- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.6 snicked off! Carse strikes, and England have a second. Fullish, angling across, and just enough nip away off the seam to take the outside edge as Latham looks to flick leg-side again. Just a thin outside edge, and Pope snaffles a straightforward chance 62/21.6 mistimed drive, stunning take from Atkinson! Fractionally fuller length, Conway was drawn into the stroke but met it high on the blade, the low chance fizzed back at the bowler in his followthrough, and he adjusted his hands wonderfully well to grab it at knee-height to his left. Huge moment in the second over. 4/160.2 can't get over the cut! Williamson falls in the 90s for the first time in six years, and that's a massive moment in this Test. It's the extra bounce that does for him, there was width to cash in on, but the lift was just too much. Crawley at backward point closed his fingers round the offering. Huge moment 227/531.3 slapped to short midwicket! That's a poor stroke, Ravindra gave Shoaib the charge again, but turned the length ball into a dipping full toss that he was in no position to time or place... a wellied pull plops to Crawley and England have a bonus third 130/352.4 there's the breakthrough! Mitchell winds through a lusty pull, but Carse's heavy length gets the better of him, it's a steepling leading edge, all the way down to deep third, where Brook judges a simple take well. The leg-side was packed, but Stokes didn't neglect the glorified fly slip! 199/465.6 back of a length, punched uppishly to point! That wasn't a wicket ball, but the scorebook will beg otherwise! Blundell was looking solid, but he lost his shape there, trying to cut but settling for a wafty back-foot punch. There was a touch of extra bounce, and New Zealand are six-down and losing their way 246/669.3 nudged to leg slip! Easy as you like for Root, and Smith falls cheaply on debut. This is turning into a very good day for Bashir... on a length, tight line, Smith was on the back foot looking to work it around the corner but could only clip it straight into Root's hands 252/778.5 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 298/8Extras35 (b 4, lb 10, nb 11, w 10)TOTAL319/8 (83 Overs, RR: 3.84)Yet to bat: W O'RourkeFall of wickets: 1-4 (Devon Conway, 1.6 ov), 2-62 (Tom Latham, 13.6 ov), 3-130 (Rachin Ravindra, 31.3 ov), 4-199 (Daryl Mitchell, 52.4 ov), 5-227 (Kane Williamson, 60.2 ov), 6-246 (Tom Blundell, 65.6 ov), 7-252 (Nathan Smith, 69.3 ov), 8-298 (Matt Henry, 78.5 ov)
