    Lawrence 34, Stone 5

    Just a single for Olly Stone off Daryl Mitchell's over.

    Simon Doull on Sky says New Zealand have taken the highest % of slip catches during the World Test Championship. They've proven it today. Flawless in the slips.

    There have definitely been a couple of periods where the Hollies Stand has chanted Ollie Robinson's name.

    Neil Wagner has taken more wickets with short-pitch bowling than any other bowler in the last five years. But in this series he's bowled fuller than in any innings since 2014.

    Other than a loose flay at a wide one, Olly Stone plays Neil Wagner fairly well and there's a leg bye off the final ball.

    Neil Wagner enters the fray, taking aim at Olly Stone...

    Dan Lawrence is trying to counter - and finding some luck while doing it...

    The word naive springs to mind about England since lunch - even Ollie Pope's shot wasn't a great shot and then there's been a few pokes, prods and flicks when not in.

    Lawrence 34, Stone 4

    Dan Lawrence punches down the ground for a couple but can't fashion a single off the last to keep the strike.

    New Zealand have found more swing in this session than with the new ball...

    Nailed that! A nothing short ball from Matt Henry is pulled away dismissively by Dan Lawrence for four.

    Rory Burns might've had to get 270-odd for this England line-up to have reached 400. Instead he fell 19 runs short of a ton...

    I was looking at 400 after the first session.

    It has not been a challenging day, but there's always been a bit going on. The bowlers have always had a bit of interest in things today, but the score at the moment doesn't look enough.

  15. Eng 185-6published at 63 overs

    Olly Stone is off the mark with a drive through point for a couple.

    Shot! Stone clips it crisply off his pads and scampers two to ensure Dan Lawrence starts the next over on strike.

    James Bracey is just the ninth England player to start their Test career with two ducks.

    Chris Tremlett was the most recent, Gavin Hamilton got a pair in his first Test, Graham Gooch in 1975 against Australia, D.W White, D.R Smith, Brian Close, C.I.J Smith and G.F Grace.

    I presume that's the guy who looks nothing like Gareth Southgate really but just happens to own a waistcoat?

    Anyway, the Hollies Stand are now singing 'football's coming home' as England's fortunes in this Test begin to fade.

    Hmm. I have a bet with my partner's brother (hi, Chris) that I give him £20 if England win Euro 2020 and he gives me £20 if literally any other country win it. Pretty win/win for me really.

    Gareth Southgate, complete with waistcoat, is running around the Hollies with an England flag, trying to whip up the crowd. It's worked.

    Lawrence 27, Stone 0

    Dan Lawrence is happy to take a single off his pads to put Olly Stone on strike, so he's not in full shepherd mode yet.

    Stone sees off the rest of Matt Henry's over.

    Dan Lawrence has looked pretty assured.

    He's now having to look after the tail, though.
