  1. Tim Southee is going to be bowling to Rory Burns first up.

  2. Dom Sibley is going to be joined by Rory Burns.

    Burn hasn't fielded for the best part of a day now after splitting the webbing on his thumb trying to take a catch. Let's hope that doesn't hamper his batting at all.

  3. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    I can't imagine Dom Sibley has been in the field for 201 overs before as a cricketer.

  4. How's stat?!

    Andrew Samson
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    England conceded 21 wides, which equals the world record set by West Indies against Australia in 2008.

    England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    New Zealand's bowlers are fresh and are going to hit these 27 overs hard.

    Fresh bowlers may be more likely to make something happen on this pitch than England's tired bowlers.

  6. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    It's a flat, slow pitch. There are some cracks and the odd ball might do a bit but it is clearly not a difficult pitch to bat on.

  7. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Suhel Ahmed: 262 runs deficit from position of strength is shambolic! No plans, wayward bowling, short pitch stuff with any guile and expectant swing or reverse wasn’t found. Wickets came courtesy of fatigue I believe!

    England just came up against two batsmen playing oustanding innings to take the game away from them.

    Jofra Archer: 1-107 from 42 overs

    England drag themselves off the field. They stuck to their task pretty well today. It was yesterday that it went wrong.

  12. England will have to bat for a maximum of 27 overs tonight.

  13. New Zealand declare

    Kane Williamson decides to call it a day with a 262-run lead.

  14. NZ 615-9

    Now a reverse sweep for four.

    Neil Wagner is enjoying himself.

  15. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    That is a huge hit! That's nearly in the bouncy castle.

  16. 6 runs

    NZ 611-9

    Massive from Neil Wagner.

    He gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps Jack Leach over square leg for an almighty six.

  18. Trent Boult has come out to bat.

    Archer has plugged away and toiled away and deserves that.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Watling c Buttler b Archer 205 (NZ 603-9)

    BJ Watling's tremendous innings is over.

    That was a shot of a very tired man. It's a loose wide ball from Jofra Archer and Watling gets a feather of a edge on an attempted cut shot and Jos Buttler takes a smart catch diving forward.

    Watling has really made Ben Stokes and England pay for dropping him on 31.
