Darrell Hair is under great scrutiny as he umpires his first Test since the forfeited England v Pakistan match at The Oval in 2006 Ryan Sidebottom opens England's bowling attack with tidy figures of five overs, three maidens, seven runs for no wickets New Zealand make steady progress with 61 runs from the first 15 overs and Jamie How scoring 40 from 48 balls England get their first wicket - Sidebottom appeals for lbw without realising he has clean-bowled Aaron Redmond, already walking In his next over Sidebottom takes James Marshall's wicket, lbw, for a duck, and the tourists head to lunch 92-2 Jamie How's impressive innings is curtailed after lunch as he is caught behind by Tim Ambrose, off James Anderson, for 64 Monty Panesar drifts one across Brendon McCullum's bat and Paul Collingwood takes a smart catch to leave New Zealand on 123-4 Daniel Flynn loses a tooth and retires hurt after a short delivery from Anderson on an unpredictable pitch crashes through his helmet grille Another short delivery from Anderson bounces up, this time dealing Jacob Oram a crack on the helmet Two beautiful fours off Anderson - one off-side drive, one square cut - bring up Ross Taylor's half-century, 53 from 52 balls Taylor bats with control against both spin and pace, and is 67 not out as bad light ends play on day one with the Black Caps 202-4
