    I've just Googled Kane Williamson for research purposes and the third sentence of his Wikipedia page reads: "He is nicknamed as the Cool Cat".

    I mean, it's definitely not true, but let's make it a thing.

    Joe Root got in a really good position, up over the ball.

    It's really important in this situation to put away the bad ball, like that one from Santner. He knows already that he can't stray there too often.

    Root 6, Denly 8

    That's more like it from Joe Root, as Mitchell Santner sends down a bit of short nothingness and Root hustles back to caress it through point for four.

    Hello! What's that hit?! Santner lands the ball just short of a crater in front of Root's foot and it turns an absolute mile, settling in the hands of a surprised Ross Taylor at slip.

    There's 49 overs until the new ball - that's another landmark moment in the day. Not just for the pace bowlers but also to the spinners because they might get a bit more bounce.

    Runs!

    Two of them, to be exact. Joe Denly works a single off his legs before Joe Root does the same to get himself off the mark.

    Everybody talks about Root at three or four. How about Root at five? Undoubtedly where he has his highest average and the possibility to have some breathing space between captaining and batting.

    Jon Hughes

    Root averages 41.7 as an opener, 38.12 at three, 47.61 at four and 71.44 at five.

    There's two slips, short leg and a silly point for Joe Root, who steps back to a quicker Mitchell Santner delivery and somehow avoids being smacked on the pad.

    I'd, er, go forward to those.

    Mitchell Santner, who has figures of 9-4-6-3, will continue.

    Michael Allen: The pitch isn’t the main problem. The main problem is we’re now batting under pressure, whereas New Zealand weren’t.

    England need to cling on here, they really do.

  12. Eng 55-3published at 29 overs

    Denly 7, Root 0

    This pitch looks like it's got a fine layer of crazy paving over it. There's a few bits of rough springing up around the stumps but honestly? It still looks really, really good.

    Joe Denly clonks a drive to the fielder at extra cover before the last ball of the over bounces and spits out of nowhere, rapping Denly in the midriff. Ouch.

    And from the other end, it's Tim Southee.

    You'd have to fancy New Zealand. Three wickets last night made it much easier for them.

    Dot.

    That's Mitchell Santner's over from last night completed.

  16. Eng 55-3published at 27.5 overs

    Outside off stump, and Joe Root leaves well alone.

    Mitchell Santner has the ball in his hand and Joe Root is facing up...

    If England can try and get over the New Zealand momentum from last night then the middle and business end of the wicket looks good.

  20. 'We need a lot of character'published at 21:56 Greenwich Mean Time 24 November 2019

    England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler, speaking yesterday: "We'll reflect on our first-innings score not being what we wanted it to be - we got in a good position and let that slip.

    "We need high skill levels and a lot of character and this side has got that in abundance.

    "We've got a lot of that in the dressing room - if you look at who is still to come, Ben Stokes and Joe Root are world-class players who have shown an ability to occupy the crease in the past - and we have to show it on the field tomorrow.
