We are back! The Kiwi openers, Will Young and Tom Latham make their way out to the middle. James Anderson will start with the new ball. Here we go...
Have to say, New Zealand have a slight advantage at the moment! England are going to bat last and if New Zealand can bat well, they will have the hosts under massive pressure. On the other hand, the hosts will hope their bowlers can do something similar to what they did in the first innings. Will the bowlers continue to dominate or will the batters have their say this time? Stick around to find out.
England, on the other hand, will be very disappointed. Their top three played decently to get them into a good position but the middle order and the lower order showed no fight. 8 of their batters did not pass the 10-run mark and that saw England take only a slender lead.
End of an excellent bowling performance from the Kiwis and courtesy of their bowlers, from being down and out in the game, the visitors are right back into this one. Who would have thought at 92-2 England would not end up with a big lead! Well from there on, it all went downhill for them. They have lost 8 wickets for just 49 runs and all the credit goes to Southee and Boult. Especially the former who was the pick and he got able support from the others.
OUT! CAUGHT AT SLIPS! Trent Boult angles across a length ball, around off and leaving the batter, Matt Parkinson has a firm push inside the line but only to edge it towards first slip. Another safe catch is taken by Daryl Mitchell. England are all out for 141, gaining a lead of 9 runs.
Full and around off, angling in, Anderson clips it behind square leg for a single.
Steep bounce this time, around off, Anderson fends it off awkwardly to point.
Walks forward with the pull shot but again drags it off the inner edge to mid-wicket.
On a length and around off, Anderson is on the back foot as he blocks.
Fuller again, around middle and leg, this time Matt plays a mistimed on-drive but gets two. Lead is 8.
FOUR! Fine shot! Too full and around middle, Matt Parkinson shows the full face of the bat and caresses it down to long on for a boundary.
Around off, angling in on a fuller length, Matt drives it down to mid off.
Beaten! That's a beauty from wide of the crease. Outswinger, close to off, Matt Parkinson plays the line and is beaten by the away movement.
First Test runs for Matt Parkinson and he takes England into the lead. Southee gets a length ball to angle in around middle, Matt eases it in front of square leg for two.
Bouncer and around off, Matt Parkinson ducks underneath it.
SCORES LEVEL! Fullish and around off, Anderson drives it down the ground through mid off and collects a couple of runs.
Shout for an lbw! Not given. Williamson is not interested in reviewing it. A toe-crusher from Boult, around leg at 86 mph, Anderson fails to dig it out. The appeal is not entertained as it's heading down the leg side.
Fullish and around off, Anderson stays back to defend but gets beaten as the ball curves away after landing.
Ho! Ho! Ho! Anderson tries to switch into the hitting mode. Steps back, makes room and attempts for a big heave across the line. Only manages to drag it off the inner half to mid on.
Delivers it on a length and outside off, Jimmy again pushes at it and misses.
