10.45am: Looking back
Rory Burns has reflected on his knock of 81 yesterday and he spoke to Sky Sports at the close about his form, which includes a first-innings 132 in the first Test at Lord's and seven fifties in 10 Championship innings this season. That came after he lost his place in the Test side on England's recent tour of India. Here's what he had to say:
"It's been quite a quite a tough day of Test cricket, it's been pretty even there by the end, I think Dan [Lawrence] has played really well there and in that latter part of the day, probably got us back to scrapping away quite nicely so there's a there's something in that surface for everyone.
"It's probably swung a little bit more for them after lunch, and whether that's conditions over top or on the surface we'll see.
"I felt good, my rhythm's felt good coming from county cricket and into this environment. I've felt in a good place in summer, which is pleasing. It's nice to be able to get in there and get in amongst it."
10.00am: Dan's the man
Welcome back to the our coverage of the second Test at Edgbaston and all eyes will be on Dan Lawrence, England's No. 7 playing his seventh Test and unbeaten on 67. From a home perspective, England want to see how many more he can add to their score of 258 for for 7 with Mark Wood not out 16 and Stuart Broad and James Anderson to come. Lawrence will be the main wicket New Zealand are focused on prising out on this second morning before getting stuck into the tail.
Higher up the order, England have some concerns, as explained by George Dobell while Matt Roller writes that New Zealand showed their impressive strength in depth in making six changes to the side which drew at Lord's and three of the bowlers who came in - Trent Boult, Matt Henry and Ajaz Patel - claiming two wickets apiece so far.
