    Trail by 29

    In Bristol, England are starting to look like a team that have been fielding for two days. Loose balls, some ragged fielding. Runs coming at a more than trickle.

    We're heading towards lunch in Southampton. One more wicket and you could say New Zealand are on top.

    "We've got Kohli. Virat Kohli. I just don't think you understand..." is the chant from the far side of the ground as the India skipper walks to the crease.

    The game is back in the balance. You always felt that could happen in these conditions.

    A great bit of bowling. Not as much swing or seam as the other bowlers but Gill poked at it and New Zealand are fighting back.

    Gill c Watling b Wagner 28 (IndM 63-2)

    Neil Wagner makes an immediate impact!

    Third ball, Shubman Gill is feeling for one outside off stump, edging, giving a comfortable catch to BJ Watling behind the stumps.

    That's what 20 press-ups does for your bowling.

    Neil Wagner just squeezed out about 20 press-ups at square leg.

    Neil Wagner is on in the dank at Southampton. He's already been busy this morning...

    Shafali Verma has raised the bar and expectation for players coming through the ranks now.

    Shafali Verma played without fear and with so much exuberance. It's exciting what she can bring to the women's game in all formats over the coming years.

    Shafali Verma has hit three sixes in this match. That is the most by any woman in the history of Test cricket. She's hit three across her two innings.

    Karen Rolton, Rachael Heyhoe Flint, Lauren Winfield-Hil, Alyssa Healy, Laura Newton and Shelley Nitschke have all hit two sixes in their Test careers. Verma has gone past them in two innings. Remarkable hitting, really.

    Drinks in Bristol. Katherine Brunt is having a word with the physio. Nothing too serious I believe.

    Che Pujara is already doing Che Pujara things in Southampton. Eleven deliveries, no runs. Watchful. Waiting.

    Katherine Brunt is on her haunches, contemplating the injustice of it all. They might have lost Shafali Verma, but it's been India's first hour. They are making progress towards saving this Test.

    The big problem with that is that she middled it.

    Overturned. There's been so much good cricket in this Test, but there have been a few umpiring errors.

    Given! Katherine Brunt has Punam Raut leg before. Or does she? Raut thinks she got an inside edge...
