    1.1 pins him first ball! Bell-Drummond trapped on the crease, hit on the knee roll, and up goes the finger! He chats to his partner but won't review. Perfect length, running the ball back into the right-hander down the slops - and the perfect start for Southee 6/1
    4.3 slog-swept, taken right on the rope... and Mousley completes the relay to himself! Rossington almost gets it all the way over deep backward square but falls just short, with Mousley holding the catch and then tossing it back in as he went over the rope. Adam Milne at short fine leg was trying to get across but Mousley realised he wasn't going to get there and dived back in to complete the dismissal himself. Top work 29/3
    4.1 scooped straight to short fine leg! Swinging away outside off, not a great deal of pace on it, either... and Pepper can't manufacture the power or angle to clear the man inside the ring. Abbott emulates Southee in taking a wicket with his first ball 28/2
    4.5 bowled him, through the gate! On a length and then nipping down the slope as Lawrence pushes forward. A Test match dismissal at this grand old Test venue, and Abbott has three in five balls. Spirit rocking, but not in the good way 30/4
    12.1 skiddy length, top-edged to the fielder in the ring! Howell foxes Hetmyer, who tries to muscles this away but completely miscues his shot, offering up a loopy catch to backward point 64/6
    5.3 full, driven - snapped up at backward point! Low catch for Livingstone but safely held, and Spirit are five down! Abbott, extraordinarily, has his fourth in eight balls and thinks it's an easy game 30/5
    18.2 slower ball, carved to cover! Daws Dog's dogged knock comes to an end. Tried to hump this up and over but couldn't generate the pace off a 62mph lollipop. Snaffled above his head by the leaping Milne 104/7

    1.2 top-edged straight up, Dawson runs back to take a skyer! He had to travel a long way from first slip towards backward point/third... almost went too far, in fact, before circling back and taking a good grab. Spirit chip one out early 4/1
    2.1 leading edge, taken! Worrall gets in on the act. Donald doesn't last long either and Phoenix have lost both openers early doors. Fullish and holding its line as he closed the face, presenting a simple catch to Lawrence jogging in from mid-off 8/2
    3.2 driven crisply, and Stones gets a touch into the non-striker's stumps! Livingstone is run out backing up! The umpire is in position to raise the finger straight away and Phoenix's gun batter has to walk off. Spirit are up and brawling here 16/3
    14.4 Stone bounces him out! Big breakthrough, welcomed by the home crowd. The short ball does it, again Mousley looks to pull but only manages to top-edge it straight up, with the bowler wheeling around to complete an enthusiastically celebrated catch 89/5
    4.3 full, tempting... and nicked behind! Moeen goes for the big drive after just two balls and gets a feather through to Rossington. An audible edge and he walks. Frankie bags a second and this Phoenix chase is right in the mire at 20 for 4 20/4
    16.3 Bethell reverses... straight to cover! No sense he wanted to knock it around, goes for the boundary option but doesn't catch it right, comes off the toe of the bat and Lawrence, in slightly awkward fashion, takes a crocodile catch stumbling to his right 109/6

    18.2 Fuller jumps down and holes out! Looking to get the job done but he underclubs it and Stone takes a good low catch running in from long-off. Phoenix can't mess this up, can they? 122/7
