  1. Eng 116-4

    Quiet three deliveries from Michael Bracewell. Stokes on strike.

    I love your understating, Jeremy. If Jimmy Anderson walks out there with 35 overs remaining you might just say that New Zealand have a sniff.

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

    Every catch in a match is important but you just sense that the next one is really important.

    Bairstow is fidgeting around the crease, eyeing up the gaps for his next runs. He takes two more from Southee.

  5. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    This is great fun, isn't it? This is what cricket is all about.

    If England get the win it is remarkable but whatever happens they are sending a message that they will play this cricket and it is well worth watching.

  6. Eng 114-4

    Dear Jonny in Basingstoke, Jonny in Nottingham is looking to prove you wrong.

    Bairstow carves Southee to the backward point boundary for four.

    An England win is gone now. The clever option is accept it and bat for the draw. This is a series. One up with one to play, thanks very much. Be clever not cavalier.

    Gavin, Dorset

    Does anyone actually think England can win from here!? 200 more needed! More likely a reality-checking 150-run loss.

    Jonny in Basingstoke

  8. Eng 110-4

    Two dot balls to end the over. We all know with Stokes, it can take just a blink of the eye for the improbable to become wholly possible.

  9. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    I wouldn't have put the fielder back on the boundary because he was in a catching position. They still have so many runs to play with.

  10. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    There is where Michael Bracewell's lack of experience means he'll need a little bit of protection.

  11. Eng 110-4

    Need 189 to win

    Another reverse-sweep for four! This time it's a more controlled from the England skipper, fizzing through the blades of grass.

  12. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    You're looking at a Ben Stokes Headingley-style innings here aren't you?

    I would be dangling the carrot for Stokes to play like that here with how many runs New Zealand still have.

  13. Eng 106-4

    Ben Stokes looking to score any which way. Reverse-sweep over the head of backward point for four.

  14. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    It has been a good response from Tim Southee after being hit for six.

  15. Eng 101-4

    Tim Southee with a cracker. It jumps on Stokes who plays away from his body. It's milimetres from taking the edge.

    Southee's hopeful appeal is turned down.

    "Weheyyyyy," the Nottingham crowd shout in unison, in a way only English fans could.

  16. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Dangle the carrot as much as you want, that is a stroke!

  17. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    There is the message!

    Target 299

    BOOM!

    Stokes dances down and smashes Tim Southee into the pavillion.

    Phone off hook, dog silenced with a bone, beers on ice...Stokes to the rescue.

    There haven't been many fifth day Test matches in England that have been boring. Generally something happens.
