12:13pm Boult leads New Zealand out after registering yet another fifer that helped them take the last five England wickets for just 66 runs this morning. Root and Foakes were in the mood from the get go but once Root was dismissed by Boult, the others fell rather quickly to hand New Zealand a narrow advantage. How big will the 14-run lead be? Andrew Miller will be back shortly with the resumption.

James Anderson has 9 today batting at 11. What is the most scored by a batter at that spot? Andrew Miller quietly slips me the link. Tom: "The real battle in this game and series: Boult vs Anderson - who can be the best number 11 of all time! Anderson just 5 runs behind Boult's record of 623..."
