Anderson goes round the wicket to the left-handed Craig, can one breakthrough bring two? Craig plays and misses a couple of times, it's a maiden over. Five overs left.

"Moeen Ali has not had much of a run recently. He bowled poorly in Barbados, which might have dented his confidence, and also Cook's confidence in him. At the moment, he doesn't seem to be able to keep an end going."

It's still Root on - Craig unleashes a sumptuous cover drive for four, though can't connect cleanly with a juicy pie Root serves up short and wide outside off stump. (You can't beat a Root pie. I'll get my coat). But he does help himself to a three to push the lead to 323.

"There are things that have got to be sorted out for England after this series. Catching is one, and the ability to tie an end down and restrict the scoring rate is another."

Dave in Bradford: Has there ever been a Test match where the score for the first THREE innings has been identical? Just wondering!

Andrew, do you have an answer?

England are through the wicketkeepers and into the bowlers now - Mark Craig is the new batsman, he shoulders arms to his first ball and is millimetres away from being bowled, but the left-hander is up and running with a single off his legs to end the over. Seven to come tonight if they can get them in by 19:23.

"Ronchi will be kicking himself, thinking, 'Why didn't I just smack it?' Can England, as New Zealand did last night, claim a few wickets now? It's difficult territory, but they are still in the game."

"That's a very important wicket for England. Ronchi is such a dangerous player for New Zealand. But New Zealand will keep pushing on, there's no doubt about that."

But then Anderson strikes - two-and-a-half days after his 401st Test wicket, his 402nd comes as he induces a rather tame, hesitant edge to the keeper from Ronchi.

For a brief instant, while 31 not out, Ronchi had the highest average in the history of Test cricket (119). It's now down to a manageable 59.5.

Send for the Burnley Express - James Anderson replaces Stokes, who's been rather expensive, and his introduction nearly forces an error as Ronchi nearly edges onto his stumps. Watling opens the face to steer a four past the slips to the vacant third man boundary - that's the fifty stand off only 40 balls.

"England are looking at a 350-plus chase. It's a slightly wearing pitch with a little bit of erratic bounce. Someone is going to have to play well for them. Is it going to be Cook, or Lyth, or Bell?"

Joe Root on for some more part-time off-spin, but Watling is in no mood to quieten down, shovelling a four between the keeper and leg slip to move to within 13 of his century.

"It's been a clever innings from Watling: he's found the gap all the time, just push-and-run, push-and-run, and he's hit a few boundaries too."

More easy accumulation - that's six from Ronchi as he launches Stokes over the ropes at mid-wicket and into about the fourth row of the stand. Two balls later, the Kiwi debutant swipes four more over third man to push the lead past the landmark figure of 300. Another loose delivery from Stokes is pummelled through extra cover for three, and the bowler shows his frustration by angrily throwing the ball at the stumps at the striker's end, despite there being no hope of a run-out.

"So far there's no question whose day it has been, despite England's little rally with the tail, and if New Zealand can get through the next 10 overs without losing another wicket then they hold the cards."

"If things go really well, New Zealand could have some fun tomorrow and set England 400 to win. Once you get a certain sense of security in the number of runs you've scored - say 330, 340 - you can have a party."

Watling moves effortlessly into the 80s as he slices Wood over gully for four, before a more careful prod to the cover sweeper brings him a single. Do they have honours boards at Headingley? If they do, the Durban-born right-hander could well be the next name painted on. Ronchi, though, nicks the strike with a cheeky single to deep mid-wicket.

"The outcome of this Test could all depend on the weather. If it's sunny like this, the ball seems to behave well. If there's cloud cover tomorrow, it will jag around."

Scrappy from Stokes, as Ronchi knocks the ball back to the bowler but Stokes can't field it cleanly and the ball scoots past the stumps as they scamper an unearned two. New Zealand basking in the evening sunshine, we're not too far away from the Longest Day so don't bank on bad light saving England tonight..
