    Carse takes a wicket just before tea, but it was oh so close to a no ball. 172-3.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    No further score, so 172-3 at tea.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    A big session now to end the day. England really need a minimum of 3 wickets to have any claim to be even on the day, although I'm sure Stokes will want one or two more to justify his decision to bowl first.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    A touch of fortune, but Williamson is gone; he plays a ball from Potts down into the ground, and it bounces back up behind him and loops down onto the stumps. 185-4.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Root misses one in the slips now.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    But Stokes takes a decent chance at mid-off off of Atkinson, 206-5.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Potts gets another, caught by Crawley, and NZ are 212-6.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    231-7, Bethell with a good catch off Carse. Fair to say Stokes will be feeling pretty good now , especially considering the wicketless first session.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    A fantastic catch by Brook on the boundary; his momentum takes him over the rope so he lobs the ball up and casually hops back over the rope to complete a legitimate catch.

    England then form a guard of honour as Southee comes out to bat in his final test match.

    272-8.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Southee manages to hit a few 6s before holing out off Atkinson with Carse taking a steepling catch. 303-9.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    315-9 at close of play. Some quick runs for NZ in the last session, but 6 wickets for England which is a good comeback considering NZ were 93-0 at lunch.

    Those sixes take him level with Chris Gayle in Test cricket!

    Yeah, it's crazy, isn't it? Only 3 men have hit more 6s in Test matches than Southee, and he's only 2 more away from being joint 3rd.

    NZ frustrate England for the first hour of the morning session, but Potts strikes with the first ball after drinks. NZ all out for 347.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Crawley goes to a somewhat dubious caught and bowled, it looked as though the ball may have hit the ground as the catch was taken. 32-1.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    And Duckett goes lbw, 33-2.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    54-2 at lunch.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Bethell goes, 77-3.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    And Brook chops on first ball, 77-4.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Root too, 82-5
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Pope goes in the first over of spin, 134-6, still 213 behind.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Stokes goes in the second over of spin, 137-7.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Atkinson gone, 141-8
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Carse gone, 141-9, still 206 behind.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    143 all out. Tea.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    NZ 35-1, Atkinson with the wicket as Latham chops on.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    124-2, Bethell takes the catch off Stokes, the lead is 328.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Stokes gets the nightwatchman, caught behind, 128-3.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    136-3 at the close, a lead already of 340 runs.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Having won the T20 series 3-0 and the ODI series 2-1, our ladies are playing a one-off Test match against South Africa. England won the toss and elected to bat, and are currently 96-1 coming up to lunch.
