Trent Boult pushes a couple across Joe Root before bringing it back in and forcing the England captain to defend.

All the Joes now as Root joins Denly in the middle.
New coach, new England - will we see a new Root? Can this be the start of the year where he kicks on and really fulfils all his promise in Test cricket?
He sees out the rest of the over for now.

Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match SpecialIt looked as though Rory Burns had got through that difficult period, but Colin de Grandhomme drew him in. He will be disappointed, having reached the 50, to then get straight out afterwards.

It's been coming - one flirt too many outside off by the England opener.
Colin de Grandhomme pushes it up, bit of nibble and it grazes the outside edge through to wicketkeeper BJ Watling.
It's very England to see off Trent Boult and Tim Southee but struggle against De Grandhomme's well-directed medium pacers.

BBC Test Match SpecialRory Burns has found some fluency in this over, and that is a very hard-earned 50, and a rather streaky 50, it has to be said. But he has got there once again.
50 for Burnspublished at 44.4 overs
This is better from Rory Burns. First he tucks it away off his hip for a couple before whipping crisply through mid-wicket for four.
That takes him to a battling 50. He's led a charmed life since lunch but can he dig in and convert now?

Joe Denly miscues a drive and sends an inside edge through his legs for one.
Colin de Grandhomme pushes a swinging delivery very full and Rory Burns plays all round it, lucky not to lose his off peg or nick off.
Another play and miss to finish.

Colin de Grandhomme is back. Can he strike again?
Eng 104-1published at 43 overs
Trent Boult is shaking his head. Plenty of the ball hitting the top of off stump there. Not enough though.
Rory Burns taps a single to get off strike and Joe Denly retains it by taking a single off the last.

Just a tad too high - umpire's call on impact.
New Zealand retain their review. Rory Burns retains his place at the crease.
