2.25pm: So England manage to scrape 350, but New Zealand will be pretty happy to have rounded up the last six wickets today for 112 runs. The tourists managed five 50-plus partnerships but the five others were in single-figures, as Tim Southee and Neil Wagner shared seven wickets between them. Is it a total England can work with? Maybe, though New Zealand will hope at least one of their number can produce a match-shaping hundred. Matt will be back for the start of the innings shortly

Wagner to Broad, OUT, dragged on, Wagner finishes things! Pinned back by a series of bouncers, Broad is then unable to get far enough forward to a full one, and ends up deflecting a thick inside edge into his stumps

Southee to Leach, no run, length delivery in the channel, Leach sniffs the wind and lets the ball go

Terence Jones: "Was Santner's catch legal? He only just jumped over the advertising hoardings as Wagner ran in, it's possible Buttler didn't know he was out there." Nothing in the Laws about it, far as I know. Hard to call it a deliberate act of deception...

Wagner to Buttler, OUT, slapped hard over point, picks out Santner on the rope! Buttler's handy rearguard ends with an overhit swat, trying to cash in on a short, wide delivery. Santner had in fact only just hurdled the boundary boards to get back in play as Wagner delivered the ball, having been signing autographs for the crowd!
