    Just waking up? Here's a quick summary of what has gone on while you slept.

    England made another rapid start in the first session. Nighthawk Staurt Broad was out early but Ollie Pope and Joe Root quickly took on the attack, smacking Neil Wagner's short balls over the rope.

    Pope was out for 49 but Harry Brook smashed 54 from 41 balls while Joe Root fell for 57 from 62 playing another reverse sweep.

    In the second session England batted relatively slowly, seemingly a tactic to stretch out their innings so they began bowling at New Zealand under the lights with the new ball.

    Ben Foakes made 51 from 80 balls while Ollie Robinson hit 39 from 48.

    Ben Stokes came in below Foakes and did manage to hit the six he needed to overtake Brendon McCullum's Test record before being stumped.

    England were finally bowled out 20 minutes into the final session and are about to begin their quest for 10 wickets for victory.

    New Zealand's target is 394.

  2. Chris Woakes
    England all-rounder on BT Sport

    New Zealand will know that England are putting a lot of eggs in the basket for this session, to try and get as many wickets as possible.

    It's a window, that if you get through it, tomorrow you can go on and score big runs.

    They've got players in that batting line-up that can score big. The likes of Williamson and Conway.

  3. Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BT Sport

    That is a big chase. But if I'm looking for positives for New Zealand, every top-order batsman - excluding the Hawk - got double figures which means there are no nightmares in the pitch.

    What England haven't done is gone on to get a hundred in either the first or second innings, which is the difference between 350 and 450. So there is a chance for New Zealand.

    If people get going and they get through the next two hours, the conditions are OK for them.

  4. New Zealand have to pull off their highest run-chase and the record chase in the country to win this.

    There are still two days left after this.

    It's not going to be a draw.

  5. New Zealand will need 394 to win this match.

    WICKET

    Leach st Blundell b Bracewell 12 (Eng 374 all out)

    A slow, loopy delivery from spinner Michael Bracewell tempts Jack Leach to charge down the pitch. He misses with his swing and is stumped.

    Forget about the declaration. England are all out.

    It's probably 25 minutes earlier than planned but I doubt they'll mind too much.

  7. Eng 369-9

    Lead by 388

    I can hear some slightly surprised "wheeeys" coming through the TV mics as Jack Leach, with both feet off the ground, slaps a four off Scott Kuggeleijn.

    Suddenly Leach turned into peak Sanath Jayasuriya.

  8. Eng 363-9

    The shadows are lengthening across the ground. Neil Wagner is down in the shade on the boundary edge signing an autograph.

    That signed bat might be worth something in a few years. Neil Wagner on the day he conceded 110 in 13 overs.

  9. Eng 363-9

    Right on cue! Anderson misses with his favourite shot this time.

  10. Eng 363-9

    How long until we see the reverse sweep from James Anderson?

    What a surreal cricketing world we live in to think that we actually needed to slow down in that second session!

  12. Eng 358-9

    Lead by 377

    Anderson has arrived to increasingly golden but still bright evening sunshine. Ideally England would delay the end of their innings by another half an hour at least.

    We have already seen New Zealand's top-order struggle to deal with Anderson, Broad and Robinson once in this match.

  13. James Anderson is coming out to bat.

    No declaration yet.

  14. wicket

    WICKET

    Robinson c Nicholls b Kuggeleijn 39 (Eng 358-9)

    But this one is out.

    It's another short ball and on this occasion it hits Ollie Robinson on the glove before looping to slip.

    A good innings is over.

  15. Eng 358-9

    We saw this a lot in the first session. A New Zealand seamer, this time Scott Kuggeleijn, bangs the ball in and an England batter clubs the ball to the fence.

    This time it's not Ollie Pope or Harry Brook but Ollie Robinson.

  16. Eng 354-8

    Robinson 35, Leach 2

    Well I was going to say England will likely knock it around for half an hour and then have a slog for 20 minutes but here Ollie Robinson hits a boundary off the third ball of the session.

    In fairness it's not an overly aggressive shot, more a neat paddle sweep around the corner.

  17. Eng 349-8

    Lead by 368

    But England's batters are back out in the middle. As expected there has been no declaration yet.

    We're back under way.

  18. Ollie RobinsonGetty Images

    If England declared right now, with a lead of 368, the hosts would already require a record fourth-innings chase in New Zealand.

    The currently record is their score of 324-5 against Pakistan in 1994.

    It would be the 11th highest chase anywhere in the world.

  19. It's because this is a day-night Test, Colin.

    In these games the tea interval is the shorter one - the first break in the day.
