  1. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    This game is interestingly poised. New Zealand hold the cards at the moment.

  2. This was a very big hit...

  3. NZ 109-4

    Taylor 23, Nicholls 1

    The TV cameras pan to New Zealand spinner Ajaz Patel on the sidelines. He has a remarkably full, well-groomed beard. Maybe the best beard in international cricket?

    Mark Wood may have just shouted "SHEARER" again when kicking the ball onto the stumps.

  4. Mark Wood is coming on for a bowl.

  5. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    New Zealand would want a lead of at least 300, you'd think.

  6. NZ 107-4

    Lead by 210

    I'm with Stephan. England don't do boring Tests. Henry Nicholls is off the mark first ball.

  7. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport at Lord's

    I'm happy to stick my neck out. This will not be a dull final day. Something will happen this afternoon.

  8. Broad will be feeling happier after this drop off his bowling earlier...

  9. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    That is Stuart Broad's first wicket in his last 81.2 overs, since he got Angelo Mathews out in the first innings of the first Test at Galle in January.

    WICKET

    Latham lbw Broad 36 (NZ 105-4)

    It's actually umpire's call on leg stump but it looked out. It really did. Finally, finally Stuart Broad has a wicket. Latham is out.

  11. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Surely not?!

  12. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Broad didn't even look at the umpire, it was dead in front. Oh, he's decided to review!

  13. New Zealand review

    Stuart Broad has his wicket!

    Or does he? Latham sends the lbw upstairs.

  14. NZ 105-3

    Lead by 208

    That six was dropped by a fella in the second tier, it seems. He holds his arms out wide after getting a bit of stick from fellow spectators.

    The catching ability of cricket spectators really is poor. Does anyone ever catch them?

  15. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That's a biggie. He's absolutely crunched that one.

  16. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    That's gone into the one of the hospitality boxes!

  17. 6 runs

    NZ 105-3

    Ross Taylor has middled one! He really has. That's gone miles.

  18. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    I'm glad to see New Zealand have come out and been positive. They're in a great position.

  19. Ollie Robinson has taken the only wicket this morning...

  20. NZ 97-3

    Lead by 200

    England went for a couple of bad reviews yesterday - one of which is below. The one in that previous over was worse.

    New Zealand continue to push their foot onto the accelerator in slightly hectic fashion, like a newly qualified teenager trying to impress his mates.
