    Ex-New Zealand batter on BBC Test Match Special

    The wicket seems to be slowing a bit, so if England can get to 175 they will be happy.

  2. Eng 154-3

    Brilliant over from Lockie Ferguson.

    Just six runs and the wicket from the over.

    New Zealand would take that every day of the week at the moment.

  3. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Very well bowled by Lockie Ferguson, sticking with the full and straight.

    It was too ambitious from Livingstone to go for the ramp again but that's a valuable cameo at this stage of the game.

    WICKET

    Livingstone b Ferguson 20 (Eng 153-3)

    He goes for the repeat shot and gets bowled!

    The Lancashire man probably goes too far outside off stump this time and ends up losing his balance a little bit and misses with the attempted ramp.

    England have sent Harry Brook in next.

  5. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Oh, that's beautifully played. He flicked his wrists right at the very last moment to get it past the fielder.

  6. Eng 153-2

    I'm convinced that one day Liam Livingstone is going to put his back out.

    He has an almighty heave at Lockie Ferguson but misses.

    He improvises next ball and ramps wide of short fine leg and away to the boundary. He's up to 20.

  7. Here's how Moeen Ali was dismissed.

    A selfless dismissal from the vice captain.

  8. Eng 148-2

    Trent Boult hasn't had a great day. He finishes his four overs with 0-40.

    Three to go - 180 is definitely on.

  9. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    I can't tell you how hard that is. It was a slower ball so he had to put so much of his own power behind it.

    Buttlerg

    That is extraordinary. He's hit it with a horizontal bat!

  11. 6 runs

    Eng 145-2

    My days.

    Jos Buttler stands there and tennis serve style whacks Trent Boult back down the ground.

    A serious shot.

    England are showing New Zealand little, to no, respect here.

  12. Not out

    No, he's home by a bat length.

  13. Umpire review

    Has Liam Livingstone need run out at the non-striker's end?

    Nobody seems too interested.

  14. Here's the second time Jos Buttler was dropped.

    You can't afford to drop a player of his quality once, let alone twice.

  15. Ravi Bopara
    Former England all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    98 metres! That is a massive hit.

  16. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    That is the longest boundary by absolute miles.

  17. 6 runs

    Eng 137-2

    Buttler 64, Livingstone 13

    Huge!

    Liam Livingstone stands there, smashes it and it goes 98m over mid-wicket. It went seriously high in the air too.

    King Charles might have retrieved that in the crowd too.

    England have a seriously good platform here.

  18. Jos Buttler is now England's highest run-scorer in T20 cricket.

    These runs helped him get there.

    The intent is pretty clear, isn't it! This doesn't look like an easy end to bowl from because that square boundary is so short, it gives the bowler a lot to think about.
