a carbon copy of the ball which flashed past Harry Brook in the previous over from Josh Tongue.

    Nicholls hangs his bat to a delivery from Gus Atkinson and there's an edge which carries but this time Brook reacts quickly to snaffle it.

    He has to go to second slip and sometimes you just have to swallow your pride as a captain. England are fired up.

  8. NZ 51-2published at 14 overs

    Josh Tongue is bowling rockets.

    An 90mph nip backer clatters into pad of the left-handed Henry Nicholls, but after a brief conflab England decline to review.

    Next ball an 89mph delivery which nips the other way beats the defensive prod of Nicholls.

    Yes, he moved as you'd want a slip to move.

    Harry Brook is an excellent catcher, a conventional first slip catches that.

  11. NZ 48-2published at 13.1 overs

    Josh Tongue has his hand on his head.

    He draws a genuine edge from a Henry Nicholls' waft which is angled into his body from round the wicket.

    Harry Brook is stood a little wide of first slip and the ball goes between him and wicketkeeper Jamie Smith and skims the turf to the boundary for four.

  12. NZ 44-2published at 13 overs

    That initial movement England were finding off the seam has dissipated a little in the past few overs.

    Gus Atkinson with a maiden keeps it tight to keep the pressure on.

  13. NZ 44-2published at 12 overs

    Josh Tongue gets one to spit off a length at Rachin Ravindra, but the Kiwi batter plays it with soft hands and, with only one slip in place, the ball races through the cordon for four.

  14. drinks break

    New Zealand 36-2 at drinkspublished at 10.4 overs

    The ball is going to be changed so the umpires decide to call drinks with two balls of Gus Atkinson's over remaining.

    With New Zealand already leading by more than 100 runs, England need to be careful with their lengths. Of the 30-odd runs New Zealand have scored so far, 14 have come from deliveries pitched on a fuller length, at 7.63 runs per over. England will need to be wary of serving up too many full deliveries at this stage.

  16. NZ 36-2published at 10.4 overs

    Rachin Ravindra with another demonstrative drive.

    He has bit between his teeth as he biffs Gus Atkinson back down the ground for four, beating the diving Ben Stokes at mid-off.

    It's better a pitch deteriorating rather than the common theme of them getting better and better.

  18. NZ 32-2published at 10 overs

    Henry Nicholls underdoes and refastens the velcro straps on his gloves between deliveries.

    Josh Tongue is honing in on the stumps but Nicholls is pretty stoic.

    Archer is coming to his fifth over here, I would just give him one more.

  20. NZ 31-2published at 9 overs

    Henry Nicholls late cuts the fourth ball of Jofra Archer's latest over which tests the razor-sharp reflexes of Jacob Bethell at gully.

    Five overs from Archer, and he might be due a break now.
