    Ben Duckett needs runs in this innings.

  2. England's batters make their way to the middle, with Ben Duckett some way ahead of Emilio Gay.

    Nathan Smith is going to open the bowling for New Zealand with Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson out of the side for this match.

    New Zealand lost 10 for 121. It’s a concern how England will fare. It’s 239 to avoid the follow-on!

    Patrick, Somerset

    First question. How many do we need to avoid the follow on. Feeling optimistic.

    Ian, Exeter

    What do we think of this pitch then? Other than the two openers, no one else made much more than 36. Is the a concern for England’s reply?

    New Zealand haven't made the most of the start they had, thanks to Ben Stokes really. He looked like he could get a wicket every single delivery. He's got that bit between his teeth.

    We could hear him on the stump mic saying 'lads get around a little bit quicker, let's have some energy' and you could see that in his bowling.

    New Zealand should be disappointed with that with the start they had. England have brought themselves back into the game really nicely.

    After putting on 317 runs for the first wicket, New Zealand lost their last nine wickets for 121 runs.

    Not a single fifty-plus partnership in this innings after that massive 317-run stand. England have done a brilliant job here.

  6. Ben Stokes the pick of the England bowlers, finishing with 4-70, while Shoaib Bashir and Jofra Archer picked-up two wickets apiece and Joe Root and Gus Atkinson one each.

    Andy Zaltzman informs us that Josh Tongue went wicketless for the first time since the first innings of his debut - this is his 12th Test.

    Tom Latham and Devon Conway scored 151 and 157 respectively, but the next highest scorer was Henry Nicholls with 36.

    A great fightback from England. The situation they were in yesterday for England, to get them out below 450 is an incredible effort. Ben Stokes was brilliant with the ball in his hand.

    That is it.

    Ben Sears is near enough off the field by the time the ball tracking comes through - a golden duck for him finishes New Zealand's innings.

    New Zealand lost 10 wickets for 121 after an opening stand of 317.

  9. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on Test Match Special

    Feels very out to me.

  10. New Zealand review

    Is that it?

    Blair Tickner takes three down to point to get off strike, meaning Ben Sears gets to face his first delivery.

    Jofra Archer strikes him full on the pad, up goes the umpire's finger.

    Sears, as the last man, is going to double-check but this is hopeful.

    Re. Glory Gardens - I also greatly enjoyed Hurricane Hamish, the calypso cricketer. From memory he bowled rockets, barefooted.

    Jamie

    Loved the Glory Gardens books as a kid but lost them after leaving my parents house. Ended up being another copy a few years ago and now my nephews are getting into cricket I can’t wait to share with them.

    Gareth, Hartlepool

    Re cricket literature, does anyone recall Peter Tinniswood's Tales From A Long Room? Some 'old-fashioned' attitudes but still funny.

    Patrick, Orpington

  12. NZ 435-9

    Ouch.

    Jofra Archer strikes Blair Tickner's helmet with a short delivery.

    We'll have a concussion check, while the players will take the chance to take on some unofficial drinks.

    Blundell lbw b Bashir 30 (NZ 435-9)

    Bashir celebrates after dismissing Blundell for LBWGetty Images

    Looked out, is out.

    All reds on the technology and Tom Blundell is on his way.

    England need one more wicket to wrap this innings up.

  14. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Tom Blundell looks like he's given it up. He's not off the pitch yet but he's closer to the dressing room.

  15. New Zealand review

    A second wicket in the over for Shoaib Bashir?

    Tom Blundell tries to reverse sweep and is struck low on the pad.

    Up goes the umpire's finger, Blundell is going to review as the last remaining member of the middle-order.

    Bashir throws ball in air to celebrate the catchGetty Images

    Caught on the second attempt!

    Nathan Smith smacks Shoaib Bashir's delivery back at the bowler at chest height.

    The spinner parries the ball having thrown his hands up, then gathers comfortably as it dropped again.

  17. Jeremy Coney
    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    New Zealand are fighting to get to 450, anything beyond that they'll probably feel happy with.

  18. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    The crowd are just sensing something here with Jofra Archer bowling.

  19. NZ 433-7

    Having seen Tom Blundell dropped, Jofra Archer bangs his next delivery off Nathan Smith's thigh and bottom hand, with the ball dropping just wide of leg stump.

    Almost, almost...

  20. Jeremy Coney
    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    New Zealand are looking like they're interested in making runs
