Green tinge has gone.
Grassy pitch might not break up, so OK for NZ to bat last.
NOOOO!!!! WARNE!!!!!!

Jimmy wants to get on with it 
I'm happy with that. Hit a few fours , and then get on with bowling. No point in just trying to occupy the crease.

MCC members popping champagne corks towards the cricket pitch, disgusting loutish behaviour.
How come these toffs are allowed to smuggle alcohol into the ground whilst the regular cricket fan can't?

Fun while it lasted . 389 is about what I expected to be honest. The wicket of Buttler last ball yesterday was quite a game changer - might well have made 450 plus but for that. Never mind : at 30/4 you'd snap up 389 any time.
Henry pretty useful debut with the ball. Wood at least out scored the other first gamer...(I know that isn't fair to Lyth ) but I'm more interested in seeing how he bowls...

Anyone can take booze in, if you can afford a ticket.
But yet, pretty thoughtless.

England recovered well, but they were 354-6, so maybe NZ did too.

Just had a browse on the Lords General Ground Regulations. Turns out you can bring up to a maximum of 2 pints up to 6% volume or a 75cl bottle up to 18% volume.

It's the only ground where you can take alcohol in. Or you're allowed to.
