End of a fine knock from the newest member of the England Test team. That brings the highest scorer from the first innings, Harry Brook, out to the middle now. Also, Will O'Rourke comes back into the attack.

Nathan Smith to Emilio Gay, OUT! CAUGHT! A fine innings from Emilio Gay comes to an end. Nathan Smith bowls it on a length, just outside off, with a hint of away movement. Emilio Gay stays in his crease and loosely pokes at it. The ball kisses the outside edge of Gay's bat and goes behind towards the keeper, Tom Blundell, who makes no mistake.

Halt! Nathan Smith is not happy with the landing area. He is trying to flatten it by scratching his boot at it, but is still not convinced. Now, one of the ground staff comes out with the rammer and smacks a few times, which seems to have done the job. We are good to go again.

DRINKS! England have extended their lead to 148 runs in the first hour or so of this session. Leading the way is the debutant, who notched up a fine maiden fifty and is looking in fine touch. New Zealand only managed to pick up one wicket in this phase, but it should have been more. They did not take a review for an LBW call, which was out, and then Devon Conway dropped a sitter. Catching has been an issue for them in this game, and that has cost them dearly. The Kiwis will hope that they can pick up a couple of wickets before Tea as the pitch still has plenty for the bowlers to exploit. A few dark clouds are hovering over Lord's as well, but we hope that the rain stays away.

Kyle Jamieson to Joe Root, Kyle attacks the pads and gets the ball to tail in on a fuller length. Joe Root's head falls over while attempting the flick shot. He plays over it and is struck on the front pad. A muted appeal for LBW, but nothing doing.

Kyle Jamieson to Joe Root, Hits the deck very hard, does Jamieson, on top of off. Root hops back and blocks it to the off side.

Kyle Jamieson to Joe Root, Shaping away ever so slightly, outside off, Root lets it be.

Kyle Jamieson to Joe Root, FOUR! Edged, but through! Touch full and around off. Joe Root is drawn forward to block but the ball straightens up and takes the outside edge. Root is known for playing the ball right under the eyes, and he does so on this occasion as well. Plays with soft hands and the ball scoots through the turf, to the right of the diving second slip fielder for a boundary.

An expensive return into the attack for Nathan Smith. England are putting themselves in a commanding position in this game now.

Nathan Smith to Emilio Gay, FOUR! Elegance written all over it! Full again by Nathan, on the pads. Emilio Gay uses his wrists and flicks it along the ground, and through the mid on and mid-wicket gap for a boundary.

Nathan Smith to Emilio Gay, FIFTY FOR EMILIO GAY! A perfect venue to bring up his maiden Test fifty. The crowd at Lord's cheers for this brilliant knock from the debutant, who is growing in confidence on a difficult pitch. Fuller and swinging in from middle.

Nathan Smith to Emilio Gay, Two is the call and they will get it. On a back of a length, on off, Emilio Gay lets the ball nip away and then eases it through backward point and hurries back for the second.

That kept way too low. Really unfortunate for Jacob Bethell, but he has to walk back. Joe Root walks in at number 4.

Matt Henry to Jacob Bethell, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Very little could Bethell do about this pea-roller. Henry comes from around the stump, lands this around off, on a good length. It lands on the seam and jags back in and also stays underground, barely rising at knee height. It outfoxes Bethell completely, who draws his bat in front to block, but is squared up. The ball sneaks below the blade and crashes into the off pole behind him. Bethell did work really hard out there, but has to walk back. Henry has a wicket to his name and England are 99/2, leading by 126.

Matt Henry to Jacob Bethell, Angled into the batter, Bethell nudges the length ball to wide mid-wicket.

Matt Henry to Jacob Bethell, Nips away now, full and around off. Jacob gets on the front foot to defend, but gets a fat outside edge. Since he plays it with soft hands, the ball goes through the floor, between second slip and gully for a couple of runs.
