    The toss was vital. No chance of England winning today. Oh well, there’s always 2023.

    Just poured a Rekorderlig passionfruit cider into a large glass with ice, to try and settle the nerves. Is it too early? 
    If you have to ask if it’s too early then we can never be friends 
    Well, the horse has bolted now, now heading back to the fridge to get another.... =)

    I'm not sure so about the toss.  IMO, a good one to lose. 

    I'm in London and the sky is very overcast, England did a very good job chasing and they'd back Roy/Bairstow to set up another good chase. 

    Guptill at the crease in these conditions will be very nervy.

    Here we go....

    God's speed to the ball as it leaves Woakes, Archer & Wood's hands, may it travel wibbly wobbly, seam and swing!

    England's record at Lords isn't great and it always seems to be a pitch England struggle to bowl well on, they can't let the NZ openers off the hook. They need an early wicket to lift the spirits, somehow, some way

    Wouldn't you rather have him using up overs not scoring?

    The best thing about today is that Mark Nicholas is nowhere to be seen. Just need Andrew Castle not to commentate on the Wimbledon final, and it will be the best day ever.

    Maybe, England have turned the screws on since the wicket, this is good, tough going for the batsmen.

    Mark Nicholas has turned into a male version of Gloria Hunniford, way too slick and insincere. By contrast Ian Ward has turned into an excellent presenter and interviewer.

    NZ settling in, run rate picking up. Wicket needed.

    Nicholls gone - bowled him! Go Liam Plunkett! Middle overs maestro.

    Huge wicket.  Very poor umpire decision, but a review was wasted so there it goes. 

    I'm getting really pissed off with guitar playing at the cricket venues, the same shitty riffs over and over again.  Why does cricket think they need that kind of nonsense?  Just leave the cricket to be as it is.

    I like the guitar playing, music, fireworks etc in T20s and ODIs, Test Match cricket should definitely be left alone to its traditions.

    NZ doing a great job of ticking along and not panicking.

    Cricket does not need every non-plsying moment to be filled with loud and generally awful music blasting at unreasonable volume. I've stopped going to matches because of it, it's unnecessary and unbearable.
