    England have 5.1 overs to bowl until the new ball is available.

    What will the plan be? Surely you've got to make sure Stuart Broad takes it after his 4-38 on day two.

    I think this has been the nicest morning of the lot. I reckon England only need that wicket of Watling to get that 100-run lead.

    The fact that we're starting only half-an-hour earlier, despite the New Zealand clocks going back overnight, could mean we have a problem with light at the end of the day. I'm not sure they've thought this one through.

    Forgive the boxing metaphors - you might have heard there is a big fight going on in Cardiff.

    It's been an intriguing bout so far in Christchurch too.

    New Zealand will resume 192-6, trailing England by 115 runs.

    The tourists will be happy, but it could've been much worse for the hosts, who were 36-5 before a superb stand of 142 between BJ Watling and Colin de Grandhomme.

    De Grandhomme fell late for 72 but Watling is still there on 77 not out - can he convert?

    New Zealand v England.

    Round three.

    The second round saw some early blows from the tourists before the hosts hit back with a superb combination.

    But just before the bell, Stuart Broad got in a straight shot that perhaps has rocked the Kiwis.

    Will they come out fighting? Can England KO this innings quickly?
