As my kitten Roxy rather distractingly attempts to catch a fly on the windowsill behind me, Dan Lawrence streakily edges one between gully and third slip for four.

He's middled it. He timed the leave wonderfully well.

Matt Henry is on.

Dan Lawrence tries to leave it and ends up guiding it off the face through vacant third man for four. The kind of Joe Root plays so well deliberately, but a complete accident here.

Mainly thinking of the eye-catching cover drive that either goes to the fence or second slip.

Richard Harris: What are Zak Crawley’s scoring shots?

Aaaah. Lovely timing and poise from Rory Burns. A gentle push through mid-on that teases two fielders all the way to the rope.

That is a man in form.

Though some have not seen it early enough...

The balls that have swung have swung from the hand - and you've been able to see it early.

Lawrences punches the first ball back down the ground for a single.

Trent Boult to Dan Lawrence first up after tea. Shrewd move by the Kiwis, targeting the stumps.

Big opportunity for Lawrence here.

Let's play...

Thanks Callum.

Just one main thought really - my concern is Zak Crawley's scoring shots are also the shots he gets out to a lot. A la James Vince.

Feels like it's not taking Test bowlers much time to work out how to dismiss Crawley. Neil Wagner did it in two balls today.

I'm going to hand you back over to Jack Skelton, who will take you through the evening session.

He's got some thoughts on Zak Crawley...

Zak Crawley's dismissals this series. Anyone else spot a pattern...?

Here's how Ollie Pope fell for 19.

He was fuming...

Rory Burns has been really good in moving to 73.

He's got to keep going here, though. England need him to go big.

Seeming I started that session by saying England will only want to be two or three down at close, that session really didn't go to plan.

Here are three of the four wickets to fall...

England have a long tail and James Bracey has faced barely any balls in Test cricket. New Zealand will be looking to bowl them out today.

Rory Burns nudges Ajaz Patel to the fine leg boundary and that'll be tea.

England have lost four wickets in that session and added 85 runs.

It has definitely been New Zealand's session, and they'll be hoping they can make real inroads in the evening one.

Some guy is now running around using the red shoe as a telephone...

Charles Glover: Re John, Chesterfield at 15:17 - Pope just so happens to average nearly 70 in first-class cricket for that ‘fashionable’ county. Which suggests he is more than good enough.
