85.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, that's a beauty from Trent Boult. On middle and back of a length angling it in, Jonny Bairstow looks to defend it but has probably missed it completely. However, the New Zealand players think otherwise and there is a loud appeal for a caught behind but the finger stays down. New Zealand go for a review and UltraEdge shows that the ball had hit his glove. Jonny Bairstow has to walk back and New Zealand get two wickets in quick succession..  344/4

94.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Ben Stokes departs! His quickfire cameo comes to an end. However, this was always going to be a risky option sweeping against the off spin of Michael Bracewell. He got away with it couple of balls back but this time has to pay the price. This is tossed up on off. Stokes goes for a big slog-sweep but ends up getting a huge top edge. The ball goes in the air towards deep mid-wicket and Trent Boult running forward and to his right takes a good catch. The lead for New Zealand is still 148!  405/5

124.3 OUT! RUN OUT! A miscommunication and Matthew Potts has his head in his hands, as New Zealand see the back of Ben Foakes. It is fuller and on off. Potts stays back and tucks it to mid-wicket. Ben Foakes comes a long way down the track looking for a single but was sent back. Henry Nicholls throws it sharply to the bowler who clips the bails to send back a set-batter in Foakes.  527/8

Matthew Potts looks to work it away but ends up missing it completely and watches his leg stump being dismantled. Trent Boult has been outstanding in this test match and gets his 10th five-wicket haul in Test cricket. He has bowled his heart out on this pretty good batting deck and deserves this five-wicket haul.  530/9

128.2 OUT! STUMPED! Tom Blundell with quick hands behind the wickets and England's innings comes to an end. It is tossed up, around middle. James Anderson moves to the leg side as the ball turns down leg, although he is unable to get his shot away. He is out of the crease because of the charge and Tom Blundell makes no mistake behind the sticks.  539/10

0.5 OUT! TIMBER! James Anderson draws the first blood. Just the start England were looking for. This one lands on a length, touch outside off. Tom Latham misjudges the line of the delivery and shoulders his arms, as he thinks this would leave him. Although, this one jags back in to disturb the stumps. 650th Test wicket for James Anderson! What a champion he is!  4/1

42.2 OUT! RUN OUT! A mix up in the middle and New Zealand are in a spot of bother now as they lose Will Young now. It is a length ball, on midde. Young tucks it to mid-wicket. Daryl Mitchell wants a single and he is out of his crease. Will Young is a tad late into his charge, which allows Ollie Pope to set himself up and throw it to Ben Stokes at the non-striker's end, who collects the ball and is quick to take the bails off. Even a desperate dive could not save Young here.  131/4

33.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Ohh...a wicket against the run of play this, Conway was looking so good out there in the middle. However, he has to walk back now and Leach provides a crucial breakthrough. This is fuller on middle. Conway goes for a sweep shot this time after a reverse-sweep in the previous delivery. He, however, gets a top edge and the ball goes in the air towards deep square leg. Jonny Bairstow there moves forward and takes a fine low catch diving forward.  104/2

38 OUT! CAUGHT! Henry Nicholls perishes early and the floodgates are truly opened up now for England to capitalize on. Henry Nicholls provides the easiest of catches to backward point. It is a short and wide delievery outside off, Henry Nicholls could have seen it sail past him but fell into the trap. He goes for an expensive shot and finds Alex Lees who takes a sharp catch. Trent Bridge errupts.  115/3

60.2 OUT! CAUGHT! England have broken this dreaded partnership! Short ball angled towards the shoulder of Tom Blundell. He could have let that one be but instead chooses to pull it. Does not get a good connection and ball goes aerially towards backward square leg where Ben Stokes takes a fine catch. He immediately points his finger towards the dressing room after taking that catch and the England coach Brendon McCullum gives a thumbs up to his skipper. Big wicket for England, Broad provides a crucial breakthrough!  176/5

64.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Michael Bracewell's entertaining cameo has come to an end! He has however brought New Zealand to a position of considerable safety! Not all that full in line with the stumps, Michael Bracewell gets in no position to drive the ball straight. He lofts it and finds Stuart Broad at mid on who takes a comfortable catch. England rejoice out of relief to see the back of Michael Bracewell as he walks out to a standing ovation.  204/6

65.5 OUT! RUN OUT! Tim Southee gets run out for a duck. Another one bites the dust for New Zealand. This does not look good at all. Poor communication by Daryl Mitchell. A length ball, around off. Daryl Mitchell guides it through backward point and runs hard for the first runs. He calls for the second, but as soon as he sees the ball decides against it, although it was a bit too late for Southee to get back. Zak Crawley throws it at the keeper and Ben Foakes completes the business.  213/7

77.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The resilience of Matt Henry is over. Stuart Broad digs it in short again, around middle and off. Henry spots that there is no fielder in the deep on the leg side and decides to take on the short delivery. Attempts to pull but only manages to edge it to Ben Foakes. England have got the breakthrough they were looking for and it has come with the second new ball not too far away. Lead for the Kiwis is 259.  245/8

79.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Broad has another wicket and he has bounced out the tall man. It's short and well-directed at the batter, at 83 mph, Jamieson hangs across on the back foot and attempts to pull. He fails to connect properly though and gets a top edge behind to the keeper. Foakes grabs a brilliant catch despite getting a bit wrong-footed and New Zealand lose their ninth wicket.  249/9

84.4 OUT! CAUGHT! The entertainment is over! Back of a length, around middle, Trent Boult steps back and throws his bat at it. It comes off the toe end and goes straight to Ben Stokes at mid off. The English skipper gleefully accepts the catch and New Zealand are all out for 284.  284/10
