223-0 off 56 overs

Sonny Baker must think he won the Pools not having to play in this

Stumps day 1

NZ 361-4

Conway 157
Latham 152

It will end up a draw

NZ will either be out or declare on 450+ by lunch.

England will then be bowled out by close of play and have to follow on…

While I really don’t want either, it’s better to have a mascot dressed as a big bird rather than a bloody pig.

Ladies and gentlemen we have a wicket

England appeal for caught behind, given not out.

England review, ultra edge shows a clear nick

Daryl Mitchell not happy but he’s got to go

Stokes to Mitchell, OUT

line and length, draws the defensive push… Stokes thinks there’s a nick behind! Not given on field but he reviews after a quick discussion with his team-mates. Smith went up for it straight away too. Can only be a scratch - but it’s there on UltraEdge! Stokes lets out a guttural roar as the big screen confirms it, and Nitin Menon has to overturn his not-out decision. England’s captain the catalyst again!

New Zealand 392-5

To be fair Mitchell thought he had nicked his pad with his bat, the bat was close to the ball and pad when ultraedge showed a spike.

However Stuart Broad on comms said the stump mike sounded like ball on bat!!
