First Test day three photos

After five interruptions of bad light and rain on Friday, New Zealand and England hope for better weather on day three

But the start is delayed by rain, leaving England waiting nearly half-an-hour to resume their first innings

England women's captain Charlotte Edwards has the honour of ringing the bell for the start of play, which resumes just before 1130

Alastair Cook reaches 50 in the 40 minutes of play possible before rain curtails the morning session and an early lunch is taken

The entire afternoon session is lost as persistent light rain prevents any play, despite occasional inspections

The superb Lord's drainage may mean a long wait for spectators, as play could begin in quick succession if the rain ever abates

With the FA Cup final being shown on televisions around the ground, many fans desert their posts or watch the football on the big screens

But despite the best efforts of the Lord's ground staff, play is called off for the day at just before 1730 BST, and will resume on Sunday
