Scorecard - 1st Test, England vs New Zealand at Lord's, London, England (21 May 2015)

98.5 - Southee to J Anderson, FOUR, Anderson has had enough of blocking or trying to block. Charges Southee and slogs, gets a thick edge over the slip cordon. Races away

98.1 - Southee to J Anderson, FOUR, Anderson plays a fabulous shot. On the rise as he got forward and laced a length ball through cover-point. Held the pose after playing the shot

97.4 - Boult to Mark Wood, FOUR, low full toss outside off, Wood gets forward and eases it square of the wicket, easy boundary

97.1 - Boult to J Anderson, byes, FOUR, no chance for Latham. He dived full length to his right to stop that but could only get a glove on it, it was horribly slung down leg by Boult

90.5 - Southee to Moeen Ali, FOUR, Moeen Ali gets to fifty. First cheers of the day. Short outside off, Moeen Ali rises tall and then fetches it from there to pull that wide of mid-on, on this outfield once it is in the gap, it is four all the way. A raise of the bat from Moeen Ali as his team-mates stand up to applaud

88.1 - Matt Henry to Moeen Ali, FOUR, top shot to bring the 100-run stand. Full delivery on off, Ali presents a straight bat and pushes it down the ground, the timing on that was exquisite as the ball raced away to the fence

86.2 - Matt Henry to Moeen Ali, FOUR, back foot punch and it's in the gap, to the right of the man at cover, Corey Anderson gives chase, dives but the ball wins the race. Enough width on offer outside off stump and the length was short enough to employ that shot as well

86.0 - Southee to Buttler, FOUR, leg stumpish, not good enough and put away for four. Short of a length from Southee, Buttler waits on the back foot and tickles it fine to beat fine leg

84.5 - Boult to Buttler, FOUR, full and on the off stump, Buttler plays a lovely looking off-drive, beats Baz at mid-off and beats his chase as well. That was so easily done

83.1 - Southee to Moeen Ali, FOUR, a free-flowing front foot cover drive from Ali. Full and wide outside off stump, Ali gets a good stride forward, leans into the shot and timed it sweetly

82.5 - Boult to Buttler, byes, FOUR, too much swing, too good for the keeper as even a full length dive wasn't good enough. Boult bowls the inswinger, but bowls it down the leg-side

81.4 - Southee to Buttler, FOUR, full and down the leg-side, gets the radar wrong and Buttler flicks it away for four through backward square leg. That would have been a fine ball to Moeen Ali. Southee is not happy with himself for losing his radar on that occasion

80.0 - Craig to Moeen Ali, FOUR, this time the slog-sweep, goes aerial and clears the infield, there is no one at deep mid-wicket and it's another boundary. Ali picked the length early, it was too full and Ali didn't miss out

79.3 - Craig to Moeen Ali, FOUR, goes for the sweep, gets it from the middle of the bat, sends it through square leg and it runs away for four. Ali got down on one knee and swept it nicely

76.4 - Corey Anderson to Buttler, FOUR, 300 up for England and they would be happy after losing 4 wickets inside 15 overs, this was fraction fuller and wide, Buttler drives on the front foot and gets a boundary towards deep extra cover

75.4 - Craig to Moeen Ali, FOUR, floated up, but Ali plays a brave shot. Opts to loft it over the infield and hits it over mid-on. The fact that it was very full made life very easy for him

73.2 - Craig to Buttler, FOUR, too short this time, down the leg-side as well, Buttler goes on the back foot and pulls it behind square on the on-side for an easy boundary

68.3 - Boult to Moeen Ali, FOUR, top shot sir! Full and swinging away, Ali gets a good stride forward, great balance as he leans forward and drives it sweetly from the middle of the bat through cover. That will give him a lot of confidence

64.1 - Boult to Buttler, byes, FOUR, splays it down leg, Buttler can't meet with the glance, the ball swings further away, Latham dives in vain. For a second, it looked like it came off the bat, but it was nowhere close to the willow

64.0 - Matt Henry to Moeen Ali, FOUR, lovely delivery first up, yorker on the stumps, Moeen Ali just about gets his bat down in time, manages to squirt it past the slip cordon. Henry was not sure whether it was boot first or bat, but McCullum wanted it reviewed. That was an easy decision for third umpire Rod Tucker

61.0 - Craig to J Root, FOUR, Anderson gets a bad bounce and concedes another boundary to Root, tossed up on off, Root gets forward and works it wide of mid-wicket, Anderson runs to his left, the ball bounces a bit more and runs away to the fence

60.3 - Craig to J Root, FOUR, Root moves into the 90s. Floated up just outside off, Root comes forward, presents the full face and drives it to the right of mid-off, the timing on that takes it to the fence

58.2 - Craig to Buttler, FOUR, lovely use of the feet, dances down the wicket to the flighted delivery, meets the pitch of the ball and lofts it with the turn over mid-wicket, the fielder from deep square gives chase in vain

57.4 - Matt Henry to Buttler, FOUR, fraction fuller just outside off, Buttler was caught in the crease as he hangs his bat tentatively, ball takes the edge and escapes past the slip cordon into the third man fence

54.5 - Craig to Buttler, FOUR, lovely shot! It was overpitched outside off and Buttler takes full toll of it, gets a good stride forward and laces the drive through cover, no need to run for those

49.5 - Matt Henry to Buttler, FOUR, brilliant straight drive from Buttler, this was slightly fuller on middle and off, Buttler drives it handsomely straight down the ground

39.5 - Boult to Stokes, FOUR, the 150 of the partnership comes up in just 168 balls. These two have turned it around nicely. Full and slanting into the pads, Stokes leans forward and flicks it to deep mid-wicket, no stopping those

39.3 - Boult to Stokes, FOUR, he is batting like a dream now. Another fabulous shot from the Durham all-rounder. Goes right back for this short of length delivery, punches it beautifully through cover, the slope takes the ball away from the fielders

38.5 - Matt Henry to Stokes, FOUR, Henry prefers to keep it short, Stokes is waiting for it, he rocks back and hammers the pull to deep mid-wicket, the man at deep square leg couldn't pick the ball, he stood his ground and reacted after it reached the fence

38.2 - Matt Henry to Stokes, FOUR, much better while playing proper cricket. Short and outside off, Stokes stands tall and punches it sweetly through cover, the fast outfield takes care of the rest

36.2 - Matt Henry to Stokes, FOUR, top shot! Pitched up around off, Stokes drives it past the bowler, Henry dives to his left but can't get there, Anderson gives chase and comes second as well, he goes crashing into the ad boards, but he is fine

35.1 - Southee to Stokes, FOUR, cracking shot! Half volley and plenty of room on offer, Stokes gets a good stride forward and drives it through cover, no stopping that once it goes past the infield

32.0 - Southee to Stokes, FOUR, fine shot to bring up Stokes' 2nd Test fifty. Top knock under pressure which is appreciated by his team-mates. Southee for the second time in the over drifts onto the pads, Stokes clips it in front of square and reaches the milestone

31.2 - Southee to Stokes, FOUR, the 100 partnership comes up. This stand has bailed England out of trouble, at least slightly. Full and on the pads, Stokes leans forward and flicks it handsomely wide of mid-on, the timing on that beats the chasing fielder

29.1 - Southee to J Root, FOUR, easy pickings, Southee errs in line and drifts onto the pads, Root gets enough bat on the glance and beats the fielder at fine leg

28.0 - Southee to Stokes, FOUR, swing for Southee, it starts on off and shapes into the pads, Stokes leans forward and flicks it wide of mid-on to collect his first boundary after lunch

25.0 - Craig to J Root, FOUR, third boundary of the over and the best of the lot. It wasn't short, it was spinning back in, but Root went back and punched it through point, once again beats the two men in on the off-side, the chase goes in vain from the fielders

24.5 - Craig to J Root, FOUR, now through the off-side, slightly short and Root rocks back to force that through, beats point chasing. The crowd go 'Roooootttttttttttttt'

24.3 - Craig to J Root, FOUR, Root doesn't miss out on another half-tracker, rocks back and pulls, it brushes short leg's helmet on the way and still runs away to the boundary. Poor bowling

22.0 - Matt Henry to J Root, FOUR, Root is looking very positive today, willing to put the loose ball away, short of length outside off, he stands tall and forces it through point

21.2 - Matt Henry to Stokes, FOUR, good effort from the sub Ronchi but the ball wins the race. Short on the stumps, Stokes played a half-pull, but got enough of a top edge to beat the fielder running to his right from long leg

19.3 - Boult to J Root, FOUR, Root looks in great nick. Nothing short delivery, no pace and Root was early into position, swivelling and pulling it to the deep backward square fence, gave long leg no chance

18.5 - Southee to J Root, FOUR, fraction short outside off, Root hangs back and punches through point, raced away once it hit the gap

18.0 - Boult to Stokes, FOUR, there was risk involved in that but Stokes has put that away emphatically, closed the bat face on the flick to a middle stump delivery and managed to get sufficient bat on the shot, picked it through mid-wicket for consecutive boundaries

17.5 - Boult to Stokes, FOUR, these attacking fields mean runs when it is placed in the gap, very full outside off, Stokes jammed out on it and got it through point

17.0 - Southee to Stokes, FOUR, another outside edge and right in the gap between slips and gully. Went to ground quickly and raced away beating the chasing fielders. Stokes going very hard at the ball, not a good sign if you are an England supporter

16.3 - Southee to Stokes, FOUR, that's a half-volley outside off and Stokes plays a controlled square drive, got forward and bent his knee to play it along the ground to deep backward point, eye-catching from Stokes

14.3 - Matt Henry to Stokes, FOUR, fine pull shot. Pacy short ball on the stumps, Stokes swivels on the shot and beats Boult with a tremendous shot. Power-packed

13.2 - Boult to J Root, FOUR, that swung but it was on middle and leg, Root gets forward and flicks through square leg, the ball races away and beats the long leg fielder. Sweetly timed for four

10.4 - Matt Henry to J Root, FOUR, lovely shot to get off the mark. Root gets forward and laces the cover drive after Matt Henry bowls the sucker delivery outside off, the ball beats the chasing fielder and runs away. Very quick outfield this

7.5 - Southee to Cook, FOUR, pitched up outside off, Cook gets forward and drives with an open face, through the vacant backward point region, it was played in the air but got it in the gap for four

5.4 - Southee to Cook, FOUR, had Cook missed that, he would've been right in front, inswinger, Cook shuffles across and gets his front pad across but manages a faint tickle on the flick, beats fine leg easily

4.2 - Boult to Cook, FOUR, slightly iffy from Cook but he gets away. A half-hearted push over cover, in the air but this is a Test match so it goes over the man close in, races away and it will be the first boundary of the day

131.0 - Mark Wood to Watling, FOUR, banged in halfway down the wicket, Watling arches back and ramps it over the slip cordon, the ball went a long way up, but had the pace to reach the fence. Two fielders gave chase, but allowed the ball to roll away as it would keep Watling off strike

130.2 - Mark Wood to Watling, FOUR, stand and deliver stuff from Watling, full and in the slot, he makes a bit of room and smashes it inside out through extra cover, the fielder at sweeper cover had no chance of stopping that

126.5 - J Anderson to Matt Henry, FOUR, lovely shot! These are handy runs for New Zealand. Fuller and around off, Henry makes a bit of room and creams it through cover-point, that came right off the middle as the ball raced away to the fence

126.0 - Moeen Ali to Matt Henry, FOUR, nice use of the feet. Henry shimmies down the wicket, gets too close to the ball, lofts it in the air just over mid-off, Bell leapt up to catch it, but it was too high. The total also crosses 500 with that boundary

125.5 - Moeen Ali to Matt Henry, byes, FOUR, the extras keep adding up. Turn for Moeen Ali, pitches on middle and goes further down, Henry can't meet with the glance, the ball brushes the pad and runs away to the fence

124.0 - Moeen Ali to Watling, FOUR, now the unconventional sweep, flighted delivery around off, Watling kneels down and reverse sweeps it right between keeper and first slip fielder. That four also takes the lead to 100

123.5 - Moeen Ali to Watling, FOUR, hammered! Touch too full, Watling had decided to play the sweep, does well to get it off the middle, he beat Broad's dive at deep mid-wicket. That was hit fiercely

121.2 - Moeen Ali to Southee, FOUR, Southee uses the long handle to good effect, floated up just outside off, he uses his reach to get under that, lofts it towards long-on, the fielder was square and just watches the ball go on the bounce over the rope

119.5 - Moeen Ali to Southee, FOUR, fraction short and outside off, Southee goes deep in the crease and cuts square of the wicket, Wood dives over the ball and allows it to go through, the slope takes care of the rest

119.0 - J Anderson to Watling, FOUR, good shot from Watling, this was full and just outside off, Watling gets across slightly and drives it to the left of mid-off, Broad gives the chase but doesn't get anywhere near to it

117.1 - Moeen Ali to Watling, FOUR, Watling plays a pre-meditated shot. Flighted delivery around off, he shuffles across, kneels down and paddles it fine, no chance for the long leg fielder to stop that

116.1 - J Anderson to Williamson, FOUR, this was short and into the bodyline, Williamson hangs back and pulls it to the deep mid-wicket fence, easy pickings for Williamson

116.0 - Stokes to Watling, FOUR, Stokes drops his length short and Watling makes the best use of it, he stays deep inside the crease and cuts it behind square on the off-side

114.0 - Stokes to Watling, FOUR, a much better shot, short and width outside off, Watling stands tall, opens the bat face and punches it behind point, the fielder from backward point gives chase in vain

113.5 - Stokes to Watling, FOUR, more frustration for Stokes. Well directed short delivery, right at the batsman, Watling goes for the pull, the top-edge flies over the keeper's head. He has bowled well but has nothing to show for

109.3 - Stokes to Watling, FOUR, short, wide and four. Stokes is not a happy man. Short and rising steeply outside off, Watling uses the bounce and guides it over the slip cordon, played deliberately and earns himself four

109.1 - Stokes to Watling, FOUR, bad delivery from Stokes and he pays the price. Short and plenty of width on offer, Watling gets on top of the bounce and cuts it behind point, backward point dives to his left but in vain. That was hit with some power

105.3 - Broad to Williamson, FOUR, swing for Broad but a bit too much for his liking, pitches on off and shapes back in, Williamson leans forward and helps it on the way to the fine leg fence, the fielder was square and had no chance to stop it

104.0 - Broad to Corey Anderson, FOUR, that should give some confidence to Anderson. It was a half volley outside off, he leans forward and creams it to the left of mid-off, the ball raced away to the fence in a hurry

101.2 - Broad to Corey Anderson, byes, FOUR, some more extras for New Zealand, 62 is the total now. Broad splays it down leg, Anderson doesn't bother with it, Buttler gets a bad bounce and the ball runs away to the fence

99.5 - Stokes to Corey Anderson, FOUR, edged and the ball flies over the slip cordon. This was short and just outside off, Anderson was surprised by the extra bouce, he tries to drop his wrists at the last moment, the ball takes the outside edge and flies to the third man fence

97.5 - Stokes to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, short and down leg, it was asking for trouble, McCullum just helps it on the way to the fine leg fence and gets an easy four

97.0 - Mark Wood to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, short and wide of off, McCullum toe-ends the cut behind square on the off-side

96.5 - Mark Wood to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, edged and in the gap, it was on a good length just outside off, McCullum was looking to force it off the back foot and gets a thick edge, had there been a third slip, he was a goner, the ball splits gully and second slip, races to the third man fence

95.2 - Stokes to Brendon McCullum, leg byes, FOUR, Stokes misses the line, bowls it short and down leg, McCullum looks to help it on the way, misses as the ball brushes the pad and runs away fine

94.3 - Mark Wood to Williamson, byes, FOUR, Mark Wood errs in line and concedes four extras, he splays it way down leg, Buttler had no chance of stopping that

94.0 - Broad to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, short and width on offer, McCullum goes chasing after that, he slashes hard and gets the toe-end, the ball races to the third man fence

93.3 - Broad to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, back of a length delivery outside off, McCullum jumps back inside the crease and punches it to the deep extra cover fence, the ball races away in a hurry

90.0 - Broad to Williamson, leg byes, FOUR, another one on the pads and Broad gives away four extra runs, Williamson looks to tickle it fine but fails to lay bat on it, the ball flies to the left of the keeper off the pad, Buttler dives full length but fails to reach it, the ball runs away to the fence

89.0 - J Anderson to Brendon McCullum, leg byes, FOUR, that was unexpected from the Kiwi skipper, McCullum decides to give the charge to Anderson as he bowls it fuller and on the pads, McCullum fails to glance it fine but the ball runs away to the fine leg fence off the pad

85.5 - Broad to Brendon McCullum, FOUR, Baz gets off the mark in usual fashion. This was overpitched outside off, McCullum drives it to the right of cover, where Root dives but fails to stop it. The ball races away to the fence in no time

85.0 - J Anderson to Williamson, FOUR, he'll keep doing this to you if you bowl him in that channel and don't have a third man. It was a back of a length delivery outside off, Williamson waits for it to arrive, opens the face of the bat and guides it to the left of backward point, Stokes gives chase but there was no way he was going to stop that

81.3 - Broad to Ross Taylor, FOUR, angles this one on the pads and pays the price for it, Taylor waits for it and tickles it from the top half of the bat, gets it fine and the ball runs away to the fence

80.1 - J Anderson to Ross Taylor, FOUR, fuller in length and shapes away outside off, Taylor comes forward, opens the face of the bat and drives it square of the wicket, there was no stopping that ball from reaching the fence

75.3 - Moeen Ali to Williamson, byes, FOUR, how did that miss the stumps and Buttler had no chance. Ripping offie, Williamson came forward to drive and the ball dipped on the shot to turn past the batsman, went through the gate and Buttler didn't gather it. It hit the footmarks and that made Buttler's job difficult, still will go down as a stumping chance as KW was out of his crease. That came out of nowhere

74.1 - J Root to Williamson, FOUR, very poor delivery first up by Root, short and wide outside off from round the wicket, Williamson had all the time in the world to go back and cut that in front of cover, does so and gets four. Moves into the nineties now

70.0 - Stokes to Ross Taylor, FOUR, now Ross Taylor gets four, short and wide outside off, nothing ball really, Ross Taylor carves it up and over point. Easy shot to play with no-one there

69.4 - Stokes to Williamson, FOUR, magnificent pull shot. Dismissive from Williamson as he rocks back and thunders a pull. Deep square only had a few paces to cover but gave up the chase very early. That was hit with some power

65.5 - Stokes to Williamson, FOUR, I have lost count of the number of dabs through that region by Williamson today. Still no third man. Stokes can't believe it. Run off the open face and the ball beats Root's chase back and attempt to pull it back. A teaser and Williamson moves to 70 now

63.5 - Stokes to Ross Taylor, FOUR, top on-drive. On the rise. Ross Taylor gets forward and creams the shot to the left of mid-on. Enough timing to get another boundary. That has to be the best shot that Ross Taylor has played today

63.0 - Broad to Williamson, FOUR, Williamson is looking in great nick. Broad is not happy with that effort from Anderson at mid-off. Stands with both hands on his hips at the top of his mark. Pitched up outside off, Williamson drives to the left of mid-off where Anderson put in a full length dive but the ball escaped past his grasp. Had just about enough to hit the rope

61.3 - Stokes to Williamson, FOUR, juicy half-volley from Stokes, outside off, a gift to Williamson at this stage, who gets forward and threads a drive between cover and mid-off for four more. Needed to hit the gap and did so with ease

59.2 - Stokes to Williamson, FOUR, can't bowl there to Williamson at all. Too much width for Williamson to open the face and dab it wide of gully. Bread and butter stuff for Williamson

57.1 - Stokes to Williamson, FOUR, gentle loosener from Stokes at 82.4mph, short and on the stumps, Williamson is quick to rock back and pull through mid-wicket, beat the fielder and raced away. Poor beginning from Stokes to a new spell

57.0 - J Anderson to Ross Taylor, FOUR, Ross Taylor heaps more misery on Anderson, it's a long a half-volley outside off, Ross Taylor gets forward and crashes the drive along the ground to the cover fence. Adding insult to injury

55.2 - Moeen Ali to Ross Taylor, FOUR, dropped short and wide outside off, first loose ball from Moeen Ali, Ross Taylor rocks back and cuts square of the wicket, always a boundary when you have little protection in the deep

51.0 - Mark Wood to Williamson, FOUR, now Williamson is at ease, especially against pace. When it is pitched up like that, Williamson will drive well, gets forward and shows the full face of the bat to drive wide of mid-on, easy boundary and a classy one too

50.1 - Mark Wood to Williamson, FOUR, beautiful back foot punch from Williamson. Bowled on a back of a length outside off, Williamson rises tall and punches well, riding the bounce on offer, into the gap through point. Williamson was on his toes as he played that

50.0 - Moeen Ali to Ross Taylor, FOUR, Ross Taylor was itching to go at Moeen Ali and he gets four. Down the track and to the pitch of the ball, before lofting it over mid-on, one bounce over the ropes

46.3 - Mark Wood to Williamson, FOUR, fraction short outside off, enough for Williamson to rock back and punch that through the point region. Into the gap and four more

44.2 - Mark Wood to Williamson, FOUR, that's where Williamson is strong. Playing with soft hands and dabbing it over the man at gully, hit it into the ground and once it went over the leaping fielder, it raced away

41.2 - Mark Wood to Williamson, FOUR, beautiful off-drive from Williamson. Mark Wood went full and outside off, Williamson leant into the drive and got it off the middle of the bat, the fielder came across from mid-off trying to dive and field but it was past him in a flash

40.4 - Moeen Ali to Ross Taylor, byes, FOUR, down leg and Buttler didn't get anything on it, it hit the hand and deflected to the fine leg fence. There was a man chasing it but the ball had too much pace. Four byes signalled

34.0 - Broad to Latham, FOUR, Latham is leaning into those drives superbly now. A tad full and outside off, Latham gets forward and laces a drive through cover, the timing is good enough to take the ball to the ropes, beating the chasing fielder

31.4 - Broad to Latham, leg byes, FOUR, this is poor bowling from Broad, short and on Latham's pads, he shuffles across on the flick and misses, the ball races away past the keeper and races away to the fence, four more leg-byes

31.3 - Broad to Latham, FOUR, lovely shot, leg-stump half-volley from Broad, Latham gets inside the line and clips it to the left of mid-on, no need to run for those, Latham moves onto 49

30.4 - J Anderson to Latham, FOUR, that has to be the shot of the day. Anderson went full and outside off, Latham shows the full face of the bat and then drives it past the non-striker, sweet from Latham and so pleasing to the eye - that stroke. Everything correct about the stroke. Balance, poise and head position

29.5 - Broad to Guptill, byes, FOUR, too high and Buttler had no chance. Very short from Broad as he dug it in halfway down the track, it bounced over the leap of Buttler who was going to his left. Since it is a Test match it wasn't called a wide

29.3 - Broad to Guptill, FOUR, fine off-drive from Guptill. Broad went full and outside off and Guptill latched on. Got forward and presented the straighest of blades to drive down the ground. All along the ground too. Lovely to see Guptill playing with a high front elbow

28.5 - J Anderson to Latham, FOUR, the 100-run stand is up with a good pull shot. Fraction short on the stumps, Latham was quick to rock back and pull wide of square leg, the ball makes its way to the fence in no time and that's a fine opening stand between Latham and Guptill

25.1 - Stokes to Latham, FOUR, controlled stroke for four. On a good length and outside off, Latham gets forward to defend and the ball takes the outer half and runs wide of gully. Down the hill and it races away

24.3 - J Anderson to Guptill, FOUR, fuller delivery on middle and leg, Guptill miscues the flick as the ball sails over mid-on and races away to the fence. He just chipped it in the air and got a leading edge of sorts

20.2 - Mark Wood to Latham, FOUR, short of length delivery just outside off, Latham cuts it uppishly and Stokes at backward point anticipated the ball to go the other way, he misjudges it completely and by the time he realised his mistake, it was too late and the ball runs away

20.0 - Stokes to Guptill, FOUR, third boundary in the over and second one off the outside edge, this was on a good length and pitched just outside off, Guptill presents the full face of the bat as he tried to block, gets a thick edge that runs away to the left of gully, who fails to stop it with the dive and the ball runs away to the fence

19.3 - Stokes to Guptill, FOUR, length delivery just outside off, Guptill stands still and punches it in front of square on the off-side, the ball hurries through the turf and crashes into the fence

19.2 - Stokes to Guptill, FOUR, yorker just outside off, Guptill squeezes it out off the outside half of the bat, the ball goes off the turf and runs away in the gap between first slip and the keeper, ball reaches the boundary in a flash. The Englishmen were appealing for an lbw, but the ball never hit the pad. Good call by the umpire to give it as runs

17.1 - Stokes to Latham, FOUR, beautiful stroke from Latham, he is looking more confident now, short of length delivery and width offered yet again, Latham cuts it behind square on the off side

16.1 - Mark Wood to Latham, FOUR, length delivery and width on offer, Latham waits on the back foot and cuts it square of the wicket

11.1 - J Anderson to Guptill, FOUR, length delivery and Guptill had enough time and width to cut it infront of square on the off side

10.2 - Mark Wood to Guptill, FOUR, length delivery on middle and leg, Guptill says thank you and whips it to the deep mid wicket fence

9.2 - Broad to Latham, FOUR, poor delivery from Broad, he misses on the line and pays the price, fuller and on middle and leg, Latham flicks and gets four

6.3 - J Anderson to Guptill, leg byes,FOUR, Anderson errs in line and pays the price, it was on middle and leg shaping away too much, Guptill misses on the flick, the ball brushes the thigh pad and races away towards the fine leg fence

2.4 - J Anderson to Latham, FOUR, beautiful shot from Latham, full and Latham had enough width to drive, he drives it with soft hands as the ball sails to deep extra cover

0.4 - J Anderson to Guptill, FOUR, too full and width outside off, Guptill's eyes lit up as he leans into the drive and smashes it hard to deep extra cover, found the gap and the timing was rich as well. Off the mark in style

128.0 - Southee to Mark Wood, FOUR, Southee continues to go for runs. Inswinger but starts middle and leg, Mark Wood glances to the fine leg fence, is off the mark

127.4 - Southee to Moeen Ali, FOUR, smashed by Moeen Ali. Waist high short ball, Moeen Ali pulls and beats deep mid-wicket easily, the fielder had just a few paces to move to his right but despite the dive the ball whistled past him

123.3 - Southee to Cook, FOUR, fabulous cover drive. Pitched up outside off, Cook leans into the front foot shot and places it along the ground wide of anyone in on the off-side, gracefully done by the England captain as he notches up consecutive boundaries

123.2 - Southee to Cook, FOUR, the score is now 450 as Cook gets forward to angle the ball to the vacant third man region, wide of gully, length outside off and that allowed Cook the room to play the stroke

122.4 - Boult to Moeen Ali, FOUR, too straight from Boult, no swing and that allows Moeen Ali to shuffle across and clip it wide of the square leg umpire, that raced away to the fence, elegantly played

121.1 - Southee to Moeen Ali, FOUR, free flowing drive from Moeen Ali, he gets forward and then opens the face of the bat to get the cover drive in the gap, there was a fielder at short cover but he hit it wide of him, classy from Moeen Ali as he bent his knee while playing that

119.5 - Southee to Moeen Ali, FOUR, first runs of the day and it is a cracking boundary, full outside off, Moeen Ali plays the lofted drive over cover, superbly struck and the ball raced away to the fence in a flash

113.2 - Southee to Moeen Ali, FOUR, pitched up outside off, Moeen Ali drives away from the body and gets lucky, squirted off the outside edge and in the gap at point

110.1 - Boult to Cook, FOUR, wrong line from Boult and that's tickled down to the fine leg fence, on the hips, Cook gets inside the line and flicks beating the man who was very square

108.0 - Craig to Moeen Ali, FOUR, Trent Boult at mid-on was wrong-footed, was going to his left but the ball slips to his right, he dives but can't prevent the ball from going past. It was a full toss on the stumps and Moeen Ali drove it hard

105.2 - Craig to Moeen Ali, FOUR, fabulous inside out hit. Moeen Ali took a step forward and lifted it with all the elegance that a left-hander possesses, lovely to see as it went almost all the way

100.0 - Southee to Buttler, FOUR, now Buttler with a free flowing cover drive. The ball was pitched up by Southee to let it swing, it did but Buttler leant into the shot and got it along the ground, lovely to see

99.2 - Southee to Cook, FOUR, a long half-volley outside off, Cook creams the drive wide of short cover. The knee bent and he played it beautifully. Now Cook is looking like the Cook of the 2010-11 Ashes in Australia

98.3 - Matt Henry to Buttler, FOUR, Buttler is another player who can strike the ball cleanly, when he hits them it is usually goes to the boundary, full outside off, Buttler drives in the air but over cover where there is no-one

92.4 - Matt Henry to Stokes, FOUR, smashed! Right up there and Stokes brutalises it past the umpire. That was hit very very hard

90.5 - Southee to Stokes, FOUR, more runs and Stokes is on fire. When it is pitched up like that, Stokes drives and shows the full face of the bat to do so. Hit on the rise and past the umpire, Baz moved across from mid-on but didn't dive as the timing meant the ball was past him in a flash. Stokes races into the nineties

90.1 - Southee to Stokes, FOUR, Stokes is hurting Southee as the quick bowler keeps bowling short, murdered over mid-wicket, the fielder at deep mid-wicket was just a spectator. Stokes played that nonchalantly. He seems to be in the mood today

89.0 - Southee to Stokes, FOUR, Stokes isn't going to back down against the short ball, he is willing to take it on, short outside off, Stokes pulls and gets a top edge, this time the ball flies to fine leg and there is no-one there, a safe shot and that will be 14 off the last three balls. The ploy to bowl short isn't working at the moment

87.4 - Boult to Stokes, FOUR, big inswinger, but just punched straight down the ground, Stokes got his front toe in the way of the shot but the bat came down to drive past the umpire, Baz's chase is a futile one

85.5 - Boult to Stokes, FOUR, slightly streaky but Stokes will take it. It was full and outside off, Stokes drove away from the body, in the air but in the gap wide of point. Came off the outside half of the bat

83.4 - Boult to Stokes, FOUR, four more to Stokes. Short and wide outside off, slashed up and over point, whistled away to the fence

82.4 - Southee to Stokes, FOUR, finesse from Stokes that time. He opens the face of the bat and steers it behind point after Southee hits a back of a length outside off, the angle was there to play the stroke and Stokes used it to good effect. Stokes is hurting Baz and Southee with quick runs off the second new ball

82.3 - Southee to Stokes, FOUR, too good from Stokes. He is taking the sheen off the new ball with these hard hits. Southee went full for the swing but Stokes got forward and creamed it to the left of mid-off. Beats the diving Baz. That was so well-timed

82.1 - Southee to Stokes, FOUR, fabulous back foot punch. Slightly short outside off, Stokes stood tall and played the vertical bat shot, well-timed through point

81.2 - Matt Henry to Cook, FOUR, a long half-volley outside off, Cook leans into the cover drive and eases it into the gap. Bent his knee and played a flowing drive

76.3 - Craig to Stokes, FOUR, the mandatory short delivery arrives, Stokes rocks back and cuts beating cover-point, last over he didn't hit the gap, but this time he did

75.0 - Craig to Stokes, FOUR, that is a fine sweep shot to deep backward square leg, down leg, Stokes knelt down and hammered it, along the ground and it raced away. Stokes has come out with a positive intent and that is nice to see

74.0 - Matt Henry to Stokes, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries. Again Matt Henry overpitches outside off and Stokes makes him pay. Driven wide of Baz at mid-off, he hurtles after the ball and dives head-first into the ad-cushions but can't pull the ball back. The timing beat him to the rope

73.5 - Matt Henry to Stokes, FOUR, brilliant stroke from Stokes. It was full and outside off, he leant into it and drove it hard along the ground past the dive of Baz at mid-off. Sweetly struck from Stokes that time after a nervous drive to the last one

73.4 - Matt Henry to Stokes, FOUR, pitched up outside off, Stokes drives and gets a thick outside edge, it was going to the left of Guptill at third slip who dived but didn't get a hand on it, the ball escapes to the third man fence, very iffy from Stokes

65.4 - Southee to J Root, FOUR, in the air but wide of Guptill at backward square leg, Gups went flying to his left but the ball went just wide of him. Hooked down but still went in the air and Root gets four beating the man at deep square, definite ploy to get Root caught off the short ball. Almost worked there

64.4 - Craig to Cook, FOUR, one ball in an over from Craig is short, this one too is, Cook rocks back and hammers a short-arm pull through mid-wicket, hit that really hard and now moves onto 94

63.1 - Southee to Cook, FOUR, poor delivery first up from Southee, short and outside off, Cook cuts it off the back foot and gets a four square of the wicket

62.0 - Boult to Cook, FOUR, full and sliding down leg, Cook flicks it to the fine leg fence, easy pickings for the England skipper, Boult wasn't happy with the line

60.1 - Craig to J Root, FOUR, more rubbish from Craig, a full toss outside off, Root gets forward and drives wide of cover and that races away, needs to stick to a line and a length

58.3 - Craig to Cook, FOUR, down leg, Cook is in position early and sweeps hard to deep backward square leg, knelt down and smashed it, found the gap too

56.1 - Craig to J Root, FOUR, Root wants to take the attack to Craig, it was tossed up outside off, he kneels down and slog-sweeps hard over mid-wicket, deliberately hit in the air over the man in the ring

55.0 - Craig to J Root, FOUR, this time Root picks the gap at backward square leg, it was on middle and he kneels down to sweep hard and into the ground, bisects the two fielders to get a boundary

52.2 - Craig to J Root, FOUR, Craig isn't learning. Drags it down and Root rocks back to pull behind square, no-one in the deep there and that will be another boundary to Root

51.0 - Craig to J Root, FOUR, consecutive fifties for Root in this match and the crowd cheer. This was down leg, Root sweeps it down to fine leg, a raise of the bat to acknowledge all the cheers. Root's dream run continues

50.4 - Craig to J Root, FOUR, fine slog sweep from Root, sees the tossed up delivery outside off and goes down to hit it hard over mid-wicket

49.3 - Matt Henry to J Root, FOUR, back of a length delivery and wide of off, Root hangs back and cuts it late towards the third man fence, Root looked tentative in the first few deliveries he played, looks more settled now

48.0 - Matt Henry to Cook, FOUR, short and asking to pull, Cook was waiting and he middles the pull behind square on the on-side, unlike yesterday, Cook has looked in sublime touch today

47.1 - Matt Henry to J Root, FOUR, that's a gift from the bowler, back of a length on middle and leg, Root says thank you and flicks to deep mid wicket

46.4 - Craig to Cook, FOUR, that is a fine shot. It wasn't very short on the stumps, but Cook rocked back and played the short-arm pull wide of mid-wicket, middled it and raced away. Immediately Craig is under pressure

46.3 - Craig to Cook, FOUR, this time he doesn't miss out. Another short delivery outside off, Cook cuts hard and picks the gap at point, beats the chasing fielder. Too easy and now England are into the lead

43.4 - Matt Henry to J Root, FOUR, that's in Root's zone and he will not miss out on those, this was short and had enough width to cut, Root cuts hard to deep backward point and gets a boundary

42.5 - Corey Anderson to Cook, FOUR, you can't bowl there to Cook, short and wide, Cook middled the cut and the ball races square of the wicket in a flash

41.1 - Southee to J Root, FOUR, length delivery outside off, Root sits back and punches it behind square on the off-side, gets a four

38.3 - Matt Henry to Cook, leg byes, FOUR, back of a length on middle and leg, Cook was late on the pull as the ball brushes the thigh pad and races away

31.1 - Boult to J Root, FOUR, fabulous off-drive from Root. Stand and deliver from Root. Swinging in but he got forward and drove it on the rise, held the pose too. Free flowing stroke

30.4 - Southee to Cook, FOUR, swinging down leg, Cook glances fine and gives fine leg no chance. Played it well

30.0 - Boult to Cook, FOUR, first runs of the morning. On a good length and outside off, Cook gets forward and opens the face of the bat to steer it through the gully region. The ball beats the chasing fielders

23.1 - Boult to Cook, FOUR, not a good ball from Boult, this one was down the leg-side, Cook connects well with the glance and sends it to the fine leg fence

13.0 - Matt Henry to Bell, FOUR, in the air but no harm done! This was full and invites the batsman to drive outside off, Bell's eyes lit up seeing the length and width on offer, he drives it uppishly square of the wicket and the ball runs away to the fence in no time. The bowler thought that he had a chance there but Bell placed it well in the gap

12.0 - Southee to Bell, FOUR, that's a beautiful shot from Bell, this was pitched up well outside off, Bell leans into the drive and creams it through the vacant extra cover region, the ball hurries across the turf and crashes into the fence

9.5 - Southee to Bell, FOUR, full and wide, Bell goes for the drive off the front foot, he gets a thick outside edge as the ball flies over the slip cordon and in to the third man fence

8.0 - Southee to Bell, FOUR, full delivery and width on offer, Bell gets forward and goes for the big drive through the off-side, gets an outside edge and the ball flies to the left of backward point, runs away to the fence in no time

3.5 - Southee to Cook, FOUR, risky shot but gets the desired result, this was banged in short and at the batsman, Cook goes for the hook and gets a fat top-edge, the ball flies to the fine leg fence. The fielder in the deep was square and had no chance of stopping that

2.1 - Boult to Lyth, FOUR, short delivery and Lyth had enough width to free his arms, Lyth hangs back and cuts it in front of square on the off-side, the ball crashes into the fence in no time

0.5 - Boult to Lyth, FOUR, back of a length delivery and Lyth had enough width to sit back and punch it square of the wicket, good shot from the debutant
