    12.5 checked drive to wide long-off! A wicket out of the blue, and a rare systems failure for Bairstow's off-side play! Opened his stance, looked for the loft over extra cover, but skewed his shot too straight, and Mitchell was lurking inside the rope to gobble the offering 64/2
    7.4 edged and gone this time! Malan has a flash outside off, Henry had troubled him in the channel all innings long, but his feet didn't stride with the same purpose on that stroke, and an over-balanced reaching drive gives Latham a comfortable catch 40/1

    41.1 reverse-sweep and bowled him! Huge scalp! Phillips the golden-arm! That is a critical blow, too full for the stroke, the ball just sneaks under his bat, through his legs, and into his leg stump... a fine innings, but he's left the door open to the tail, and bang goes 300 par! 229/7
    16.6 Ravindra strikes back. One of his best mates and Wellington team-mate Conway snags the catch in the deep this time. Stokes throws his head back in despair in the dressing room. This is shortish once again, fairly closer to off, but this sort of sticks in the surface and messes with Brook's pull. He splices it in the air, Conway runs around from deep square leg and pouches it. All-action first over from Ravindra 94/3

    21.2 Moeen was sent to tackle Ravindra and Santner. Latham gives him GP who strikes with his second ball. GP wheels away in celebration. Pushed through flat and quick, skids on and pings off stump. Moeen swipes and misses. NZ's spinners are doing the job for their side 118/4
    33.2 Henry returns and takes out Buttler! Nicked off to Latham. Back of a length, threatens to angle in at off but leaves Buttler outside off with extra bounce and snags the outside edge. Latham does the rest behind the stumps. Henry continues to step up in the absence of Ferguson and Southee. Replays indicate it was the wobble-seam variation from Henry 188/5
    38.5 chipped straight to long-on! Soft dismissal from Livingstone, but full credit to Boult, those dots were on his mind, and finally he gets one angled into his pads from round the wicket again, and looks for the launch. But it's another knuckleball, Livingstone can't get enough power through the clip and 4long-on is poised to pounce! 221/6
    45.4 Short, swishes outside off, and a thin snick to the keeper! England's innings is falling in a heap now! Curran lined up the cut, but the angle from round the wicket was following him all the way. Steepling bounce from Henry as standard, and Latham swallows the edge 252/9
    44.6 Lots of air, takes all the pace off, Woakes is drawn into the wide-eyed hack, and point swallows a steepling leading edge! 250/8
