Atkinson to Southee, 2 runs, just past Stokes' dive! Atkinson goes fuller outside off stump and Southee has a dart with no footwork. It skews up into the off side, with Stokes sprawling after it, but even as he flings himself at full stretch to his left, he can't cling onto the chance

Atkinson to Southee, no run, hard length, looking to hit the splice. Nudged into the leg side

Atkinson to Phillips, 1 leg bye, nips in off the seam to strike Phillips on the inside thigh, before diverting away into the off side

Atkinson to Southee, 1 run, in the channel outside off, skews off the outside edge into the gully region, and Duckett's slight misfield allows Phillips to scramble through for a single

Gus Atkinson has the second new ball in his hand.

Bashir is only the second spinner - after Shakib - to take four wickets in a Test innings at Hagley Oval. Here's the proof.

Carse to Southee, 4 byes, wild bouncer! Short, springy bounce, and angling down the leg side. Pope sprawls to his left with his right arm outstretched but can't get anywhere near it
79.3

Carse to Southee, FOUR, back of a length, Southee sits deep and swipes it over midwicket for four! Aimed at the ribcage, but Southee picks the length early and beats Bethell to his left. Brings up the 300, with New Zealand already surpassing the average first-innings score here

Dylan: "Man, Phillips is still working the craft of becoming a consistent off-spinner. But once that's perfected, he will be such a quality all rounder for NZ"

Shoaib Bashir to Henry, OUT, skips down to turn this into a half-volley, and swings hard... but picks out Duckett at long-on! Oh dear. Henry and Phillips had put on 46 for the eighth wicket but this was not a percentage option with a man out there on the rope, and the stand is broken as the second new ball approaches

Carse to Henry, 1 no ball, fuller one, Henry leans forward and defends into the off side... should have been a maiden, but Carse has over-stepped

Chin: "Only just noticed Ollie Pope is keeping. Any reason why the regular keeper isn't there?" -- Jamie Smith is on paternity leave, and his deputy Jordan Cox has a bust thumb. Ollie Robinson (not that one) will be in contention for the second Test.
