    BBC Test Match Special at Edgbaston

    That's very well played by Jimmy Neesham.

  2. 50 runs

    50 for Neesham

    50 up for Jimmy Neesham, as he nudges near anagram Shaheen for a single. Well played that man. Runs are hard to come by today.

    So refreshing to see batsmen at 6 and 7 stepping out to bat the conditions rather than pre-agreed strategies *Waves at Buttler, Moeen, Woakes*

    Matt in Edinburgh

  4. NZ 150-5

    Shaheen Afridi, where have you been all my life? Such a good display with the ball today, beating the batsman with his first two balls back.

    John Stafford: That disallowed Grandhomme runout looked very iffy to me. Can only assume the batsman was given the benefit of the doubt!

  6. Colin de Grandhomme. Giving so many chances but still out there flying. Love it.

    Here comes Shaheen Afridi back into the attack. Looks like Corey Feldman, bowls like Wasim Akram. A wonderful late 80s montage of a man.

  7. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special at Edgbaston

    It's well bowled from Wahab Riaz but fortune is smiling on De Grandhomme.

  8. NZ 150-5

    Colin de Grandhomme tries to hook a 91mph bouncer and top edges away for another streaky boundary. That's the 150 up!

  9. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special at Edgbaston

    There is where Wahab Riaz is so dangerous. He's getting just enough reverse swing.

  10. NZ 145-5

    De Grandhomme 32, Neesham 49

    Into the last 70 balls. 200+ looked unlikely at one time but you'd back them from here. This has been a good partnership, if not without chances!

  11. Charles Dagnall
    BBC Test Match Special at Edgbaston

    This is the frustration with Pakistan. You see them putting in a performance like this and you ask why not all the time? But I suppose that wouldn't be as fun.

  12. NZ 144-5

    De Grandhomme 32, Neesham 48

    Colin almost plays on before Shadab Khan collides with him as he fields. Big man by name and nature, he nearly clatters the Pakistan man to the floor. Just two from the over. Good squeeze.

  13. NZ 144-5

    Mohammad Amir in, tidy as you like. Again Pakistan are not happy with the ball but are told to crack on with it.

  14. Well done for spotting that I randomly said England were 133-5 there...

  15. How's stat?!

    This is Neesham's sixth consecutive ODI innings of 20+ runs, he's averaging 54 in ODIs since the start of 2018 (nine inns).

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

    This is the greatest fielding performance I've seen from Pakistan. They're right on the boil.

  17. NZ 142-5

    Wahab Riaz checks the ball with the umpires but it's OK to carry on, as the Edgbaston crowd cheers some solid fielding which cuts down a run. Every one you concede now you'll have to chase...

    Wahab is now warned for running on the wicket. All going on.

  18. NZ 139-5

    De Grandhomme 30, Neesham 45

    Wahab now fires a ball past the edge of Colin de Grandhomme's bat. I've never seen so many play and misses in such a short space of time!

  19. Bryan Waddle
    BBC Test Match Special

    Much more like the aggression that New Zealand needed. It's taken a while but they're starting to find the boundary now.

  20. This is very entertaining stuff now...
