    Stuart Jarvis: BJ Watling has annoyed me for hours there, but what a great, disciplined knock in the circumstances. Deserved a ton.

    Beth: I love the sound of a stump being knocked over.

  2. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Jimmy's so good with the new ball, getting it to dance both ways.

  3. How's stat?!

    Andrew Samson
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    BJ Watling's 85 came from 220 balls, with 11 fours and one six. He batted for just over five hours.

  4. NZ 231-7

    Trail by 76

    Ish Sodhi is the new man in and gets off the mark straight away, nurdling into leg for one.

    England will be wary of Tim Southee staying around too long, mind. Another four - this time fortuitous as it runs away off the edge wide of the slip cordon.

  5. Graeme Swann
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That was brilliant from Anderson. Very full, a bit of late swing - a beauty.

  6. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It swung late and was half-volley length - you get them when they scent runs. It was a brilliant ball as it looked like a leg stump half-volley which he wanted to whip through mid-wicket, but it swung and took his off stump.

    WICKET

    Watling b Anderson 85 (NZ 226-7)

    Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy the man before midnight.

    An absolute pearler from James Anderson, full and swinging late to move past BJ Watling's swipe and rearrange the timbers after flicking off the pad.

    Watling thought he could clip it through mid-wicket on the angle but that late swing was just too good for him.

    A fine, gutsy innings from Watling comes to an end. England will fancy ripping through the tail now.

  8. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It's an interesting puzzle when you bowl to someone like Southee with the new ball. It'd be tempting to have three slips and a long-on, as he's going to swing if it's in the right spot.

  9. NZ 226-6

    Trail by 81

    Stuart Broad opens up with Anderson once again. A very tidy start, getting one through Watling's defences and looping up off the thigh pad.

    Broad is denied a maiden as he strays leg side and Watling clips it away for one.

  10. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That's a length ball from Anderson. It doesn't move - except when it hits the bat. He tries to bowl the in swinger but it just kept coming straight. Southee's seeing the ball well.

  11. NZ 225-6

    Ooh! A pearler from Anderson draws Southee into a wafty drive but the ball almost does too much and misses the outside edge.

    Anderson then slides one down, Southee shuffles across to try and flick it away but misses and the ball almost hits his leg stump.

    Southee dabs into off to get out of the firing line with a single before Watling then slices it past backward point for one.

    Shot! A brilliant straight drive by Southee down the ground for four. He's looking in fine touch and eroding England's lead.

  12. new ball

    New ball

    Sure enough, England take the new ball straight away. A very good first five overs for New Zealand - no wickets and 27 runs added.

    James Anderson has the new cherry in his hand...

  13. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    That was an easy catch for a second slip, but there's not one there. That's the wicket that would have been perfect timing with the new ball coming up.

  14. NZ 219-6

    Trail by 88

    Stokes to bowl the final over with the old ball - and he nearly gets a wicket, finding the outside edge of Watling's bat, but there's no second slip in and it runs away for four.

    Two dots to finish. Bring that new ball on.

    Enough Of That Now: Has there ever been a Test where all 20 first-innings wickets were shared between just four bowlers?

  16. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    The greatest compliment I was ever paid on my bowling was by Mike Selvey. He once referred to me as a poor man's Richard Hadlee. I was really chuffed with that. I think Selve might have forgot he wrote it...

  17. NZ 215-6

    Southee and Watling add a single apiece.

    One over to go until the new ball. England will be hoping to stop Southee's charge quickly with it.

  18. dropped catch

    Tough chance

    Southee skips down the ground and smashes it back down the ground - Leach sticks out a hand and the balls flicks off his fingertips and away for four.

    Can't really call that a drop. Southee is having fun.

  19. Right, Jack Leach is going to have an over before the new ball.

    This would be a particularly excellent time to get your first Test wicket...

  20. NZ 209-6

    Watling won't be as expansive as Southee while he looks to build towards a century. A maiden for Stokes.
