    Did he hit it? My initial reaction was that he did, but it may have been bat clipping pad.

  2. England reviewpublished at 42.3 overs

    Leach gets one to bite into the pads of Latham.

    A huge appeal from the spinner but not given.

    Joe Root sends it upstairs.

    Dr Stephen Fawcett: "Well this is exciting." Not the cricket, the prospect of a whitebait sandwich, of course.

    Brooke Jenner: Two Kiwis in the BBC cricket commentary box with six ecstatic Brits... very dangerous place to be.

    The fourth ball of that over took James Anderson to 5,000 overs in Test cricket.

    Just four other bowlers have done that: Murali, Shane Warne, Anil Kumble and Courtney Walsh.

  5. NZ 105-4published at 42 overs

    Latham 53, Watling 8

    Five dots for Anderson before he strays onto the pads and Watling clips it crisply through mid-wicket for four. Lovely timing.

    Jack Lockyer: Leach appears to get genuine revs and spin. Looks like taking wickets. The question is, why didn’t he play in the Ashes?

    Leach bowls a quite a good pace now. He's quickened up throughout his career. It's a good line, and Latham just misread the length.

  8. NZ 101-4published at 00:49 British Summer Time 3 April 2018

    Is that a chance? Latham deflects it just past Stoneman at short leg, little hope of catching that one though and it runs away for a single to bring the 100 up.

    Yeesh. Leach gets Latham prodding at a full delivery, with the ball whistling past the outside edge.

    Good stuff from the Somerset man.

    This might be why Masterchef doesn't work quite so well on the radio!

    We've been brought a whitebait sandwich and Victor has dug into it before me.

  14. NZ 97-4published at 39 overs

    New man BJ Watling gets off the mark with a single, tapping into mid-wicket.

    Tom Latham's half-century came up from 124 balls, with seven fours. It's his 15th fifty in Tests.

    50 for Lathampublished at 38.4 overs

    Tom Latham sweetly sweep Jack Leach to the fence to bring up his fifty.

    An impressive knock so far in very trying circumstances. How long can the opener keep it up?

    Well! It's the virtue of bowling full again. It's almost a half volley, but a half-volley that's moving a fraction, against tense batsmen, can work just as well. This is more than England could have hoped for. That brilliant start has made such a different.

    That's a poor shot from Nicholls, who had played pretty well until then.

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 37.5 overs

    Nicholls c Cook b Anderson 13 (NZ 91-4)

    And the bowling change works!

    James Anderson pitches it up, tempting Henry Nicholls into the drive and the Kiwi edges it to Alastair Cook, who makes no mistake with Test catch number 159.

    An England victory now the most likely outcome?

    They'll get a break for their efforts as that wicket is the cue for drinks.

    No Mark Wood yet, I'm not sure whether it's his kind of pitch. But Leach is the man at the moment - he's got to probe away surgically.
