    It wasn't much of a ball to dismiss Joe Root to be honest. It was just short and wide outside off stump.

    Gin for England.

    I'm pleased England have retained Joe Root as captain. The partnership with Chris Silverwood is a new one but I think he'll get more support with captaincy things with Silverwood in charge.

    Watchful from Stokes to end the over.

    Jon Dunthorne: Is Joe Root the new James Vince?

    James: Root failing to stand up and be counted when it matters again. Rarely does his talent grab hold of games.

  7. Eng 70-4published at 43.3 overs

    Joe Denly almost flicks his latest delivery from Mitchell Santner to short leg, but he manages to get it through for a single.

    That brings the left-handed Stokes on strike... and Santner gets one to spit at him straight away.

    In the 10 Test matches Joe Root has played in 2019 he has scored 548 runs, at an average of 27.4.

    Joe Root has fallen to Colin de Grandhomme in both innings.

    I wouldn't have guessed he'd have been bounced out in the second innings, mind.

    Ben Stokes is going to have to do Ben Stokes things again.

    Looking at that Joe Root wicket again, it was like he was trying to uppercut it but he was never really committed to the shot. It was like catching practice for Tom Latham.

    There's an irony in this dismissal as Colin de Grandhomme was out in almost indentical fashion.

    Joe Root is a victim of not being clinical to defence or attack there. He was in two minds. In the end he didn't really do anything.

    What?!

    A Colin de Grandhomme short ball has done for Joe Root! There's a sentence you don't read every day. It's short but it's not threatening and it's the tamest of dismissals, Root simply stepping back and steering it straight to a diving Tom Latham at gully. Awful. Root looked completely untroubled up until then.

    I used to love a tedious Collingwood blockathon. That's when you knew you were in safe hands.

    Colin de Grandhomme, er, tries to bounce out Joe Root, and it's called a wide as it goes way, way over the batsman's head.

    Chris Painter: We all remember Jimmy and Monty in Cardiff, '09. But would they have got there without Collingwood's painstaking 74 off 245 balls across 344 tedious minutes? I'll be having that from our number five please!

    There's been no five-wicket hauls for a New Zealand spinner on home soil since 2008.

    Mitchell Santner finally gets a bowl at Joe Denly and he finds his outside edge with his second ball. It's on the bounce to Ross Taylor at first slip, though, and Denly covers up in defence for the rest of the over.

    Santner is not giving an inch this morning.

    That's exactly what New Zealand want, an airy drive. He's got to be really careful doing that.

    No thank you!

    Joe Denly goes for a booming drive, despite the fact there's two men placed there for that very shot, and he somehow manages to carve it between both of them for a single.

    Tim Southee wanders over at the non striker's end to make a polite inquiry about what on earth that shot was.

    I don't think Colin de Grandhomme will bowl a great delivery but he will pray on a batsman's patience.

    It's so quiet at the ground that you can hear the click of the photographer's cameras as Colin de Grandhomme runs in to bowl.

    Play and a miss! My word, that's a good ball from De Grandhomme, just a bit of late shape away from Joe Denly, and he goes fishing for it outside off stump.
