Williamson moves closer to a century with calm authority, courtesy of three of singles from another unthreatening Rashid over. His innings has not been aggressive but it has been calm, composed and largely untroubled.

steve C lawley: If this match is lost it is when England failed to use all their overs.

Jon Evans: If England improve the fielding and reviewing we will be a top team. Drop too many chances and waste all reviews.

Another goes down as Taylor pulls fiercely off Wood straight to Ben Stokes at shortish midwicket but he is unable to hold on. It was straight out of the middle of the bat. A tougher chance than Buttler's, but a chance nonetheless.

Paul Farbrace watches on from the England dressing room, chewing away with an intense glare on his face. His team have satisfied his desire to play with a more attacking style but despite their best efforts they have come up against one of the global masters in the art of 50-over cricket.

"You can't get a good idea of Williamson's quality from his statistics. It's like saying Mozart wasn't a very good composer if you add up all his crotchets and quavers."

Rashid continues and tries a few of his tricks, including a googly, but doesn't get the wicket England so dearly need. Williamson almost gives a chance with a lofted drive into the deep of the off side, but it drops short of two sprinting fielders. 20 overs to go, 117 runs needed, with eight wickets in hand. Should be straightforward for the tourists.

Ian: The "Rashid should play in the Ashes" crowd have gone quiet. Sadly he bowls it way too slow, The Aussies will eat up his bowling.

Andrew Collon: Good to see a defeat or two has brought the moaning England followers back to #bbccricket.

"Morgan knows he's under pressure, he's got to conjure a wicket as he knows if they don't pick up a couple of wickets, the game is slipping away from them. That was a difficult chance for Buttler, but you've got to catch those. He went for it one-handed and out it slipped."

It is a good over from Wood. It deserved better. Had Buttler done his job properly it would have received better. As it is, New Zealand remain just two down and in firm control.

Jenny in Leeds: When does a brave new world become a misguided folly?

There is the chance. And it goes down. Wood nicks the outside edge of Taylor's bat and sends the ball at a catchable height for Buttler, but he goes with just the one hand and fails to grasp it. Heads in hands all round the ground.

"It's a long tail for New Zealand, so let's just wait and see what might happen. Rashid needs a nice over as Williamson is in control of him at the moment."

England need to hang in here and keep plugging away. One brings two and all that. Rashid tries his luck with a seventh over but Williamson has the measure of his Yorkshire colleague and dances down to punch narrow of mid-on for four. The shot of a world-class man on the top of his game.

The crowd are getting firmly behind Wood, who is giving it his all for his country in pursuit of a breakthrough. Williamson and Taylor are unruffled, though. They are well set at the crease and claim a single and double before Taylor flicks off his pads for four, to muttered concern from the crowd within the Bowl.

Surrey's T20 Blast game with Sussex at Arundel has been abandoned.

Surrey fielders Rory Burns and Moises Henriques have both been taken to hospital by ambulance, following lengthy treatment on the field, after the pair collided during the 19th over.

It has been announced at the ground that both players are conscious and sitting up, while it has also been reported that both players waved as they were lifted into their ambulances.

England think they have Taylor as he swings high on the pull to a short Wood ball. The fielders and bowler think he has nicked it. Umpire Tim Robinson doesn't, though, and England don't have a review to challenge it.

Thanks Mitch. I wish I was joining you in better circumstances for England. Taylor and Williamson have been a thorn in the Three Lions' paw for much of this series and they are taking this game away from them. They shared a 121-run partnership at the Oval on Friday and they have bettered that here, reaching 128 as Williamson rocks back to punch an aerial cut just past the diving Wood for four as part of a six-run over.

Williamson moves to 77 from 68 balls with a single, Taylor has 58 from 67.

And with New Zealand reaching the halfway stage of their innings (if it goes the distance), I can hand you to Phil Dawkes to see you through the rest of the game.

It's umpire's call for clipping leg stump - so the decision stays with on-field umpire Tim Robinson, who gets a "Robbo, well done, mate" from third umpire Steve Davis, and Williamson can resume his innings.

As the TMS commentators had suggested, England turn back to the extra pace of Mark Wood as they look for that all-important breakthrough. Steven Finn has to be alert to back up a throw and prevent a likely four overthrows.

Suddenly, England have a sniff - Williamson is hit on the pad by a full toss, the umpire shakes his head but England want a review...

After two overs for 12 from Root, England turn back to Adil Rashid as their front-line spinner, and there's a slip in which may cut out Williamson's "dab past the keeper" shot. The first ball of his new spell is a wide, but the Yorkshire leg-spinner does manage to rip one past Taylor's outside edge which will encourage him. Williamson finds the gap wide of mid-on but David Willey cuts it off and they run two - five from the over. But with a required rate of 5.73, that will do nicely.
