6:05pm Welcome back! We're ready for the chase....almost. Chris Woakes has the ball. Two slips in support as Guptll takes strike...and Woakes pulls out of the stride. Unhappy with his landing.


5.24pm So, England amass a less-than-imposing 234. It was a struggle for start to finish though, and there wasn't a lot than they could have done differently in hindsight, except maybe not lose their key wickets of Morgan, Stokes and Buttler when they did. New Zealand will fancy themselves to pace this chase, but who knows what a few early wickets can do. Back shortly for the resumption.

Dave Lakin: "Hey Miller. There's no such thing as a Great black shark. There's not even a small white shark. In fact there are no black sharks at all. Just thought you should know..." You see what I did there? ... oh never mind...

Boult to Curran, 1 run, OUT, follows him down the leg-side, another eager pump into the leg side, and yet another run-out, this time a why-the-hell-not sprint for the line. You never know, Boult might have fumbled it...

Boult to Wood, no run, a swing and a miss, good line to the tailender, and he can't connect
