    Those are encouraging signs for Santner.

    And again next ball. An exact carbon copy.

    Worrying signs for England. New Zealand are getting a lot more out of this wicket than England managed for large periods.

    Mitchell Santner throws one wide and it spins past Dom Sibley, who was attemping to drive, and it's gathered at slip.

    That didn't half turn.

    Spinner Mitchell Santner, fresh off his first Test century, is going to come on for New Zealand.

    A reminder, that the last 101 wickets New Zealand have taken in Test cricket on home soil have all fallen to seam bowling.

    Burns was lucky there, but England need some of that if they're to bat out the Test.

    Colin de Grandhomme decides to go round the wicket to Rory Burns and draws the outside edge but it drops just short of Tom Latham behind the stumps.

    Burns is living a bit of a charmed life at the moment.

    Colin de Grandhomme gets one all wrong and Tom Latham parries round the corner, through Ross Taylor's legs, and away for four byes.

    That should have been wides really, especially with some of the ones called against England late on in the New Zealand innings.

    It's a tense part of the game this - even the Barmy Army are quiet at the moment.

    Trent Boult decides to go back over the wicket and squares Dom Sibley completely up but the ball misses the edge and goes through to Latham. Sibley looks a bit closed off when he's playing deliveries like that.

    Boult follows through and stares Sibley down.

    New Zealand have called for a helmet as they put a short leg in for Dom Sibley.

    There's also a couple of slips and a gully - who is pretty close and at a slightly unusual angle.

    Both Burns and Sibley have left the ball well, which is crucial as an opening batsman.

    Rory Burns blocks and leaves the rest of the over.

    That was a nasty ball but the great batsmen put them out of their mind and carry on with their work.

    What has that hit?!

    Colin de Grandhomme gets one to lift off the pitch and it hits Rory Burns on the bicep.

    That will send shudders through the England changing room.

    Dom Sibley squeezes one through point for a single.

    That's the first run he's scored on the off side in Test cricket. His first 32 all came on the leg side.

    Colin de Grandhomme is going to replace Tim Southee.

    The big man caused England problems in the first innings so this could be an important period in the game.

    Burns 10, Sibley 10

    A rare misfield from Kane Williamson allows Dom Sibley to jog through for a single and keep the strike.

    These two are seeing off the new ball pretty well at the moment.

    Hats off to the New Zealand fielders in the deep. They are constantly signing autographs for youngsters.

    I've seen Trent Boult and Neil Wagner doing it already during this innings.

    Tim Southee is getting a little bit of movement through the air but Dom Sibley is watching it well and lets it go by on a couple of occasions.

    The Kiwi finishes with a yorker that Sibley squeezes through mid-on for a couple.

    New Zealand batting as they did has produced a situation in which only one side can win.
