I think that is missing leg and I think I heard a hard sound too.
Summary
England end day four 207 runs behind NZ with just seven wickets in hand
Santner stars for NZ with maiden Test century and three late wickets
Watling hits 205; sharing in 261-run seventh-wicket stand with Santner
First Test in two-match series

NZ 425-6published at 161 overs
A freebie from Joe Root. It's too short and Mitchell Santner rocks back and carves through backward point for four more.
Oh, an appeal! Root gets one to scurry through and it hits Santner on the back pad but that was going down leg. Root was basically begging Bruce Oxenford to give that out.

Going to be honest, I don't remember that game. I'd have been four at the time.
But New Zealand scored 236 in 102 overs. Slow going.
You can see the report here.

Superb shot!
Mitchell Santner takes a step down the track and drives sweetly through the covers for his fourth boundary.

BJ Watling knocks a full toss to Sam Curran at mid-off to bring up the century stand.
It's been very frustrating for England but hugely important for New Zealand.

BBC cricket correspondentThat was a very strange one. Was that a drop? If it was, it was a very tough chance.
NZ 415-6published at 159 overs
Is that a drop? Joe Root fires one in and it looks set to bowl Mitchell Santner but it spins just past off stump. Jos Buttler fumbles it and it dribbles to Ben Stokes at slip.
Oh. Now Mitchell Santner edges one into his pads.
Joe Root causes problems again.

Joe Root is coming on too.
He was probably England's most threatening bowler yesterday which tells you a lot.

England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialNew Zealand are trying to bat England out of the game so that they are the only side who can win the Test.
They could have a bit more intent though. It's been very sedate this morning.

Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match SpecialThe longer this situation continues, with New Zealand not getting away, the more likely the draw becomes..
NZ 415-6published at 158 overs
Just a couple of singles come from Leach's first over of the day.
The third new ball is five overs away. If England will take it, after going wicketless for a whole session with the second one yesterday, is debatable.
Postpublished at 23:07 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2019
Oh, no he's not. Jack Leach is going to have a twirl.

Sam Curran will continue after drinks.

A slow going first hour then.
England have failed to find the breakthrough but they have bowled much better to be fair to them. They've consistently challenged the stumps and just outside off stump.
New Zealand have only scored 19 runs in 16 overs so England are at least restricting the scoring, making the draw more and more likely.

End of twitter postdrinks break NZ 413-6published at 23:03 Greenwich Mean Time 23 November 2019
Ben Stokes has decided to go round the wicket to Mitchell Santner and is really cramping him for room outside off stump.
That's a good bouncer from Stokes but Santner does well to weave out the way. He's faced 151 deliveries for his 39 now. Slow going but it's a crucial knock for NZ.
Another maiden. That's drinks.
