| England make spirited response to New Zealand's 277 |
England finally injected some life into a deathly slow second day's play at Lord's with Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss trotting to an opening stand of 68. With three breaks for bad light - the fourth, terminal - it was a thermals and thermos day for the diehards, but England made a solid start in reply to New Zealand's 277 to give hope of resuscitating the match.

| McCullum bravado takes sheen off England's day |
New Zealand's batsmen fought with typical determination and resolve on a bitterly cold second morning at Lord's, managing to lose just one wicket -Jacob Oram for 28 - to further frustrate England's seamers. The contrast between the morning session today - 52 runs in 30 overs - and Brendon McCullum's fearless assault yesterday could not have been starker.
