    New Zealand's approach has been a bit like the final day of a Test match when you are trying to bat out the draw.

  2. NZ 89-4

    Jack Leach to continue after drinks.

    Henry Nicholls attempts a big sweep second ball that brings out an appeal, but he's outside the line. Oh, and he attempts it again next ball, with the same result, before leaving one very close to his off stump.

    He's not having a great time out there at the moment. Seven from 61 balls.

    RE: John, Orpington. Surely KP had some tattoos during his time as captain?

    Matt, London

    Flintoff and KP had tattoos, no?

    We now have the classic scene of fluorescent jacket wearing security guards chasing a snake of beer glasses around the Western Terrace…

  5. NZ 89-4

    Henry Nicholls takes a single from the final ball of the over to end the flow of maidens and that's drinks.

    A fine first hour after lunch for England.

    Consecutive maidens. This is what we want from Leach, particularly in the first innings. It puts a little bit of pressure on the batsmen.

  7. NZ 88-4

    A good question. He's certainly the only one I can think of - visible ones, anyway.

    Another Jack Leach maiden.

    Is Ben Stokes the first England captain with tattoos?

    John, Orpington

  9. NZ 88-4

    Another quiet over from Jamie Overton, just a single from it. Nicholls now has six from 49 balls.

    England are in control.

  10. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport at Headingley

    "Oh Jonny Bairstow, you are the love of my life," sings the western terrace for what must be the 10th time today. He was already popular around here, obviously, but last week's hundred may have knocked that up a notch or two.

  11. NZ 87-4

    But if I keep the curtains closed won't my house just be really dark and gloomy?

    Mint is an interesting shout, thanks for the suggestions.

    Jack Leach whizzes through a maiden.

    Keep the windows and curtains shut on a hot day. Keeps the heat and flies outside.

    You need a fly screen to keep the bugs out, works great in our conservatory.

    Put pots of mint (the plant) on the windowsills. Flies don’t like mint.

  13. Here's the moment Jamie Overton took his first Test wicket.

  14. NZ 87-4

    Slow and steady from New Zealand as they enter the rebuilding phase - both batters happy to defend at this stage.

    Vineet Jacob: It seems like Daryl Mitchell will have to rescue New Zealand once again. He must be feeling like Joe Root did for England just two matches ago being the lone warrior for his team.

  16. NZ 85-4

    Double change for England as Jack Leach returns. Just the two from the over as there's still a slight bit of turn on offer.

    Henry Nicholls has five from 37 balls. This is a big partnership for New Zealand.

    Kevin Ticehurst: Jamie Overton fully deserved that wicket, has bowled brilliantly so far!

    Rob: Third time Stokes has changed the bowler today and got a wicket in their first over.Great captaincy. New Zealand should be 5 down.

  18. NZ 83-4

    A good over for England and Jamie Overton, a wicket maiden.

    New Zealand in a spot of bother but it's England's nemesis of the series, Daryl Mitchell, who's the new man in.

  19. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Conway was a player capable of playing one of those long innings but never really looked settled.

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

    He was looking for the drive but the foot wasn't quite there. Well done to Overton. But it was an error from Conway - going harder at the ball and getting the inside edge.
