    That bounce was almost like the ball that got Williamson yesterday.

  2. NZ 390-6published at 137.2 overs

    Where's that come from?

    Stuart Broad gets one to take off slightly and beat the outside edge of BJ Watling. That feels like the first time he's been beaten all day.

  3. NZ 390-6published at 137.1 overs

    Broad was having a laugh with someone at the top of his mark.

    He's no longer laughing as a misfield from Joe Denly gifts New Zealand another two runs.

    Stuart Broad is coming on. He's wicketless from 23 overs so far.

    Lead by 35

    A maiden from Jofra Archer.

    There are four overs left in the day. Can England get a late wicket?

  6. NZ 388-6published at 136.2 overs

    Almost for England.

    It's a well-directed short one from Jofra Archer and Mitchell Santner has to fend it off and it falls just short of Ollie Pope at short leg.

    This has been England's hardest day for a while.

  8. NZ 388-6published at 136 overs

    A maiden from Jack Leach.

    He's got figures of 1-97 off 37 overs so far. He's bowled OK.

    Stuart Broad has got the teapot out...

    Stuart Broad has just received news he didn't want. Joe Root has told him to loosen up.

    Woken up by my son who's ill. 'I'll go!' I kindly say to my partner. Chance to check the size of England's lead...oh.

    That was a good knuckleball by Jofra Archer and it deceived BJ Watling, despite him having batted all day.

    Lead by 35

    It was the knuckle ball from Jofra Archer, a clever piece of bowling at the end of a difficult day.

    BJ Watling just carries on like it never happened as he flicks to the leg side and picks up another single to move to 114.

    It's been that sort of day for England.

  15. Not outpublished at 04:44 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2019

    He's hit it.

    That is a poor decision from Bruce Oxenford.

    It's a fair delivery...

    He's reviewed it straight away, which suggests an inside edge.

    BJ Watling has been given out lbw but he's reviewed it straight away.

    This is a very different game to the one at the start of the day. England would've been expecting to have been batting again by now and building on a lead of 50-100.

    You and me both, Tyler.

    Although in these conditions with little movement, Jimmy would have struggled as well, I reckon.
