Did the black caps get on the piss last night? Very sluggish start

Not too bad. First 10 overs was tough. 8-1 off 10 overs. Now 56-1 off 22 overs. Last 12 overs have been 4 an over.

Bangles over rate is pretty bad.

[booboo]

66 for 1 at lunch.

Would suggest we slightly ahead given they won the toss.

After watching the Ashes seeing Conway and Young dig in like that for the first ten overs against some quality bowling was enjoyable.

Technique will always trump so called glamour

Young having a lucky day 2 lives already.

[Damo]

There is something magnificent about Conway isn't there? He looks in so much control when he's batting.

[Crazy Horse]

Young lost concentration there. Very slow to turn around.

[Damo]

That's a shame. Young was a bit slow to react.

Be good to see Taylor score some runs now.

He does, but he seems to sometimes defend outside the off stump by hanging his bat there. The better bowlers will pepper that if he is not careful.

147/2 at tea, solid so far.

Marvellous standing ovation for Sir Ross Taylor when he walked out to bat.

Good thing I spent most of the day at the ground, as the Shithouse Spark Sport app has lagged several times in the ten minutes since we’ve been home.

[Crazy Horse]

Jeez that Taylor dismissal was bloody close to a no ball. Hope they are checking it behind the scenes.

Nicholls looking like he's not going to last long.

Standard but he’s very good despite this

Rides his luck a lot. At least last year he did.

Bowling first on a green surface, a spinner should not have 27 overs in a day.

I see a comment in the Cricinfo feed that these two are probably under the most pressure in the NZ line-up, but with Rossco's impending departure, I think that pressure is pretty minimal. Henry has had a short lean sequence, but right now he's still averaging fractionally under 40 for past 12 months, and we don't drop people with that form (let's face it - someone with a career average of 39 will probably make our all-time second XI).

Mitch Jr. might be slightly unlucky in his timing.

Blundell goes....
