Runs!
Wide from Stuart Broad and Mitchell Santner just throws his hands at it and the ball flies away through the gap in the slip cordon and away for the second boundary of the day.
The first runs for 45 balls.

Christian Evans: Something will have to give today, NZ need to score relatively quickly to give themselves enough time to bowl England out and set an unrealistic target, so they may fall cheaply chasing runs...
NZ 398-6published at 148 overs
Another maiden. England have bowled 40 dot balls in a row since that boundary off the second ball of the day.
Pressure is building.

I think Adam is going to have his work cut out getting any of the TMS team on that wall.
Especially after Aggers thought someone was falling to their death off it yesterday. He soon realised they were tied to a cord, don't worry.

Undeterred by that delivery, Mitchell Santner blocks out the rest of the over.
That's five maidens in a row for England. They've been much, much better and fuller this morning.

BBC cricket correspondentThat must have hit something. It was unplayable.

Offt, that's a cracker from Stuart Broad.
He gets one to swing in and beat Mitchell Santner all ends up. It seems destined to cannon into the left-hander's off stump before it hits something on the pitch and diverts through to Jos Buttler.
Really unlucky for Broad and England.

Wrong end!
BJ Watling nudges into the covers and sets off but him and Mitchell Santner eventually decide against the run. There's an opportunity for a run out but Ollie Pope throws to Watling's end when Santner at the non-strikers end was probably the best option. Missed half-chance for England.
Another maiden, though.

England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialEngland have to pick and choose the times it's viable for them to bowl short balls. They have to mix and match their plans. I anticipate they will look to threaten the outside edge early on but if that doesn't work, there'll be a barrage.

Three maidens in a row for England, they are at least building an element of pressure this morning.
Mitchell Santner handles the first bouncer of the day well.

I'd take four jaffas from anyone, Rachel.

Rachel T: We just need four Jofra Jaffers.
NZ 398-6published at 144 overs
A maiden from Jofra Archer too.
England have looked a lot tidier in the first three overs of the day. Chris Silverwood defended them in his end of day interview but maybe behind closed doors he's read them the riot act. Pep Guardiola style.

England bowler on BBC Test Match SpecialThe cracks are really opening up now. You never know what could happen on a day five wicket like this. The heat and wind is making it look like crazy paving.
