    Shubman Gill is tall. He stays very still at the crease. There are three slips and a gully as Southee bowls to the right-hander. A little calm has descended on Southampton. For some reason, everything has stopped. I think we might have had a seven-ball over there.

    This is a amazing game of Test cricket, even though 2.5 days lost to rain - long live Test cricket!

    Boult hits Gill on the pad and asks the question, but the bowler doesn't seem convinced.

    Breaking news. The offer on the house has been accepted.

    Nobody is queuing up for the fast food at the moment. This feels like a key session, and the crowd are all on their seats watching.

    Southee is on the money here. He's getting away-swing from a straightish line, causing problems for Rohit. Various different parties have broken out in the stands. Music and dancing. They're probably celebrating the fact it isn't raining.

    Trent Boult shares the new ball in what might be the brightest sunshine of the match. No shape for the left-armer, the ball just angles across Gill and into the gloves of BJ Watling. Make them play.

    India away with a thick Rohit edge that scoots away for three. There's swing for Southee, but just a touch too wide of off stump. Remember we can play until 19:00 BST, light permitting. There are 39 overs left in the day. We'd do well to get all of them in.

    Neil Wagner has just given BJ Watling a hug as the New Zealand wicketkeeper begins his final innings in the field for the Black Caps.

    Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Tim Southee has the ball in blustery sunshine.

    India must have Adelaide (38 all out) in the back of their minds. India would like to be cautious and avoid losing half the side with barely 50 on board. Having said that it is going to swing so they should not go too much into their shell and score at every opportunity.

    The game is alive. However, I can only really see one winner. India need to bat at least two sessions to make sure they can't be beaten. After which they won't have enough time to bowl New Zealand out. Here come the India openers. They begin 32 runs behind the Black Caps.

    Jamieson, Boult, Southee and Wagner have all been steaming in on one of the practice strips at tea. The game is alive.

    What a game we've got here, though. I've got a sneaky feeling we're going to be getting a ticklish finish this time tomorrow.

    Thanks, Tim.

    It is, though, isn't it? A treat. To be honest, I'm not a massive tea man. I wasn't really into coffee until I became a father. We've got number two arriving in October. I'll need caffeine on a drip.
