Harry Brook pulls powerfully out to deep mid-wicket to end the over but there is a fielder out there, so he has to settle for a single.

Steady start to the evening session.

It was pad first as Harry Brook went tentatively forward to defend.

The issue was the impact and that is shown to be umpire's call.

Not good enough for New Zealand but at least they keep the review.

New Zealand have one review left and Tom Latham uses it on an lbw shout against Harry Brook.

Will O'Rourke resumes from the other end and shows there is still plenty of bounce in this pitch if you're willing to bend your back.

Joe Root tries to uppercut a ball that takes off but the bounce is too much and it sails through to Tom Blundell.

Gorgeous shot from Joe Root to get himself going after the break.

Too full from Nathan Smith and Root drives beautifully between the stumps and mid-on for four.

It sounds rather like the cricket resuming is going to curtail quite the show in Wellington.

But as Joe Root and Harry Brook head out to the middle, there is no sign of Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey or Bluey - shame.

Anyway, Nathan Smith will bowl the first over of the evening session.

Update. The entire cast of Shrek is out there, along with a small child dressed as Bluey.

We brought you a few quotes from Sportsday's interview with Martin Speight, a former professional cricketer who coached Harry Brook in his schooldays, at the start of the day.

Now Brook is at the crease - or will be after tea - here is a bit more about what he's had to say about England's burgeoning star...

"Everyone’s talented, everyone’s got technical skillsets but actually Test cricket and international cricket is all about the top five percent – how good are you under pressure?

"And Harry seems to be able to deal with it phenomenally well.

"The great thing with Harry is he asks for advice, you give him a bit he’ll then go and work his absolute socks off until he gets it right.

"That’s what he’s like, he doesn’t rest on his laurels. He wants to keeping getting better, keep perfecting, and keep scoring runs for England. That’s his ultimate is Test runs."

The tea-time entertainment are two blokes dressed as lobsters playing cricket with a giant chicken. Baffling.

I'm with you, Glyn. Not sure England will bat all of tomorrow but there is certainly no need to declare any time soon.

Hypothetically, if they bat until midway through the afternoon session tomorrow, the lead would be enormous.

Thanks, Mike.

England in complete control then and looking well on their way to victory just five sessions into the match.

I'm not so sure about a declaration, though. With more than three days left, just keep batting for now, surely?

Tomorrow's forecast has been mentioned - and it does look iffy - but even with a shortened day three, there are another two days to play with.

133 runs from 28 overs in the session, with England taking their lead to 370.

That's now comfortably past the highest successful chase in New Zealand - 348-5 by the West Indies in Auckland in 1969.

Will England look to accelerate to a declare-worthy total after tea? Here's Sam Drury to find out.

Oooof, Root gets another life facing O'Rourke, chopping the ball down then up and over his stumps.

Brook then makes room to club the final delivery of the session to the cover boundary, a scrambling fielders recovers and the England batters run three.

England's session, despite the disappointment of a pair of missed hundreds.

Just the small matter of Harry Brook for New Zealand to handle, then.

With England no longer looking to usher their batters to landmarks, will Brook and Root cut loose?

Not straight away, Brook faces four dot balls to close the over.

Root in the runs.

He gets a first four by turning O'Rourke through backward square, then adds another by guiding the ball to third, where Devon Conway fails to cut the boundary off.

Meanwhile a first-ball single moved Ben Duckett into the nineties.

Double ton up for England, as Ben Duckett punts the ball just short of Kane Williamson at cover and takes a single.

Prior to that, Joe Root got off the mark by knocking Southee through the same region, but was sent back by Duckett when he attempted to come back for a second run, having rather hastily advanced half way down the pitch.

A pause before the final ball of the over as O'Rourke seeks a replacement bowling boot.

Having donned a box-fresh one, he fires his delivery down the leg side, with Tom Blundell collecting impressively.
