Play resumed at Lord's on Sunday with the first Test between England and New Zealand finely poised.
England began 205 ahead on 180-6, having lost four wickets for just 12 runs late on day three.
New Zealand then bowled the hosts out for 213, leaving them with a modest target of 239.
However, Stuart Broad and James Anderson provided a bowling masterclass to dismantle the tourists' batting attack inside 22 overs, as England won by 170 runs.
Read how the action unfolded below with Sports Mole's blow-by-blow text coverage.
The sky above Lord's is clear and the forecast suggests that it will remain that way. Play will resume as scheduled 11am.
However, with the chance of rain on day five, England will aiming to post a decent total and then make inroads into the tourists' batting this afternoon.
Leading England's bowling attack will be Graeme Swann. The pitch looks almost perfect for the offspinner, with dusty areas and plenty of natural wear.
First though, it will be up to Ian Bell and Steven Finn to attempt to add runs to England's tally.
Finn made six of 14 balls yesterday, while Bell, who is suffering from tonsillitis, is yet to face a delivery in this innings.
INJURY UPDATE: BJ Watling will feature today. Meanwhile, Bruce Martin has a calf injury and cannot bowl or field. However, the 33-year-old Kiwi will bat if required.
The Bookmakers still have England as firm favourites to win the first Test. William Hill are offering a best price of 4/9 on a home victory, while New Zealand can be backed at 10/3 with Coral. Despite slight concern over the weather on Monday, the draw, which is available at 10-1 with Sportingbet, is still considered a long shot.
PREDICTION:10-1 looks like extremely good value for the draw, but I do fancy England and I think the hosts will secure victory just before tea tomorrow.
There will be 90 overs today and the first will be bowled by Tim Southee. The ball is 59 over's old and Bell is on strike.
Bell gets off the mark with a well-timed cover drive for three. The outfield looks very slow.
WICKET: Nightwatchman Finn perishes on six as he is caught at slip by sub fielder Martin Guptill, who takes a good two-handed catch down low.
Stuart Broad replaces Finn. The Nottinghamshire man is on a king pair, so we may see a bit of nervousness from him.
OVER 60: Four runs, one wicket. Broad gets off the mark straight away with a single to conclude the over.
FOUR:Trent Boult comes into the attack and immediately gets hit to the boundary, as Broad connects with a thick edge through gully.
OVER 61: Four runs, no wicket.
Southee comes back into the attack.
FOUR: Broad cuts lose and plays a back foot cover drive that races away through the offside for four.
OVER 62: 10 runs, no wicket.
England reach 200 as Broad takes the aerial route into space and is rewarded with an easy two.
OVER 63: Two runs, no wicket.
WICKET: Bell (6) gets caught attempting to drive down the ground. Full ball from Southee. It swings and Bell's mishit shot carries to Dean Brownlie at third slip. Easy take.
Swann replaces Bell and then defends or leaves his first four.
OVER 64: Impressive wicket maiden from Southee.
BOUNDARIES: Broad (22) continues his aggressive approach, as he cracks two fours in three deliveries.
OVER 65: Eights runs, no wicket.
Swann is now looking to go aggressive and is starting to swing at everything. So far, he has had little success, but he gets off the mark with a single off the final ball of the over.
OVER 66: One run, no wicket.
Kane Williamson comes into the attack as New Zealand turn to spin. Swann connects well with two sweeps, but both are stopped by the man at backward square leg. No runs.
OVER 67: No run, no wicket.
WICKET: Southee has his sixth victim of the innings and his 10th of the match. His wide delivery does a bit off the seam and bamboozles Swann (1), who is easily caught by behind by McCullum.
James Anderson is in next and will face the strike straight away. Southee will fancy his chances of dismissing the tail-ender within that time frame.
OVER 68: One run, one wicket. Anderson hangs on in there with three dot balls. Williamson will now return for New Zealand.
WICKET: Anderson perishes with a stupid shot. He takes on Williamson out of the rough and is comfortably caught by Southee in the covers. It's been a poor morning for England, who are ALL OUT FOR 213. Broad finishes on 26*.
New Zealand now require 239 to win. That would be the biggest score of the match so far - by seven runs - but it is very achievable, especially considering the timeframe.
Earlier I said that the draw was good value for a bet at 10-1. I was wrong! In fact, SkyBet are now offering 80-1. Favourites England are a best price of 8/15 at Ladbrokes, while New Zealand are a tempting 19/10 with Sportingbet.
Hamish Rutherford and Peter Fulton will open for the Black Caps. The latter will Anderson, who has the new ball in hand.
OVER 1: One run, no wicket. Decent start from Anderson, who is disciplined with his length. However, the final delivery of the over drifts marginally off line and Fulton picks it, squeezing it through the legside for a single.
WICKET: It looks like England's sloppy batting is contagious! Broad bowls full and wide. It should have been an easy leave for Fulton, but he slashes at it and is deservedly caught by Matt Prior.
Williamson, who made a solid 60 in the first innings, is next to the crease.
OVER 2: One run, one wicket. Kane looks in good nick as he defends his first two deliveries, before taking a smart single off the final ball to retain the strike.
OVER 3: No run, no wicket. Great stuff from Anderson, who serves up an impressive maiden. Fantastic start by England.
BOUNDARIES: Rutherford gets off the mark with a attractive shot through cover for four. He then doubles his tally with an edge through the slips.
OVER 4: Eight runs, no wicket.
Williamson continues to impress. He produces a tasty cover drive for two, before scoring a further three with a drive through the offside.
OVER 5: Six runs, no wicket.
WICKET: Rutherford (9) is gone, clean bowled by Broad! Fantastic ball, which pitches on leg, seams away beyond the batsmen's stabbing effort and emphatically removes off stump.
Ross Taylor made 66 off 72 balls in the first innings. He is in next and will be on strike against Broad.
WICKET: Taylor is out for a second ball duck! Broad bowls quick in the channel. It skips up off the surface and Taylor flicks into the hands of Alastair Cook at first slip.
Broad has racked up three for nine off 15 balls. Those impressive figures have put England right on top. New Zealand require 223 to win. That will be tricky with just seven wickets in hand.
FOUR: Brownlie comes to the crease and gets off the mark third ball with a lucky edge for four.
OVER 6: Four runs, two wickets.
OVER 7: No runs, no wicket. Another maiden over from Anderson at the Pavilion end.
Brownlie is really struggling to deal with Broad's speed and hostility.
OVER 8:One run, no wicket. Brownlie manages to scrape a single of the final ball.
OVER 9: No runs, no wicket. Yet another maiden from Anderson. He isn't quite getting the amount of movement that Broad is, but he is bowling superbly nevertheless.
WICKET: Big wicket as Williamson is caught by Finn. A full ball from Broad turns away off the ground and Williamson plays a loose drive straight to mid-off.
Williamson made just six of 24 balls. New Zealand are reeling.
The main man, Brendon McCullum, is on his way to the middle. If anyone can turn the game in New Zealand's favour, it is he!
FOUR: McCullum powerfully deposits his first ball through point to the fence for four. He isn't messing about!
OVER 10: One wicket, four runs.
WICKET: Anderson joins the party to dismiss Brownlie for five. He changes tact to deliver an inswinger that finds the outside edge and carries to Cook in the slips.
OVER 11: One wicket, no runs.
McCullum, who is New Zealand's last hope here, cracks a superb shot through the offside for four.
REVIEW: McCullum is in trouble. Broad produces another beauty that swings in and raps the dangerman on the pads. The umpire raises his finger, but McCullum calls for a review. It looked out to me, but McCullum is justified to contest it because, if he is out, this is game over.
WICKET: The original decision is upheld, as Hawk Eye shows that the delivery was just about in line, and McCullum is gone for eight off six.
LUNCH McCullum is followed off the field by a jubilant England, who are well in charge here a Lord's.
New Zealand trail by 209 with just four wickets remaining.
What a fascinating first 11.4 overs. Broad has bowled 34 balls, gone for 22 runs and taken five wickets.
At the other end, Anderson's six overs have gone for just seven runs and he has picked up one wicket.
Well, all the talk was about Swann at the start of the day, but the spinner may not even get a chance to bowl if the seamers continue to do the business.
It has definitely been Broad's day so far. Before his outstanding exploits with the ball, the 26-year-old made an unbeaten 26 off 25 balls with the bat, while England wickets tumbled around him.
The injured Kevin Pietersen is on his way to the ground to be spectator. He has tweeted: "Nearly at Lords.. The drive to watch certainly isn't the same as to play! But, hasn't the last hour been great? #ENGvNZ." He better hurry up if he wanta to see some play. This could be over very quickly.
New Zealand are in desperate need of inspiration and I would strongly recommend that they seek it from Bonnie Tyler's Eurovision entry. They need to believe...
The lunch spread has been demolished and the players are back out for the second session. Broad has two balls left to bowl in this 12th over. Southee is on strike.
Southlee cuts away a cheeky single into the leg side. Good shot, but you can see the fear in the batsmen's eyes.
OVER 12: Five runs, no wicket.
The lowest ever Test innings total at Lord's was 42 all out, set by India in 1974.
England continue with pace, as Anderson prepares to bowl the 13th over.
Anderson gives Southee a vicious bouncer, which the batsman unconvincingly gloves to beyond gully for a single.
FOUR:Watling gets off the mark, as snicks the ball past the slips for four.
OVER 13: Five runs, no wicket.
Broad is looking so dangerous and, with Southee attempting to play at every ball, another wicket is surely just around the corner.
OVER 14: One run, no wicket.
OVER 15: Five runs, no wicket.
DROPPED: The edge of Southee's bat floats the ball straight to Anderson at slip, but he puts down an easy chance, much to Broad's frustration. Southee's wicket is living a charmed life.
WICKET: Southee's luck expires and he goes next ball for just seven, as Broad claims his sixth wicket of the day. A bouncer is hit way up in the air, before dropping kindly for Joe Root at deep square-leg.
Bruce Martin is padded up and WILL bat in this innings. That is a slight surprise, as he is carrying an injury and this match appears to be over.
FOUR: A rare poor ball from Broad is spanked for four by Watling.
OVER 16: Seven runs, one wicket.
OVER 17: One run, no wicket. Good stuff from Anderson.
FOUR: Facing his 10th delivery, Neil Wagner finally records some runs, as he connects sweetly with a shot ball to find the rope.
OVER 18: Five runs, no wicket.
I think we may be seeing the first signs that Broad is tiring. Perhaps, it is time to toss the ball to Finn, who is yet to bowl today.
WICKET: Anderson takes his second wicket, as his pacy delivery swings away late and catches the edge from Watling (13). Smart catch from Trott at third slip.
The departed Watling is the only batsman to reach double figures for New Zealand so far today.
Martin is next to the crease. He had said that he would only play in an emergency scenario... I guess that this qualifies!
OVER 19: No runs, one wicket.
SIX: It's the first maximum of the day and it's provided by Wagner. More evidence to suggest that Broad needs a break.
OVER 20: seven runs, no wicket.
OVER 21: seven runs, no wicket.
England have still only used the two bowlers in this innings. If Anderson and Broad continue and take two more wickets, it will be first time since 1936 that England have bowled a team out using just two bowlers.
WICKET: Martin is dismissed for one. He swings at a straight Broad delivery, but misses and his stumps are destroyed. Boult is on his way to the crease.
WICKET: It's all over! The New Zealand capitulation is complete. Wagner skies a shot that falls safe, but the batsmen decide that they've had enough and provide the most embarrassing of run outs. Cook throws to Anderson, who casually removes to bails to dismiss Wagner for 17.
England win by 170 runs.
Wagner's knock of 17 off 24 made him the Black Caps' top scoring batsmen in the second innings. Watling (13 off 24) was the only other individual to reach double figures.
Broad took seven wickets and conceded 44 runs from 11 overs, while Anderson claimed two wickets and went for just 23 off 11.3.
Thank you for joining Sports Mole for today's action from Lord's. Be sure to return on Friday May 24 when the second Test begins at Headingley.
