  1. NZ 398-6published at 143 overs

    A maiden to start for Stuart Broad.

    He pitched the ball a lot fuller than the tourists did for the majority of yesterday.

    Stuart Broad will share the bowling duties with Archer.

    England have a nicely balanced attack here. Maybe yesterday they persevered with the short ball too long, but I do think they have the balance to take wickets overseas. It's hard to get away from the fact this wicket is particularly flat.

  4. NZ 398-6published at 142 overs

    Jofra Archer's speed were well down in that first over. He really hasn't fired so far in this Test.

    BJ Watling blocks out the rest of the over.

    BJ Watling now averages more than 40 in Test cricket.

  6. NZ 398-6published at 141.2 overs

    Oh! An uppish cut from BJ Watling goes just past gully and away to the boundary.

    The keeper moves to 123 not out.

  7. NZ 394-6published at 141.1 overs

    BJ Watling lets the first ball of the day go through to Jos Buttler.

    Jofra Archer is going to get us under way this morning.

    Some would say this is a day too late...

    It feels as if the draw is the route for England. They've still got a big test ahead of them this morning.

    Australia look set to take a 1-0 Test lead against Pakistan. They earned a 340-run first innings lead thanks to a debut century from Marnus Labuschagne and 154 from David Warner.

    They reduced the tourists to 64-3 at close on day three with Mitchell Starc picking up a couple of wickets.

    You can see the full scorecard from that one here. Test Match Special will once again head over to Brisbane during the lunch interval in Tauranga.

    Over in the pink-ball Test match between India and Bangladesh in Kolkata, the hosts look set to win, possibly even by an innings.

    Virat Kohli hit his 26th Test century as his side opened up a 241-run lead in the first innings before reducing Bangladesh to 152-6 at close.

    The tourists have had to concussion substitutes in that game while Mahmudullah has also retired hurt in the second innings.

    You can see the full scoreboard for that one up here.

    Duke and Kookaburra: Big effort required this session, boys! Bowl them out quickly, pad up and get your heads down. There's a Test to be won.

    Ben Stokes also mentioned in that interview with TMS that he's struggling slightly with his knee which might explain why he didn't bowl as much as people expected yesterday.

    One to keep an eye on.

    England's Ben Stokes: "It was a tough day yesterday, but we're proud of the way we went about it. We didn't let New Zealand get away from us. This morning is about not letting that hard work go to waste."

    When asked if the team is too quiet: "I wouldn't say we're quiet. I'm not sure where that has come from. It doesn't take much for us to get up for a Test match. Everyone runs in hard and gives everything."

    Just a reminder of where the game is at then.

    England posted 353 all out with Ben Stokes hitting 94 and Joe Denly 74.

    In reply, New Zealand are 394-6 despite being 127-4 thanks largely to BJ Watling's unbeaten 119. England only took two wickets yesterday as the Kiwis opened up a 41-run lead.
