Yep agreed, looking forward to watching Sibley.

Might give this a watch for the first session - always something in it for the bowlers early on. NZ favourites for me

I expect a loss in the series, didn’t we get bowled out for 46 or something stupid last time we toured there..

It’s a long term project to build for the next ashes and try and bring some of these young players through so it’s going to be a rocky ride:

England have won the toss and will bat first.

Good line up. No arguments from me. Let's do this

Stupid decision to bat first surely...

Need a wicket

Looks a good pitch to bat on. Ergo we will be 180/8 at the close.

Erm, why?

Only 6th time team winning toss batting first in last 34 games... but based on first 25 mins here, maybe a good decision should england see out the first hour. Not your usual NZ pitch

That was out!!

Definitely nicked that

England are 61 for 1 at lunch, Sibley the man out. Burns is 35 not out. A decent start.

Solid, refreshing england innings.

Hopefully no quick collapse

Yeah but you could see that it was flat and had a good colour. Bat first every day.

Literally only switched over when first over was being bowled. Lookslike the call was spot on

It's the old cricketing adage....

win the toss...consider bowling for a minute...then bat

Not a bad start apart from Root....

Pleasing start from the batsmen. Just need to kick on tomorrow and turn this into something around the 400 mark.

Pleasantly surprised by the overnight score. Sounds like we showed some application for a change.

Need to convert it now.

Stokes gone for 91. Cracking catch, to be fair.
