Oh dear gawd, it looks like we may have a repeat of the incompetence of the Australian Tour non-selection of Southee: Boult has said he will be available for the second test but the imbecile who is our current coach (A real Buggin's Turn appointment if ever there was) has stated that Boult is unavailable and won't be selected. Can someone please put Gary Stead out of our collective misery please?

It's a miracle the players put up with him at all

It’s been a long time since we’ve been the Black Craps. I stand by my post.

I'm going to bed at 116-3. If it is worse when I watch the rest tomorrow I will make room in my cellar for you, which is actually a wine fridge. I will cut you up to fit you in it though.

If you have the opportunity can you a) arrange for Gary stead to have an unfortunate accident on any steps b) get one of the journos there to really go after him about his mixed signals on selection and link it back to the Aussie tour fuckup

144/3 at tea. Very slow over rate. England probably happier of the two teams.

Devon Conway makes a Century in his debut test at Lords.

Black caps 200-3

The Daily Mail have found some racist and sexist tweets by Ollie Robinson (from 9 years ago when he was 18) that the ECB won't be happy about:

England have taken the 2nd new ball. 233-3

[TeWaio]

at 132* Conway has highest debutant score at Lords ever, well done that man

[sparky]

Close of play. NZ 246-3. Conway 136*

Is this the least surprising debut century in NZ test history? Has to be .

[sparky]

Grafting, controlling, calm innings by Conway. Played the situation wonderfully.

Latham, Williamson and Taylor all got in, never got in their groove, then got out.

Wonderful Conway. Welcome to test cricket.

Robinson apologises for racist and sexist tweets:

It's official. Devon Conway is a run scoring machine at all levels in all forms of the game

[MN5]

A ton at Lords is a fairly decent way to start a test career I have to say

[Siam]

It's a funny old thing to awake bleary eyed and fumble fingers on the cricinfo app. You're never quite sure how your day will start

Well done lads, couldn't really have asked for more.

[Machpants]

So we've won the final, right?
