1.50pm Well, that was short and to the point. Three wickets in five balls for Leach, to cap a fine display from England's under-fire left-armer. He has had a huge amount of faith invested in him by his captain Stokes, who gave him 23 consecutive overs on the first afternoon, and he's served up the rewards with this rapid docking of New Zealand's tail. Either way, 329 is a score on the board, but perhaps some 50 runs less than they would have targeted one ball before lunch...

Rivlud: "Hats off to Jack Leach, he's bowled incredibly well, economy rate fantastic and grabbed crucial wickets for his team! I've seen people pushing Parkinson but no freaking way! Leach has done more for England than many will in their entire careers!"

Sanjay: "Not sure why there is so much acclaim for Jack Leach. 3 hacks caught on the boundary when NZ were accelerating and a bit of fortune off the non-striker's bat.. one of the worst 5-fers in test cricket!" Well, somewhere between those two opinions lies the truth about a fine servant to the England team, and a popular chap too. You could see how pleased his team-mates were for him after that haul. And yes, they were ugly hacks, but the Mitchell dismissal was an exceptional piece of psychology from Stokes too, with mid-off and mid-on brought up to tempt the stroke. It required Leach to serve up the right delivery to spring the trap.

Jason: ""Bairstow bags 5" "1 ball before tea" whoever's doing this commentary needs to lay off the wine" He took the catch to bag the five-for, duh! Honestly, some people are just obtuse

Galle and Pallekele are the venues for Leach's two previous five-fors. The Western Terrace will love this to be his third
