    Even by England's standards it's been an extraordinary first hour.

  2. NZ 377-8

    Is that off the bat?

    The runs have been given to Glenn Phillips, moving him into the 90s, but I think Matthew Fisher's delivery might have simply clipped the batter's helmet before flying over James Rew for four.

    The last time an England spinner took more wickets than Jacob Bethell's three in the first innings of an Oval Test was Derek Underwood in 1969.

  4. NZ 373-8

    Jacob Bethell for another - Glenn Phillips takes a leg side single off the spinner's first ball and Matt Henry plays out the rest of the over without scoring.

  5. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Jofra Archer's still limbering up

  6. NZ 372-8

    Glenn Phillips faces all of Matthew Fisher's over, hammering a pull for four.

    One more single off the pads takes Phillips to 88 - that's his highest Test score, and sees him retain the strike.

    Marion the GOAT doing good work at 12:08. If you fancy talking about England winning the football World Cup, we're all ears.

    Tom, Oxford

    Was at the ground yesterday. This is a good wicket for batting, made more difficult by the morning rain. That New Zealand are scoring should not be a surprise. This match is yet to show its true face.

    Matt, London

    It’s crying out for Rehan Ahmed to be picked as a spinning all rounder to put some balance into the team.

    Andy, Northampton

  8. NZ 367-8

    Matt Henry comes to the crease for New Zealand.

    He doesn't score off the remaining three balls of Jacob Bethell's over.

    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Jamieson's played a good hand for New Zealand. Interesting to see if he comes out and bowls because those hits to the helmet were quite brutal.

    WICKET

    Jamieson b Bethell 41 (NZ 367-8)

    Jacob Bethell's golden arm!

    Marion from Norfolk has the knowledge, with England's part-time spinner taking a wicket three balls after the drinks break.

    A big attempted hoick from Kyle Jameson into the leg side and he's cleaned up - a partnership of 87 comes to an end.

    Wicket coming, can anyone else feel it?

    Marion, Norfolk

    What I find astonishing is that with six bowlers in the team, none of them are good enough to prevent a big partnership for the EIGHTH wicket!

    Jonathan, Doncaster

    This is exactly why Joe Root was removed from the captaincy - naive tactics to put it mildly.

    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Jofra Archer bowled an eight over spell last night and I thought at the time, it's a lot of overs to be bowling on day one when you haven't played a lot of cricket.

    We haven't seen him bowl in the first hour. England's most potent weapon is yet to bowl a ball on day two. He's out there so I've no idea why Jofra's not bowled this morning.

    It's put New Zealand in a strong position.

    PitchViz this Test (higher is tougher for batting):

    • Day 1 - 5.0
    • Day 2 - 2.9

    Looks a bit Stokesless, doesn't it?

  15. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    It's been a little bit of chaos out there. Yesterday was a calm day for English cricket and now it's gone back to chaos.

  16. Jeremy Coney
    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    That's a very good shot. It's leg side of where Jamieson's taking up his stance and the sumps are all exposed just so he can heave it away.

  17. NZ 365-7

    Phillips 80, Jamieson 33

    A first sight of Matthew Fisher today, replacing Josh Tongue. He took 1-45 from 19 overs yesterday.

    Kyle Jamieson steps away to the seamer's fourth delivery and rather casually lifts it for four over mid-on.

    We're halfway through the session, and the players will take drinks. It's been New Zealand's hour - they've scored 74 runs off 12 overs, without the loss of a wicket.

    As a Surrey member who has seen about 20 draws at The Oval in the last few years...people need to relax. England should get 600 batting Day two and three. And I expect New Zealand to bat again for days four and five.

    Jaylo, London

    New Zealand 400+, England all out for under 200. Heard it all before. Shambles.

    Alex, Tunbridge Wells

    England are going to have to look to only bat once now having let New Zealand get this many. Lots of pressure on new faces to get a big score on the board.

    Josh, Pateley Bridge

  19. NZ 357-7

    Only one run off Jacob Bethell's over.

    Just the third of 11 today without a boundary.

  20. Jeremy Coney
    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Very frustrating for England. There's not much in this surface now for the seamers. It doesn't seem to be gripping.
