    The England players get into a huddle before taking their positions. They need to produce something special to drag themselves back into this game.

    It will be a huge effort for the seamers, who already have three-and-a-half sessions on the clock in this match. Shoaib Bashir will probably get a twirl at some point this session.

    Matthew Potts will open the bowling.

    Tactic for playing England is to bring in your spinner mid series.

    What an afternoon session that was.

    England began on 54-2, but an aggressive spell from Will O'Rourke did for Jacob Bethell, Joe Root and Harry Brook - the latter for a golden duck.

    Ollie Pope and Ben Stokes began the rebuild, but Tom Latham's decision to bring on the left-arm spin of Mitchel Santner was inspired.

    Santner removed both in the space of three balls to spark a stunning collapse, with Brydon Carse, Matthew Potts and Shoaib Bashir falling cheaply as England lost five wickets for just nine runs to stumble to 143 all out.

    New Zealand will stride out after tea with a hefty lead of 204 runs and in total control of this Test match.

    Thanks, Mike.

    This is certainly the time for the diehards - we have reached the middle of the night and England are in deep trouble.

    Let's push on through together.

    Well, fair to say England have a lot of work to do if they're to stand even the smallest chance of getting anything out of this match.

    To see if they can strike back after tea, here's Tom Mallows.

    Potts c Phillips b Henry 1 (Eng 143 all out)

    Tea's not delayed for long - England's innings is done and dusted.

    Matty Potts is the man to go, going for a the big shot off Henry and skewing the ball into the air at backward point, where Glenn Phillips takes a decent catch running back.

    England walk off trailing the hosts by 204, their innings lasting not much more than a session.

  8. Eng 143-9published at 35 overs

    Shoaib Bashir is last man out for England - a penny for his thoughts, he didn't get a bowl in the New Zealand innings.

    He knocks Santner towards point to get off the mark.

    Meanwhile tea has been delayed because England are nine down.

  9. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 34.2 overs

    Carse c & b Santner 1 (Eng 141-9)

    It's clean!

    Carse advances and the ball scuds up off the pitch, straight onto the bottom of the bat and is taken by Santner, moving to his left.

    A third wicket for Santner, for the cost of just five runs - maybe New Zealand should have played him in the first two Tests...

  10. Umpire reviewpublished at 34.2 overs

    "Howzat?" asks Mitch Santner tentatively as Brydon Carse chips the ball back at him.

    No-one seems quite sure if that was a bump ball - the umpires are going to take a look.

    Things are bubbling up nicely on day two of the third Test between Australia and India from the Gabba.

    After slipping to 44-2 early on, things got even worse for the hosts when Marnus Labuschagne edged a Nitish Kumar Reddy to Virat Kohli at second slip to depart for 12, leaving Australia wobbling on 75-3.

    Steve Smith and Travis Head are attempting a rebuilding job, with Pat Cummins' side currently 104-3.

    You can listen to commentary from that match here.

  12. Eng 141-8published at 34 overs

    New batter Matty Potts sees the final delivery of Henry's over beat his bat.

  13. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 33.5 overs

    Atkinson c Santner b Henry 4 (Eng 141-8)

    And now Santner gets a catch!

    Henry's delivery possibly holds in the pitch a little a Atkinson simply pops the ball in the air to mid-on, where Santner takes the grab stumbling forward.

    This England innings seems to be coming to a rather rapid conclusion.

  14. Eng 137-7published at 33 overs

    There's another lbw appeal as Brydon Carse is struck deep in his crease.

    The umpire says no, with height the likely issue. Tom Latham isn't interested in the review.

  15. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 32.1 overs

    Stokes lbw b Santner 27 (Eng 137-7)

    No reprieve for Ben Stokes. Four reds, with the ball going on to hit the top of leg stump. The England skipper has to depart, leaving England in deep trouble.

  16. England reviewpublished at 32.1 overs

    And it might just have got trickier.

    Ben Stokes goes for a huge sweep off Mitchell Santner and the ball cannons into his front pad.

    The finger goes up - but Stokes reviews.

  17. Eng 137-6published at 32 overs

    Three singles come off the next Matt Henry's next over, though New Zealand have their tails up.

    This is turning into a tricky session for England.

  18. Eng 134-6published at 31 overs

    Gus Atkinson studiously defends the final ball of Santner's over.

    A reminder that New Zealand's last three wickets added 116 to their total - can England's tail offer a similar performance?

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 30.5 overs

    Pope c Mitchell b Santner 24 (Eng 134-6)

    Maybe we should have seen spin a little earlier?

    Santner has a wicket with his fifth delivery as Pope edges into the waiting hands of Daryl Mitchell at slip.

    The foundations of an England rebuild take a blow.

  20. Eng 133-5published at 30.1 overs

    After 127.1 overs in this Test, we have our first sight of spin.

    Mitchell Santer replaces Southee, and Stokes greets the New Zealand all-rounder by reverse sweeping his first ball for four.

    That's the fifty partnership.
