- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR25.1 and another one! Full and Cook pokes at it just outside off and gets an edge to third slip where Brownlie proves he's safe hands again. Full ball around off stump, slid across the left-hander and Cook was a little late in getting across to it and got a thick edge as the bat came down a little late 67/33.6 Southee induces the edge! Southee did well to pitch it up to get Compton driving, the ball moved away after pitching, the outside edge ballooned towards Brownlie at third slip, he cups it in front of his face 11/124.6 drives at this though outside off and nicks it through to the keeper. Third loose drive of the morning from Trott and this time he's paid the price, a thin edge to McCullum trying to drive through the covers, the delivery just kept going away from him, having previously swung back into the middle of his bat 67/251.3 back and pushing at one outside off stump and he nicks it to the keeper. A thin edge that was well taken and another batsman goes after making a start for himself. Bell was hanging back trying to dab it into the covers but the ball slid on past his stroke and feathered the outside edge 146/480.1 and they do, as Root chases a back of a length ball that left him outside off stump and he nicks it to the keeper. Poor stroke really, followed it outside off and it should have been left. First ball with the new cherry, it just nipped a little down the slope 270/582.6 just leaves Bairstow a little and he can't get the bat out of the way in time and gets an edge to McCullum and a second strike for Boult with the second new ball. It was slid across the right-hander and he tried to leave but hung the bat out and got an edge from the toe of the bat 279/695.4 caught at first slip! Southee pitches it up outside off and he has Prior playing a flashy drive, the ball moves away, takes the thick outside edge and Taylor cups it in front of his face at slip 345/884.1 full length just outside off stump, Broad pokes at it and gets a little inside edge to the keeper. That's a fifth catch of the day for Brendon McCullum. No footwork from Broad and he pushed at a very full ball which nipped back enough to take the inside edge 286/798.3 timber! This was just like the previous ball, full and swinging in on the off stump, Finn tries to get his high backlift down for the drive, hits the off stump and it goes back a few yards 354/998.6 sharp catch! Boult gets five! He pitches it up on the off stump, Anderson was forward and got a leading edge that went low to Boult who adjusted quickly in his follow through and took the catch inches off the ground 354/10Extras22 (b 9, lb 7, nb 1, w 5)TOTAL354 all out (99 Overs, RR: 3.57, 447 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Nick Compton, 3.6 ov), 2-67 (Jonathan Trott, 24.6 ov), 3-67 (Alastair Cook, 25.1 ov), 4-146 (Ian Bell, 51.3 ov), 5-270 (Joe Root, 80.1 ov), 6-279 (Jonny Bairstow, 82.6 ov), 7-286 (Stuart Broad, 84.1 ov), 8-345 (Matt Prior, 95.4 ov), 9-354 (Steven Finn, 98.3 ov), 10-354 (James Anderson, 98.6 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.2 breakthrough! Finn ends the promising start...short of a length, angling into the body, Fulton aims to work it to the leg side and gets a healthy leading edge which goes a long way up towards the off side and Finn steadies himself under a simple catch 55/117.5 well bowled! Excellent work from Finn. He'd worked over Rutherford in this over, who couldn't reign in his strokeplay. Full outside off, draws him into another drive and it squirts off a thick outside edge to a backward point. Key wicket for England moments before lunch 62/228.6 Appeal for a lbw and Cook's reviewing it, Swann landed it outside off and Williamson had shuffled across and exposed his leg stump when the ball spun and struck the pad, the umpire shook his head and the ball tracker shows the ball hitting the top of the leg stump, the decision is reversed 82/621.4 played on! Finn managed to get his line right, it was a pacy delivery cramping up Taylor for room, he was trying to fend it off the backfoot but ended up dragging the ball to the off stump, Finn's got all three 72/326.6 the bowling change works! Brownlie beaten for turn, Swann drifts it in and lands the ball on the footmarks wide of the off stump, Brownlie was forward to defend, couldn't account for the turn, the ball shaves the off stump 79/428.4 Swann's done it again! Almost an action replay of the Brownlie dismissal, after bowling two quicker and flatter deliveries he gives it more air, Guptill was forward, the ball lands on the footmark again, spins and goes through the gap between pad and bat, hits the top of the off stump 81/539.1 and another! The collapse continues. You have to feel for McCullum, though. He's out driving at a length ball as he was in the first innings at Lord's. Can't do an awful lot when he's batting down at No. 7 122/935.5 Very full and the ball was squeezed towards mid-on...big appeal for lbw and England review. If it was pad first this is very close...first issues is whether the third umpire is certain it was pad first. It is, and that's out. Hitting middle half way up. Another good review by England. No fault of the on-field umpire, but replays used well 119/738.3 he'll wish he'd taken that single now...props forward to a length ball and pops a catch towards silly point where Ian Bell snaffles a pretty sharp chance. Umpire Erasmus takes his time before raising the finger, but Bracewell doesn't consider a review 122/843.4 that is that...Anderson cleans up Wagner as he misses a swing across the line 174/10Extras6 (lb 5, w 1)TOTAL174 all out (43.4 Overs, RR: 3.98, 211 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-55 (Peter Fulton, 13.2 ov), 2-62 (Hamish Rutherford, 17.5 ov), 3-72 (Ross Taylor, 21.4 ov), 4-79 (Dean Brownlie, 26.6 ov), 5-81 (Martin Guptill, 28.4 ov), 6-82 (Kane Williamson, 28.6 ov), 7-119 (Tim Southee, 35.5 ov), 8-122 (Doug Bracewell, 38.3 ov), 9-122 (Brendon McCullum, 39.1 ov), 10-174 (Neil Wagner, 43.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR61.2 tries to come down the wicket and drive over the top but miscues it straight to mid-off so Cook departs after a splendid century that has set his side up nicely. He tried to take a ball on the stumps over the top and might have got done by a little turn, it came off the outer half of the bat, not at all timed, and presented a simple catch to the fielder going a few steps to his right 206/219.5 New Zealand are appealing for a bat-pad catch and McCullum is reviewing it, tossed up on middle and Compton was half forward, the ball deflects off the glove to the pad, lobs up and the easiest of catches to forward short leg, Rutherford and co were 100% sure it was out, the umpire wasn't, good review 72/170.2 top catch! Trott chases one with a bit of width and gets a healthy edge to McCullum's right. He dives and manages to get both hands to it 249/463.3 slog sweeps this and miscues it, straight up off a top edge and midwicket takes the catch only after a fumble from Guptill, nearly managed to spill it. Bell trying to take it from outside off over the leg side but got a big top edge 214/374.1 another one down...Root uses his feet and drives a catch to cover. Sparky innings from him 268/5Extras10 (b 8, lb 1, w 1)TOTAL287/5d (76 Overs, RR: 3.77, 319 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-72 (Nick Compton, 19.5 ov), 2-206 (Alastair Cook, 61.2 ov), 3-214 (Ian Bell, 63.3 ov), 4-249 (Jonathan Trott, 70.2 ov), 5-268 (Joe Root, 74.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.3 that really spat! Extra bounce from a good length, very tough for Fulton whose first thought was to press forward, and it takes the shoulder of the bat then loops to gully...hints of uneven bounce now in this pitch 21/120.2 inside edge onto pad and got him at short leg simple catch for Root. Rutherford was playing forward and got a little inside edge onto the front pad that rebounded to the close fielder. Just slid on with the angle from Swann and Rutherford played for a little turn 65/314.3 Williamson across his stumps again, goes to play to leg and misses and is given out lbw but Williamson reviews. Is this in line? Yes. Is it doing too much? No it's getting a good chunk of the top of leg stump so Williamson has to go, in identical fashion to the first innings 40/252.1 drive outside off and bowled him!. Swann does Taylor in the flight, he drove over the top of a ball just outside off and it spins into the stumps. Nicely floated up outside the off stump, Taylor came forward to drive and misjudged the flight, went to drive into the covers and missed it 154/643.5 a brute of a delivery from Finn, Brownlie ducks and gloves it to gully. He was trying to sway inside it but the delivery followed him and he couldn't get the hands out of the way, it rapped the gloves and looped to Bell in the gully for a simple chance 144/450.4 plays forward just outside off, get a thick edge and it's taken at slip by Trott. Just slid on and didn't turn at all, Guptill played inside it hoping for some spin but it didn't arrive and it presented a simple chance to slip 153/557.5 sharp reflex catch! Broad aims for the yorker, McCullum tries to drive straight, hits the bottom of the bat, goes low to Broad and he dives to his left and plucks it inches off the ground 162/764.4 but this time the edge finds Trott at slip and the catch is taken well with two hands by his left boot, a good grab. It was tossed up again just outside off, drawing Southee forward, he chose to try and block it again, the delivery went straight on and caught the outside edge where a third healthy nick finally finds the fielder 218/868.3 forward again just outside off and snapped up at silly point that is a fine catch with one hand. In identical fashion to the first innings, Bracewell gets beaten by the turn, it comes off the pad, deflects off the face of the bat and is taken really well down low by Ian Bell with his right hand, a much stiffer chance than in the first dig 220/976.3 and that will do it! Edged and taken by Prior, a full ball on the off stump, just left Boult a little as he played forward, he got a thick edge and Prior took the simple chance to his right-hand side, pace does the trick in the end 220/10Extras14 (b 2, lb 11, w 1)TOTAL220 all out (76.3 Overs, RR: 2.87, 328 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Peter Fulton, 7.3 ov), 2-40 (Kane Williamson, 14.3 ov), 3-65 (Hamish Rutherford, 20.2 ov), 4-144 (Dean Brownlie, 43.5 ov), 5-153 (Martin Guptill, 50.4 ov), 6-154 (Ross Taylor, 52.1 ov), 7-162 (Brendon McCullum, 57.5 ov), 8-218 (Tim Southee, 64.4 ov), 9-220 (Doug Bracewell, 68.3 ov), 10-220 (Trent Boult, 76.3 ov)
