5.5 OUT! TAKEN AT SLIPS! Matt Henry strikes again! This time he gets Ollie Pope who was looking in good touch. New Zealand set up the batter here.

The ball lobs off his gloves and Joe Root takes a dolly at first slip. An appeal is made and up goes the dreaded finger. Tom Latham though takes the review instantly. He thinks that iths comes off his arm guard. The third umpire goes through the replays several times. In the front-on vision it looks like it comes arm guard first, although, the side-on angle shows that the ball first comes in contact with the top of the glove. The third umpire asks the on-field umpire to stick with the original decision.  60/4

0.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! What a start from England! James Anderson draws first blood! He serves this touch fuller and on off,angling away this time, Devon Conway looks to defend, but the angle takes a thin outside edge towards the keeper where Ben Foakes pouches it safely.
