Rakesh Pradhan: Day 2 of Ben Stokes’ reign as England captain and he now knows fully how Joe Root felt.
NZ 216-4published at 71 overs
Lead by 207
A maiden for Matthew Potts.
He's bowled well so far for his 2-41.
If you've forgot what a wicket is then you can enjoy his two from earlier.

Matthew Potts returns.
Ben Stokes is rotating his bowlers as England desperately search for a breakthrough or two in the remaining half an hour of play.

Julian Barrell: NZ batters showing us how to do it mentally again. I don't believe these guys would dramatically outscore all our batters in the county game / yet they are able to grind it out in Test cricket in a way we struggle to do.

Former England captain on BBC Test Match SpecialI'll have to get back in my box because I thought they should have reviewed that...

How is that, umps? Joe Root goes down on one knee and appeals for an lbw as he cannons one into the pads of Tum Blundell.
Rod Tucker shakes his head and England have a conflab but opt against the review. Wisely, because the ball pitched outside leg.
Two from the over.

Roooooot.
The former England skipper is going to have a bowl.

#ShaneWarneDay
Tomorrow has been dubbed #ShaneWarneDay by our friends at Tailenders. To celebrate the memory of Shane Warne, on the anniversary of that 'Ball of the Century', we're asking to see your attempts to recreate his spectacular leg break that took Gatting's wicket.
Wouldn't it be something if Matt Parkinson himself took up the challenge...and succeeded.
Post your attempts using the hashtag #ShaneWarneDay and we'll feature the best (and most inventive).
Go Well.

This is Test match cricket and England are going to have to toil. As their campaign said in the build-up to the Test "it's called Test cricket for a reason".
New Zealand have made the most of the better conditions and have worked themselves into a match-winning position.
Four runs come from Stuart Broad's latest over.

Two more singles as the partnership between Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell passes 150.
It has been brilliant. They came together at 56-4 and New Zealand only led by 47.
get involved Get Involved - which player would you love to add to England's team?published at 17:44 British Summer Time 3 June 2022

Player I'd love to have is Cameron Green. Brilliant young talent, bowls high speeds and rock and roll batting style.
Alex, from Manchester
KL Rahul. We need an opening batter that doesn't get out easily, so we set a platform for our middle order. I nearly said David Warner, but remembered he is an Aussie... I just can't, I'm sorry. I can't do it.
Rob in Colchester

The game is meandering slightly at the moment.
Daryl Mitchell helps himself to a couple off Stuart Broad.
It feels an age since England created an opportunity.

This is the perfect time to bat.
