    They've had a look at the lbw as well, just in case, and it was "wickets missing".

  2. Eng 194-3

    Malan is safe on both the caught behind and lbw shouts.

    Watling got a bit too keen there.

  3. Jeremy Coney
    Ex-New Zealand captain on Test Match Special

    It looks like it's missed the bat. It's beaten the edge and come off the top flap of the pad.

  4. Not much going for this caught behind shout.

    They are going to look at the lbw too but it will surely be sliding past leg stump.

  5. Jeremy Coney
    Ex-New Zealand captain on Test Match Special

    Surely Nicholls is right there at bat-pad, he'd have a very good view of that - but he didn't play any part in the decision to review it?

  6. NZ review

    Have New Zealand made a late breakthrough?

    Ish Sodhi spins it down leg and Dawid Malan plays at it but seems to miss.

    Not according to BJ Watling - the Kiwi keeper appeals heartily and convinces his skipper to call for a review.

  7. Eng 193-3

    Root pushes squarer of cover this time and does get a comfortable single.

  8. Eng 192-3

    Eek! Dawid Malan nearly comes a cropper late in the day.

    Neil Wagner is on and Joe Root drives through cover, sets off but thinks better of it, leaving Malan stranded halfway down the pitch.

    The throw from Henry Nicholls is off target though and Malan scrambles home.

  10. Eng 192-3

    Root 23, Malan 16

    Root and Malan pick up three singles off Sodhi.

  11. Eng 189-3

    Lead by 218

    Trent Boult continues and Dawid Malan tucks off his pads for one.

    Joe Root then edges but it bounces short of the slips before picking up a single off the last ball.

  12. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    We've had an interesting day's cricket. New Zealand had a good morning, then the Stoneman-Vince stand put on 123 - and the lead is building.

  13. Eng 187-3

    England add three singles before Root cuts loose with a slog sweep through mid-wicket for tow.

    No real danger from Sodhi there.

  14. Kane Williamson turns to leg-spinner Ish Sodhi. Can he find any bite off the pitch as the sun goes down?

  15. Eng 182-3

    Root 17, Malan 12

    Boult continues and Root guides the ball crisply off his pads for two.

  16. Jeremy Coney
    Ex-New Zealand captain on Test Match Special

    Looking at the way Root is playing, I wonder if England might sacrifice a few runs tonight in order to keep wickets in hand for tomorrow.

    Typical English response to a wicket. Doom and gloom! Look where Vince has helped put us and look at the batting to come.

    Ray, Southampton

  18. Eng 180-3

    Lead by 209

    Runs! Finally! Malan picks up two through point before cutting deftly away for four as Wagner strays wide.

    Two more for Malan as he slices into the off side.

  19. Eng 172-3

    A third maiden in a row for New Zealand.

    Drifting sedately to the close at the moment.

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

    New Zealand should take the light in that instance. Force Joe Root to get on with it tomorrow, as England need to win to square the series.
