NZ close day three on 394-6, leading by 41 runs
Watling hits superb unbeaten 119, Santner 31 not out

Nicholls falls lbw to Root for 41 and Sibley takes stunning catch to remove De Grandhomme for 65
Watling & De Grandhomme put on 119 for sixth wicket
Watling dropped on 31 by Stokes
Down! It would have been an absolute blinder from Rory Burns in the gully but he puts De Grandhomme down. It was hit very hard high to his right. Burns got a hand there but couldn't hold on.
It has caused Burns some damage too. It looks like it might have split his webbing.

Absolute credit to New Zealand today. The game was on a knife edge. If they lost one quickly you could see England going through them and getting a hefty lead but they've batted brilliantly. Watling looks a nuggety batsman and hard to dismiss, it looks like he's enjoying the grind.
Sam Curran - England's most successful bowler - is back. Still the Army sings...

You can become a cropper in the third innings, England certainly won't want that.

"Joe Root's - Barmy Army! Joe Root's Barmy Army!" chant the England fans. Nothing is happening for the bowlers on the pitch so it's over to the crowd to create some excitement. They're making quite the racket.
Some of them have seen this all before in recent winters of course.

It was a nice on-drive. It reminded me of Geoffrey Boycott's on-drive for his 100th century.
England have had way too much of nuggety right-handers in recent times. BJ Watling adds more with a glorious drive down the ground for four.
That springs the Barmy Army into life as they try and lift Joe Root's men.

That's the first century partnership of the match, off 192 balls. It's the third time this pair have shared a century stand.

BJ Watling has batted so, so well. England would love a batsman of his grit in their team. He paddles a sweep off his stumps and the ball trickles all the way to the fine leg boundary. That's the 100 partnership. These two are taking New Zealand into the ascendancy.

BJ Watling seems immovable at the moment.

It's another maiden for a stiff-looking Broad - his ninth of the innings - but there's no threat at all. Broad looks like he's running through loose sand on the beach around the corner.

I've been disappointed with England since lunch. It's just felt a bit flat.
It seems to have just drifted a bit. I think there will be conversations after this game about the new ball and Jofra Archer and Sam Curran and how that should work.

I reckon Stuart Broad will be coming on to just bowl a tight spell. What else can you do on a benign pitch? They've tried the extra pace with Jofra Archer so they'll have to go back to plan A of bowling straight.
At least this is a pretty place to watch England toil.
Joe Root turns back to his senior man, Stuart Broad. Archer's spell is over.
Watling 61, De Grandhomme 61
Is something starting to happen on his pitch? After that bounce in the previous over, Leach finds a little bit of turn which flicks Watling's edge but the ball bounces short of the diving Ben Stokes.
A little more life but still no joy.

I'm sure England will be analysing where Jofra Archer has been pitching his deliveries. They'll be wanting him to be hitting the top of off stump more I'd have thought.
Trail by 63
A bit of bounce! BJ Watling is leaping in the air with both feet off the ground after a ball spits off a length from Archer. That will encourage England but it was too wide to really threaten the batsman.
We haven't seen any of that all day.

Rory Cook: In bed listening to TMS promising myself I’ll turn it off and sleep at the end of the next wicketless over, and repeatedly failing to do so. Because the next over will definitely have a wicket and then I’ll kick myself.
It's not necessarily his fault but with Jofra Archer in the team this was meant to be a new England - one with greater threat overseas than previous tours.
The Sussex quick is slapped for four more by BJ Watling.
