11.40am So, Glenn Phillips takes the plaudits after his fifth Test fifty... on his watch, New Zealand have added a handy 29 runs in 40 minutes this morning. It's a score on the board, how will England approach this, in conditions that are offering some movement through the air, if not necessarily off the pitch. Back in five.

Carse to O'Rourke, OUT, yorker! That's perfection. He took his time to target the tailender's stumps, but when he did it was dynamite. Plucking the off stump out of the ground with late swing, and that is a career-best four-for to see out the innings

W O'Rourke b Carse 0 (35m 13b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Three slips in situ

Carse to Phillips, 4 byes, huge inducker! "Oh wow!" says Phillips, who is doing his own commentary at the moment. Full, fast, shaping in and nipping back, beating Pope's despairing dive
