  1. Another bowling change. Mitchell Santner is on. Does Kane Williamson not know how hungry I am?

  2. Eng 159-3

    Minimum 10 overs remaining

    The clouds mirror the mood of hundreds of our readers.

    Doing my Covid test was more interesting. Although fewer vomiting noises...

    When you're batting in this situation, it helps to be positive in your outlook. Pope needs a big, long innings to calm himself down.

  5. Eng 158-3

    Minimum 11 overs remaining

    Pope smashes a drive to the fence to remind us of his talents. There is very little for him to gain here but a fair bit to lose.

    Here is Kyle Jamieson.

  6. A night counting grains of rice would be more interesting.

    Andy Budgell: The Monaco Grand Prix was more exciting.

    Williamson has just told Jamieson to get loose. We're set to go on a while yet.

  9. Eng 150-3

    Minimum 12 overs remaining

    Ollie Pope goes for a needless, risky single. Had the fielder collected the ball there'd have been a run out chance but a fumble ended any hope of that.

    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    I feel I should apologise to our listeners. When the declaration came I was telling them to stay listening and not go anywhere...

  11. Eng 149-3

    Sibley 56, Pope 6

    Williamson has thrown a short leg in now. I am surprised he hasn't been more attacking with England showing no interest in the chase.

    Sibley ducks out the way of Wagner's bouncers.

  12. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    England are meant to be an improving, up-and-coming team. All they've managed to improve is their ability to grind out a draw.

  13. Eng 147-3

    The players can shake hands at any stage now. Williamson wanders by the two batsmen with not so much as a glance in their direction. I assume we'll be going until Southee is out of puff at least.

  14. There speaks a man hoping for more leftovers to be sent up to the media centre...

    I'd be carrying on if I was Kane Williamson. The next two batters are on a pair and then it's the bowlers.

  16. This was a unusual response to Dom Sibley's fifty...

  17. Here's a reminder of the three wickets to fall in England's innings. New Zealand need seven more in 15 overs to win.

  18. Eng 146-3

    Drinks are coming onto the field. Kane Williamson is chatting away with his bowlers. It looks like we're going on a bit yet.

    15 overs remain.

  19. Eng 146-3

    Slow caps before what could be the final ball.

    All eyes on Williamson...

  20. Eng 144-3

    Pope is beaten again. He's keeping the Black Caps interested.
