Timothy Abraham

  1. NZ 517-7

    Four to start from Tim Southee.

    Stuart Broad offers him a smidgen of width and the New Zealand bowler has a little dab but gets enough on it for it to go to the boundary.

    England will want him quickly.

  2. Thanks Timothy.

    England will want this wrapped up as quickly as possible from here.

    Buckle up. Tim Southee only knows one way.

  3. Drinks break

    The fall of the wicket brings a bit of liquid refreshment.

    I'm off for a quick cuppa so Callum Matthews will keep things ticking over for the next hour.

    There was some steep bounce there, good carry to Ben Foakes. No blame on Jamieson there, trying to have some fun.

    This could be great viewing, Southee and Boult coming in with a licence.

    WICKET

    Jamieson c Foakes b Broad 14 (NZ 513-7)

    Ben Stokes shuffles his pack and Stuart Broad is brought back into the attack.

    A short ball from Broad does the trick to account for Kyle Jamieson as he attempts to pull a bumper and gets some bat it through to Ben Foakes.

    It's always ironic that a team bats so well, and then towards the end of their innings the ball starts to swing.

    New Zealand have earned the right to have a go for it now, however.

  7. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    If Kyle Jamieson stays out there for 40 overs, he could do some real damage.

  8. NZ 506-6

    Kyle Jamieson, with a Dolph Lundgren-esque stature, stands tall at the crease and is given a freebie by James Anderson on his legs with his second delivery. The Kiwi effortlessly whips it away for four.

  9. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    This is the third time a team has passed 500 against England after being put in to bat. England's biggest total after putting the opposition into bat after winning the toss is 601.

  10. NZ 505-6

    Kyle Jamieson, standing at quite a few inches over six foot, is bounced by Matthew Potts who pulls a top edge. A couple of balls later and Jamieson punches one through the covers for another boundary.

    Potts then follows up with a yorker which strikes Jamieson on the pads, and there is a half-hearted appeal, but that's not hitting anything.

    A good delivery from Anderson, just a hint of movement.

    There's a bit of a warning there because Jimmy has got some swing since tea, more than any other time in the game. Bracewell played nicely on his debut, he'll be disappointed not to get the half-century.

  12. NZ 497-6

    Kyle Jamieson gets a toe-crushing yorker from James Anderson first up which the big fella does well to dig out and run a single from to keep the strike.

  13. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Root is very happy to take that one. That Mitchell drop has cost England 165 runs.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Bracewell c Root b Anderson 49 (NZ 496-6)

    Intelligent bowling from James Anderson.

    The England seamer kept it wide across two overs to Michael Bracewell before bringing it back into him with his fifth delivery forcing him to play. The left-hander prods at it and Joe Root takes a smart diving catch in the slips.

    Root looks at the ball, talks to it, with a chuckle.

  15. NZ 496-5

    Real heel-dragging stuff from both sides. Ben Stokes brings back another slip for James Anderson with Michael Bracewell on 49 not out. He's dangling the carrot wide of off stump but the Kiwi left-hander is happy to watch the ball sail past his off stump.

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

    New Zealand haven't shown any inclination to go after the ball when it's wide, they're not prepared to give their wickets away.

    It's a stalemate at the moment.

  17. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    What a catch that is!

    Is it?

    No, it's not a catch. Nobody's even interested at all. You heard the calamity of my commentary of the Potts drop and I've done it again.

  18. NZ 496-5

    The crowd erupt after a pull into the ground from Daryl Mitchell is saved by the diving Ollie Pope, mistaking it for a catch. A couple of balls later it's deja vu as Michael Bracewell clips one in the air off his pads but it falls agonisingly short of square leg.

  19. Charlotte Edwards Cup final set to begin

    After beating South East Stars in the play-off earlier, Central Sparks are now set to face Southern Vipers in the final of the Charlotte Edwards Cup.

    The likes of Danni Wyatt, Maia Bouchier, Georgia Elwiss, Charlie Dean, Anya Shrubsole and Lauren Bell - all England present or past - are in the Vipers team.

    Eve Jones, Issy Wong and Sarah Glenn are in the Sparks side.

    We've got a nice game of cat and mouse brewing between Anderson and Mitchell.
