  1. NZ 229-2

    Dan Lawrence floats it outside off, Will Young drives it away and Olly Stone pelts round, dives but ends up knocking it into the rope.

  2. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special

    New Zealand have just dominated with the bat. They've been really terrific.

  3. Final over of the day...goes to Dan Lawrence.

    Says a fair bit about where England are in this match, really.

    I'm afraid it doesn't matter if we bowled first, if we played Leach, or if Stokes was back etc. The truth is our Test batting has been poor for a long time, and our bowling is not much better than average either. If you can't score 400 batting first then you're always going to be struggling against the best.

  5. NZ 225-2

    Trail by 78

    Just all too easy for Young and Taylor to tap it around or even pad away.

  6. Two overs to go in the day.

    Joe Root to bowl the penultimate one, now coming round the wicket to the right-handers.

  7. He had to really battle, but Ross Taylor is looking better by the minute out there...

  8. Lovely stuff, Jamie. Showing better variation than England's frontline attack there.

  10. NZ 222-2

    Turn for Dan Lawrence to be fair, but Ross Taylor easily guides it round the corner for a single.

    Will Young punches through the covers for a couple.

    A single to finish - that puts New Zealand on the dreaded double Nelson. Desperation times.

  11. It was just a matter of time.

    Dan Lawrence is going to try his offies.

    This is England.

    Bruce French-polisher. There's a keeper.

  13. NZ 218-2

    Trail by 85

    Ross Taylor wildly swipes a drive at Olly Stone and the ball beats the outside edge.

    He wisely taps an easy single to get off strike next up. That's all New Zealand need to do until the close now.

    Will Young doesn't heed that and misses on a loose pull shot. Too early on the shot.

  14. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    In the period between tea and drinks there were 17 overs for just 37 runs and the wicket of Devon Conway. Since then New Zealand have scored 49 runs in 13 overs.

  15. NZ 216-2

    Joe Root errs down the leg side and Ross Taylor flicks it very fine for four.

  16. Jeremy Coney
    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    If New Zealand can get to 220 or above today and they are only 80 behind. That is just a session.

    The new ball will be crucial for England.

  18. NZ 212-2

    Young 72, Taylor 39

    Will Young loses his composure momentarily as he flashes but misses a wide ball.

    You still just can't see Olly Stone taking a wicket here. His pace is not high enough and the pitch isn't helping at all.

    He was at 88mph earlier and down at 82mph now.

  19. Good, Steve. Genuinely the first thing that's raised a smile for me in a bit.
