Ben Stokes reckons he's got Colin de Grandhomme caught behind!
We're going upstairs.

Hello, Ben Stokes is indeed going to have a bowl. A back injury stopped him bowling in the first Test.
Jack Leach will take a rest, with respectable figures of 18-3-46-0.

Inside edge from BJ Watling as he tries to push James Anderson through the covers, but the ball ends up dribbling towards the vacant short leg area.
Anderson, looking a touch grouchy, bustles his way through a maiden.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialIt's going to be a bit darker here tomorrow evening, as the New Zealand clocks go back an hour tonight - but the start of play is only being brought forward half-an-hour.
Set your alarm clocks - from a UK perspective, TMS starts at 23:00 BST for the final three days, with play starting at 23:30.

Trail by 138
There's some dark clouds gathering behind the trees on one side of the ground. Sadly, my Christchurch weather knowledge isn't up to scratch, so I don't know if it's going to pass us by.
Colin de Grandhomme, meanwhile, pats his way through a Jack Leach maiden.

Ben Stokes is loosening up. Or he's trying to give Joe Root a not-so-subtle hint. He's doing quite a bit of stretching.
Colin de Grandhomme, meanwhile, contents himself with whacking a drive through the short cover fielder for a leisurely single.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThe reason certain fielding positions have become de rigeur, is because they work! Leach has one arm tied behind his back here - you need a short leg in.

Shot! The square leg umpire has to whip his head out of the way as BJ Watling sweeps Jack Leach over his head and away for four. That's a glorious strike from the Black Caps keeper.

Colin de Grandhomme marches off to short leg to have a word with himself after he's tempted into a big drive at James Anderson.
A shovel off the pads allows him and Watling to nab a single.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialWhen I was playing, if these tactics weren't working, Matt Prior would have said to Strauss or Cook by now that it wasn't working - and we should go back to bowling at the top of off stump. As a wicketkeeper, Prior used to see everything.

BJ Watling's trying to cut loose a little. There's some big drives on show against Jack Leach, but each one finds a waiting fielder as Leach completes another tidy over.

Jonathan Agnew
BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialI've just been standing outside with my old mate John Wright, and we couldn't understand that constant short-pitched bowling at Watling - even when they'd tried it for an hour and it hadn't taken any wickets.
NZ 161-5published at 56 overs
Four! He's not quite nailed the straight drive but BJ Watling has got enough bat on the ball to send it speeding past James Anderson and away to the ropes.
Oh, he's nailed that one, though! A glorious cover drive, elbows high, brings Watling another four. It's doing nothing.

Mark Wood's out of the attack for a bit - here's James Anderson.

Graeme Swann
Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialI've got a bit of an issue with what England are trying. The old-fashioned Test game is lost on some of the new players - yes, New Zealand have had a century partnership, but they're still 160 behind. Leach has been bowling beautifully but he needs a more orthodox field, such as a bat-pad. Bowl straight, dry the runs up - even if it takes 10 overs to create a chance.
The patience level of captaincy is non-existent - Root is constantly changing the fields and stopping Leach getting into a rhythm.
NZ 153-5published at 55 overs
That's four for BJ Watling. It's fuller than he was expecting from Jack Leach, but Watling is forward enough to sweep down to third man and evade a chasing Ben Stokes.
Lovely timing, mind.
