There's a little edge there. A really cagey umpire would have given that out - and then England could have reviewed it.
Summary
Bad light ends day four with NZ 42-0
New Zealand need 382 to win
Would be NZ's highest Test run chase, seventh highest overall
Latham dropped by Vince on 23
England 352-9 declared (Root 54, Malan 53)
Second Test (NZ lead series 1-0)

A big appeal from the Black Caps against Jonny Bairstow!
An off cutter from Trent Boult skims past Bairstow's bat and into BJ Watling's gloves. Everyone goes up, but umpire Erasmus shakes his head, and New Zealand have no reviews!
To cap it all off, Bairstow has got a thin edge on that. Ouch.

Stuart Broad is at the crease. By my maths, this ball is about six overs old.
There's just a little opening for New Zealand to try and exploit, here.

BBC Test Match Special commentatorEngland have been trying to force it - five of the six dismissals, bar Cook, have come from attacking shots.

There was late swing from Colin de Grandhomme there and, looking at the replay, Ben Stokes overbalanced.
Mind you, he nailed the shot. What a catch!

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialDe Grandhomme has got two left-handers caught at mid-wicket off the meat of the bat! That one swung in a little to Stokes. And this is getting interesting, as every run counts now. For the neutral, it's working out beautifully.

Stokes c Raval b De Grandhomme 12 (Eng 286-6)
Oh, what a catch!
That is a stunning take by a flying Jeet Raval at mid-wicket. It's very similar to the way Dawid Malan fell - Ben Stokes tries to work the ball off his legs but ends up chipping it a little higher than he anticipated.
Raval throws himself to his left, both hands outstretched, and holds on to a fine grab. A sterling effort.
Eng 282-5published at 93.4 overs
Ooft. A delivery from Colin de Grandhomme nip in to Ben Stokes and misses the outside edge as Stokes chucks another big drive at him.
BJ Watling, standing up to the stumps, can't do anything to stop it and it races away for four byes.

Lead by 307
Colin de Grandhomme will resume after lunch - oh, and he tempts Ben Stokes into a drive that just bounces before it reaches a diving Tom Latham at mid-wicket.

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialBairstow and Stokes were on nought together in both innings. So they won't be flummoxed as it happened to them in the first innings. England need to get out of the habit of losing wickets in batches.

Time for some cricket!
New Zealand are having a little huddle as the umpires make their way out to the middle. They're followed by Jonny Bairstow, on 12, and Ben Stokes on two.

That Nick Compton interview was a lovely listen, and really interesting.
Compton opened for 10 matches alongside Alastair Cook. He scored 498 runs at an average of 31.12 and notched two centuries. Given the struggles England have had to find an opener since Strauss retired, that's not a bad effort.
'Cook is very balanced'published at 02:04 British Summer Time 2 April 2018
BBC Test Match SpecialFormer England batsman Nick Compton on Alastair Cook: "What's helpful is the uncomplicated way in which he goes about his cricket. Because he's not stressing the point that you're a new player, it makes you feel quite at ease.
"You very rarely see him down or too up. He's very balanced. It's nice to have that solidity and strength around you.
"I admire any opening batsman. You look at what he's going through now - struggling with a bit of form - and you can really feel, as an opener what other guys are going through.
"Doing it for so long is what's impressed me the most. You have to dig deep and find the resolve to get through those tough periods."

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match SpecialThere's scope for change - Malan is not absolutely secure - but they won't want to change four players in May. Stoneman doesn't look like he's getting any better, he looks a bit more fragile when he started - but he's played a dozen Tests and especially if Cook does decide to call it a day, I think they'd stay with him.
'Dad likes to be in his zone'published at 02:00 British Summer Time 2 April 2018
Nick Compton on his dad, Richard, who watched on as he made his first Test century: "My dad was hiding under the trees. It was like where's Wally every time I came to the ground!
"He did the same thing when I was at school - he'd always find the most peculiar place to sit. I think he likes to be in his zone, in his own place, and watch the cricket.
"It was quite nice because I caught his place quite early in the innings and it became a bit of a mantra. I looked at him at the end of every over and he gave me a first bump.
"He got up to go to the toilet and I was like 'where do you think you're going? I'm scoring runs here!'"

Shaun Lawthom: Actually think a classic England collapse here would work in their favour and they’ll win comfortably. More than enough on the board now, take the draw out of the equation.
Henry Ellison: 50 seems to be the new 100 with this England team. They all seem incapable of going on.
From root canal surgery to a maiden Test centurypublished at 01:52 British Summer Time 2 April 2018
BBC Test Match SpecialNick Compton on his maiden Test century: "I knew, deep down, that the NZ series was a big one and I needed to get big scores. I felt getting a couple of hundreds was crucial because I'd not got that big score in India.
"I was a bit tentative in the first innings of the first match and I was out for a duck. We had a long time out in the field which is a long time to contemplate getting a pair.
"I had a huge toothache on the third day. I was rushed to emergency one evening. I was there until about 10pm and had root canal surgery, I came back and saw my Dad. I wasn't in the best mood and I don't think the conversation ended with hugs and kisses.
"I went to my room thinking tomorrow is D-Day then manged to get off the mark early on. Lying in that dentist bed for two hours, I had time to reflect and think it might be my last innings, but to hell with it.
"I thought I want to go out there and hit some of my best shots. I want to enjoy that feeling, if that is the last time, and I guess that freed me up a little bit."

BBC Test Match SpecialNick Compton has been speaking to Aggers about his memories of the 2013 tour of New Zealand.
"We did all sorts - we took helicopters to the top of glaciers, and it was just a nice way to unwind everyone before the series. It was a tougher series than we envisaged.
"I felt very proud. What a team to play in, what a group of batsmen. In some ways it took pressure off me. They had so many strokeplayers, so many good players, and for me, to be at the wicket I could spend time out there and help the team.
"I had great foils around me for the job I did, and great guys to learn from."
