Brook moves to 99 with a single off Bracewell and brings up the 150 partnership in the process.

Fine, fine work from this pair.

Brook adds two more to his tally as he edges towards three figures.

A full-blooded pull off Wagner finds the boundary fielder, while a punchy drive on one knee also only yields a single.

Tight over from Bracewell, who will have to do a lot of work from here with New Zealand only fielding three frontline seamers.

Just the single off it as Brook works one square.

Wagner continues to leak singles, before Brook finishes off the over with a drive past mid-off for three.

That's drinks at the Basin Reserve, which has brightened up a bit.

Full and wide from Neil Wagner, who struggled in the first session when he was dragging it too short.

Joe Root takes advantage here, throwing his hands at the ball and sending it through point for his first four since lunch.

Thank goodness someone is thinking about the Sunrisers in all of this...

Brook drives beautifully through the covers for another four. He enters the 90s - I doubt they'll be particularly nervous.

The England pair work two singles off the remaining four balls of the over.

Michael Bracewell returns in place of Daryl Mitchell for his first bowling contribution since his single over before lunch.

Root takes a big step back and works him round the corner for a single - that's England's 150.

Just to mark your card, the record for the fastest to 1,000 Test runs is jointly held by Wally Hammond and Everton Weekes, 12 innings. Harry Brook is past 700 in his ninth. Don Bradman got there in 13. Rarefied air.

Brook smacks the following ball into Henry's who just manages to deflect it away.

Stinger!

Neil Wagner was seen to be warming up, but Matt Henry continues here as he tries to break this partnership.

Well, that's not going to do it. Only marginally over-pitched from Henry and Brook nonchalantly clouts him down the ground for a one-bounce four.

A couple of baseball-style slaps through the covers from Brook, but there's not a great deal of pace on the ball from Daryl Mitchell and they go for two apiece.

Remember - New Zealand have dropped a seamer in favour of an additional batter in this match, so Mitchell will have to do a fair amount of bowling.

This is a fantastic spell from Matt Henry.

Root works him round his legs for two but then finds the fielder at mid-wicket with the final delivery of the over. The England batter does a little skip of frustration as he turns back to ground his bat.

Kumaran Ravendradas: Don't get why Root seems to be doubting how he should be playing in this Bazball era. He needs to keep playing the way he has always done especially in the first innings. This wicket is all the more reason he needs to play his way. If he bats all day today, England win.

Oooof, that was tight.

Root tried to work the ball through the square and it raps his pads half-way up. It looks out, but Hawk-eye offers a reprieve, it's umpire's call on leg stump.

New Zealand retain their review, and gain a bit of hope.

Matt Henry has been troubling Harry Brook, but does he have Joe Root lbw here?

Not out says the umpire, but Tim Southee sends it upstairs.

And another!

This one has more of a brutal quality, smeared over mid-wicket. It's evidently enough to damage the ball on landing - the umpires have some scissors out to do some repairs on the seam.

Mitchell serves Brook a half-volley from Brook and he sends him straight back over his head and over the ropes for a maximum!

Lovely clean shot.
