    According to a few sources, the DRS system is not working.

    It's worth a look, you would think. It's hit him around the kneeroll.

  3. Alex Hartley

    Blundell was thinking about reviewing that for a long time. He probably felt like he was bang in front and walked off, but it was really peculiar he didn't have a chat with Mitchell.

  4. Daniel Norcross
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Potts has finally got a wicket! And my word has he deserved it. Blundell has walked out without referring. He's shaking his head - if he doesn't think it's out then I'm not quite sure why he didn't refer it.

    WICKET

    Blundell lbw b Potts 55 (NZ 243-6)

    Matthew Potts' luck has turned! He finally has a wicket!

    It was a touch full and was drifting down leg, but Potts was convinced.

    Tom Blundell waited a long time before deciding against the review and walking off shaking his head.

  6. Alex Hartley
    England World Cup winner on BBC Test Match Special

    I'd like to see Broad bowl, but Potts has bowled very well. He's been unlucky.

    Looking forward to the morning session, I'm running 20km as part of prepping for the Dorney marathon in October. I'll have TMS For company - just setting off now, hopefully back before the lunch interval! Keep up the good work.

  8. NZ 243-5

    Jamie Overton is persisting with the short stuff with little reward so far.

    Daryl Mitchell connects well with a wristy pull shot but Ben Stokes is alert at square leg to deny the boundary.

  9. Tom Blundell continues to torment England. Here is the boundary that brought up his half-century a little earlier.

  10. NZ 238-5

    Mitchell 82, Blundell 54

    Matthew Potts is bang on the money again, persisting with that teasing line just outside off stump to complete his eighth maiden of the match.

    Potts is 0-30 from his 22 overs so far.

  11. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Tom Blundell brought up his half-century from 111 balls with his sixth four. It is his ninth score of 50 or more in Tests, three of which he has converted into centuries.

    Between them this pair have added over 600 runs in this series so far.

    Buttler would be absolutely derided for that drop, I guarantee it.

    Martin, Cornwall

    Appalling judgement from Foakes. This page would be in meltdown if Buttler had done that.

  13. NZ 238-5

    Joe Root and Ben Foakes had a little chat in the middle of that Jamie Overton over and look to have adjusted Root's position.

    Little consolation to Matthew Potts however, who must wonder what he needs to do to take a wicket this match.

  14. NZ 238-5

    Shot.

    Great control from Tom Blundell as he pulls a short ball backward of square for four.

    Blundell goes for a repeat the next delivery but Jonny Bairstow makes a fine one-handed stop.

  15. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It's a bad miss. It was destined for the belly button of Root.

  16. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Oh no... Foakes has stolen that. It's a major error. It was going straight into Root's waist.

  17. dropped catch

    Mitchell dropped on 80

    Oh no!

    Matthew Potts tempts Daryl Mitchell into a wafty drive again and the ball looks to be fizzing straight to Joe Root at first slip. But Ben Foakes dives in front of the former skipper and cannot hold on to it.

  18. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Bairstow at point is closer than normal. That was a sliced drive and it almost gave Potts his first wicket.

  19. NZ 232-5

    Very nearly pouched at point!

    Matthew Potts opens at the other end and tempts Daryl Mitchell into a sliced drive that lands just short of Jonny Bairstow.

    Potts has bowled excellently in this Test match so far without reward.

  20. 50 runs

    50 for Blundell

    The two batters share singles before Tom Blundell edges the final ball of the over fine down to third man for four to bring up his sixth Test half-century and third in as many matches.
