  2. Eng 38-2

    Target 277

    Jamieson has really hit his straps, this time he gets Root poking uncertainly outside off. The blonde quickie has 2-11 so far, impressive stuff.

  3. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That was an absolute stinker.

  4. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    He's missed another pitch!

    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    If these two can get busy, start rotating the strike and put the bad ball away... They have to shift the momentum a little bit.

  7. Eng 38-2

    Target 277

    Buzzers!

    Ollie Pope goes for a quick single that turns into three when Ajaz Patel's throw is miles off target, allowing the batters to get back for two more.

    Sadiq Chikte: Here we go!

    Shane O'Neill: Does anyone else think NZ will have this won by tea?

    Kevin James Riley: Decent ball - can’t blame Crawley there.

  9. How's stat?!

  10. Eng 35-2

    Target 277

    There's that familiar feeling of huge expectations around Joe Root, but Ollie Pope gets his second run with a safe hook off Boult down to fine leg.

    Root then runs a smart two with a firm push into the off side to get off the mark.

  11. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It's a good ball. Perhaps a bit of bounce from the big fella.

    This is the wicket now, Joe...

  12. Isa Guha
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Crawley is out once again caught in the slips.

    WICKET

    Crawley c Southee b Jamieson 9 (Eng 32-2)

    Uh oh.

    Jamieson gets Crawley to push at one that bounced a bit more and Tim Southee dives to take a good catch.

    Deja vu, anyone?

  14. Eng 32-1

    Target 277

    Jamieson gets one to go down the slope and Zak Crawley wafts at it outside off stump in a heartstopping moment.

    There's a bit of a frustrated double-teapot stance from the bowler, and why not?

    #bbccricket

    Jason Cole: Joe Stilgoe. Brilliant.

    Garry Vaux: Just listened to Mr @joestilgoe during the lunch break of the Test Match and what a talented chap he is.

    Laura Mathews: This was a great listen!

  16. Eng 32-1

    Target 277

    Boult is over the wicket to Pope and doesn't cause him any problems. Pope does not look anywhere near as frenetic as he has done previously thus far.

    #ShaneWarneDay

    Better call Saul. Sorry, had to be said.

    Mark: Well watching some of the #ShaneWarneDay videos who says there’s no hope we can develop leggies.

  19. Eng 32-1

    Target 277

    Ollie Pope tucks one behind square off his legs to get off the dreaded duck.

    Jamieson looks like he lumbers in a bit, maybe he takes a while to wind up to top speed.

    Trent Boult will come in from the Pavilion End.

  20. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    This is an opportunity for Ollie Pope batting at three.
