BAD LIGHT STOPPED PLAY - New Zealand cower at the sight of Jonathan Trott running in to bowl and take the light when offered it by the umpires. That should be that for the day.5/17/2013 5:41:40 PM

That's that for the day and New Zealand look well set to take a first innings lead here at Lord's, James Anderson has bowled well but he has not really been supported well by his fellow seamers and they have allowed New Zealand too many easy runs.England will be hoping for some early wickets tomorrow to get back in the game although signs of turn for Graeme Swann even on day two will be encouraging for them.All in all this game is fascinatingly poised. Join us again tomorrow for Day Three.5/17/2013 5:48:09 PM
