  1. Eng 230-3published at 46 overs

    Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root are toying with New Zealand, seemingly picking off ones and twos at will.

    Root then tries a reverse scoop! But he doesn't quite middle it, the ball squirting along the ground to point for a dot ball.

    Five off the over. The partnership is now 45 from 37 balls.

    A handful of Barmies who are here are singing Mitchell Johnson's song to Trent Boult.

    Harsh.

    Trent Boult comes around the wicket to Jonny Bairstow and this is angling way down leg, clipping Bairstow's pads down to fine leg for four byes

    Bairstow and Joe Root share a couple of singles each to complete another productive over for England.

  5. Women's Test update - Cross gets her secondpublished at 13:53 British Summer Time 27 June 2022

    In just the second over after lunch, Kate Cross gets her second wicket of the day.

    A hint of away shape finds Sune Luus' edge and it's a screamer of a catch in the slips by Nat Sciver diving to her left.

    The dangerous South Africa captain is gone for 27.

    South Africa struggling at 89-5.

    England seem to have overcome the set back of losing Ollie Pope.

    Trent Boult has been expensive which is unusual.

  7. Eng 217-3published at 44 overs

    The loss of Ollie Pope has not halted England's momentum. They have added 34 runs already this morning.

    It is going to take something remarkable from New Zealand if they are to turn this around.

    He has just stood and whacked it basically! Jonny Bairstow is not hanging around.

    Eng 215-3published at 43.3 overs

    Oof. Jonny Bairstow wants this done!

    It's in the slot from Tim Southee and Bairstow simply launches back over his head for a massive six.

    The players are back underway after lunch in the women's Test match between England and South Africa, with the visitors resuming on 83-4.

    The first ball from debutant Lauren Bell is thrashed through the covers for four by Marizanne Kapp as she attempts to put some pressure back on England, who were brilliant in the morning session.

    Good response from Trent Boult, who gets one to bite on the pitch, angle away and whistle past Jonny Bairstow's bat.

    That was beautifully timed by Jonny Bairstow - the crowd are loving it.

  13. Eng 208-3published at 42.2 overs

    How do you bowl to someone like Jonny Bairstow when he is in form like this?

    Bairstow works the ball into the onside for two before smashing the next ball square into the off-side for another boundary.

    Here is the first wicket to fall this morning as Tim Southee removed Ollie Pope's off stump.

  15. Eng 202-3published at 42 overs

    And that's a maiden. Tim Southee has started well this morning.

  16. Eng 202-3published at 41.2 overs

    That's a good comeback from Tim Southee as he gets two deliveries to fizz past Joe Root's outside edge. Well bowled.

    Root just smiles as a frustrated Southee trudges back to his marker.

    Well that has released a fair bit of pressure...

    And again!

    Jonny Bairstow guides a lovely late cut down to third man for four to complete a brilliant over for England.

    The 200 is up for England and the target is down below 100.

    That was barely an aggressive shot. It was a little bit short - he turned the wrists slightly and it was just a pat. For normal players it's a single.
