- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.4 huge appeal for caught behind! Not given, and New Zealand review. Short outside off, Smith went for a big square cut. Has he snicked it? Yes, he has. Clear spike 7/14.2 taken at mid-on! Ravindra judges this well running back. Bad to worse for England. Short of a length, angled across outside off, Duckett tries to pull it and can only get a top edge. Ravindra had to make some ground but always looked safe under it 17/33.1 big appeal, and given! Another booming inswinger. Hoops back from outside off, catches Root on the crease and he doesn't bother to review. Umpire's call on impact, smashing off stump 15/26.3 edged, taken at second slip! Good length outside off, Brook gets half forward, pushing away from the body a little, perhaps trying to run it to deep third, sends a regulation edge which is taken low. Basically provided catching practice 31/410.1 slashed and held by the leaping Mitchell at slip! Bethell joins the procession (although at least he had made it into double-figures). There was some width to work with here but Duffy's extra bounce found the top edge. NZ are in such a commanding position they could afford to keep the slip in, and Mitchell got both hands around a flying take above his head. England five down and reeling 44/523.1 cleaned up! What a sight for Tickner. That's a terrific delivery. Pitched up on a good length, nips back off the seam, through the gate of Buttler's drive. Off stump goes for a walk 102/721.3 played on! The stand is broken. Back of a length around off stump, a bit of a tentative prod at it, takes an inside edge into the back pad then into the stumps 97/640.2 toe ended, high into the covers, and taken! Nicely bowled from Santner, throws it wider outside off, Overton had to reach a long way for it and could only skew it straight up in the air 222/1031.3 honked straight up and taken! Tickner goes full with a scrambled seam and it grips enough to defeat Carse's wild swipe across the line. Steepling catch for Mitchell in the covers but he makes no mistake. Breaks the stand, England eight down 160/835.6 goes again, but miscued! High off the splice and Bracewell scurries forward from mid-on for a comfortable catch. Archer's resistance comes to and end.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR12.5 deflected into the non-striker's stumps, Conway's kippered! Firmly struck drive from Ravindra and it brings about the downfall of his great Wellington mate. Overton didn't know too much about it, sticking down a hand and inadvertently sending the ball stumps-ward, straight into middle. Conway had barely any time to react while backing up 78/113.3 bowled 'im! Scrambled seam, gets the ball to come back through the gate with Ravindra driving. NZ lose both openers in the space of an over - and with Ravindra having looked so good to this point. Will that inject a little jeopardy into the chase? 81/214.4 skied to the keeper, we have a game! Young's lean series comes to an end with an ugly hoick across the line off Overton's short ball. Plenty of height but no distance and Buttler settles under the catch to his left. NZ lose their third wicket in as many overs 92/338.3 edged, caught behind! Curran claims the massive wicket of Mitchell. Change of angle works. Length ball, angled in at off stump, hint of shape away, gets the edge through to Buttler 196/821.1 not another one?! A full delivery is driven firmly back to the bowler who deflects it into the non-striker's stumps...yes, Latham's short! Goodness me, two in one innings. Very similar deflection to the Overton, you couldn't make it up 113/429.1 strikes first ball! Well, that answers the question. Full outside off, Bracewell targets the short boundary with a slog sweep but can't get the elevation 147/535.4 skewed in the air, taken at mid-off! Well, Santner won't see it home. Short of a length, swings across the line, takes a top edge and it's a simple catch for Brook 188/636.2 through him! Well, well. Back of a length, nips in off the seam, squeezes between bat and pad. Smith late on it.
