5.06pm 553 is New Zealand's highest score on English soil... and they've chugged along at a very brisk rate of 3.8 an over... meaning they've got oodles of time to turn the screw with the ball. Tom Blundell was Mitchell's main ally, after missing out at Lord's, he reached three figures here, while Michael Bracewell on debut made 49. For England, James Anderson took 3 for 62, stunning figures in such circumstances. The rest... seven for 491.. ouch.

Handshakes all round for Mitchell as he leaves the field. How can England fare in reply? We'll find out soon enough.

karan: "This is great moment for NZ, they have mixed year but the truth is everytime they have looked to win the Test , here also with a marvellous innings by Mitchell and Blundell. Can Southee, Boult and others tune in now?"

Maneesh: "Everybody with a ll in their name have played well in NZ innings. Going by that Ollie can be a hero for England today"

Chashuman : "Chris Martin makes the list! I hope you've watched the video "How to bat like Chris Martin"." If you haven't, you have now. I once interviewed him about that video, in fact. One of his proudest accolades

AussieBren: "I'm not sure what's worse, Mitchell missing out on a 200 or Boult being stranded with one run left to become the world's best no.11!" It's cruel squared

Swarnanka: "Rajasthan Royals promoting certain players up the batting order has done wonders to their batting: Jos Buttler, Ravi Ashwin, Trent Boult - and their countries are/will be reaping the rewards"

Potts replaces Leach

Mitchell on strike. It'll be pretty cold captaincy if he can get to his 200 in this over, and Latham calls them in with Boult stranded!
