    Trail by 321

    Tim Southee goes full. Zak Crawley looks to clip him through the leg side but a thick leading edge sends the ball travelling back past the bowler for four. Pretty decent timing in the end.

    Headingley gets a bit of stick for being an ugly ground, but I maintain the top of the new stand is one of the best places to watch in the country. You have a bird’s eye view but still feel right on top of the action…

    Ollie Pope is the new man in. It has been non-stop action since the lunch break.

    That's an excellent delivery. It's just nipped the off stump and beaten Lees for movement.

    He's bowled him! What a delivery! I thought for a moment it had beaten him.

    Lees b Boult 4 (Eng 4-1)

    This is a beauty from Trent Boult. Pitched up, straight with good movement off the turf, and very quick. Alex Lees plays inside the line and is cleaned up.

    Daryl Mitchell can breathe a sigh of relief. What a start for the Kiwis.

    It beat Mitchell for pace. I know he's feeling his fingers but it'll be his pride that hurts the most.

    Eng 4-0

    My word. Alex Lees played in an aggressive manner at Test Bridge and, to just his second ball, he again lets the hands go. It's a thick edge and Daryl Mitchell, fielding at first slip, cannot hold on. It was above his head and went at pace, but Mitchell could only parry it over the bar for four runs.

    A huge let-off.

    Wide down the leg side and gathered by Tom Blundell behind the stumps.

    The problem for New Zealand is that if this surface does spin they don't have the arrows in their quiver for that.

    England opener Alex Lees and Zak Crawley stride to the middle. The latter needs runs. Trent Boult will open the bowling.

    That is Jack Leach's third five-wicket haul for England and the first in this country. It is also the first time he has taken five wickets in the first innings of a Test match.

    My live texting figures so far this afternoon: Ten balls, four runs and two wickets.

    That will give Leach a lot of confidence. He has had a lot of ill luck over his career so far. That was a lovely catch at the end. Bairstow was in again, challenging the batter to hit it over him, and he initially ran back on the wrong line.

    Jonny Bairstow took that catch right in front of the loudest section of the Western Terrace and absolutely loved it.

    Wagner c Bairstow b Leach 4 (NZ 329 all out)

    Sensational catch from Johnny Bairstow which brings an end to New Zealand's innings and provides Jack Leach with a five-wicket haul.

    Wagner dances down and takes a wild heave. Bairstow, runs in two or three different directions, keeping his eye on the prize, before diving to take a clean catch. Brilliant movement and grab.

    Can New Zealand wring out another 30 runs or so? It looks like no at the moment.

    Southee c Stokes b Leach 33 (NZ 329-9)

    Tim Southee was never going to defend. He has a good old hoick to Jack Leach and ends up playing the shot one handed.

    A leading edge sends the ball in the direction of Ben Stokes at mid-off. Easy catch. Leach has his fourth wicket.

    Wagner can bat. He has got a 66 not out. He will certainly defend a bit more than Southee will.

  20. NZ 329-8published at 117 overs

    I don't know how to respond to you, George.

    Matthew Potts bowls to new man Neil Wagner, who drives at a delivery outside off. Play and a miss.

    But Wagner is off the mark with a solid punch past mid-off. Ben Stokes is on the chase but it races through to the boundary.

    Anyone know what ever happened to that fella Wagner from X Factor fame?
