    Good placement and running from England sees them take five off Matt Henry's latest over. Joe Root and Ben Foakes are still looking to be busy, while being a bit respectful than Ben Stokes.

    New Zealand have provided an update on Kyle Jamieson, saying: "He is off the field after experiencing sharp pain in his lower left back while bowling in the final session of day three. He is currently being assessed by medical staff and is unlikely to return to the field today."

    It could influence the remainder of the day and game - Tom Latham will have to be clever with his bowlers.

    You can see a couple of situations where either side could win from here but at the moment odds against.

    Thanks Kal. Best £5 I've ever spent - a double scoop biscoff on a waffle cone. Superb.

    Back to the cricket.

    The remaining hour of the day is going to be really important for both sides. Quick wickets and the game swings back into New Zealand's favour.

    One from Bracewell's over.

    My times for today is over. I'm handing you over to Callum Matthews. A man who about half an hour ago was devouring an ice-cream which cost far more than I'd ever be prepared to spend. Give me a Choc Ice and I'm happy.

    I'm amazed that Michael Bracewell hasn't been used more.

    Joe Root was on the ground doing some flexing of his back during that review.

  7. Not outpublished at 98 overs

    Eng 416-5

    Not out! Foakes dropped both hands as the ball fizzed past. New Zealand and umpire Paul Reiffel assumed he had gloved it. But replays show it missed bat and gloves, hit Foakes' chest and then nestled into Tom Blundell's hands.

    Ben Foakes reviewed that immediately.

  9. England reviewpublished at 97.6 overs

    Eng 416-6

    More drama. Matt Henry thinks he has Ben Foakes caught behind. The umpire agrees. Foakes takes a millisecond to review.

  10. Not outpublished at 97.1 overs

    Eng 416-5

    It's going down leg. Another optimistic review from New Zealand. Boult meanwhile is chatting to the medical stuff and early signs are he looks OK.

    As we were.

    It strikes him above the knee roll. It is hitting him in-line with leg stump.

    Eng 416-5

    So much happening out there.

    Matt Henry strikes Root on the pads. The ball races down to the fine-leg boundary where Trent Boult looks to have injured himself fielding.

    Meanwhile, New Zealand review the not out decision.

  13. Eng 415-5published at 97 overs

    Superb stokes from Ben Foakes. He picks a fuller delivery from spinner Bracewell and whips it off the pads for four.

    Brendon McCullum is just trying to release the shackles and encourage them to have some fun.

    Brendon McCullum is almost laying down on his seat on the England balcony. He looks chilled. Relaxed. Not a worry in the world. He's oozing coolness.

    Ben Foakes is quite a traditional player but he's already two wafts. It's clearly a method England are going for.

    Moeen Ali was saying earlier that Brendon McCullum came up to him on the outfield this morning and Mo asked him what has he told England to do and he just said "play more shots".

    Ben Foakes really chased that but the top edge flew away.

  18. Eng 410-5published at 96 over

    Nearly another! Ben Foakes edges a wide one and it goes a foot or two over the reaching hand of second slip.

    There is a lot of smiles out there among the New Zealander's. Fair play to Michael Bracewell, he kept going.

    Bit mindless from Stokes. The scoreboard may look pretty but we're still 150 runs behind. Pressure is on now.
