Highest ever seventh-wicket stand for England now.
This is mental - the scoring rate is 5.44 per over for this innings. And now the 200-run partnershipās come up.

202 in 209 balls, amazing
Oooh!
Stumps 264-6, a 209 run, 8th wicket partnership saving England, maybeā¦
That was amazing but I do wonder if we were skittled would we be saying that? That said it was superb and brilliant to watch.

Potts to Williamson, OUT
Potts bags Williamson again! Outstanding bowling change, the perfect man for the moment, in the channel outside off, hitting the pitch hard, nibbling away, luring a fateful flirt outside the eyeline and Bairstow grabs the edge! Pottsā relentless areas persuaded NZās skipper to go where he didnāt want to, and now this innings is cranked open!
Hold on why has Bairstow got the gloves on, is Foakes injutred?
Foakes has a bad back

Mitchell has scored 482 runs so far in this series, which apparently is the most by a NZer in a series v England.
Nicholls c&b Leach for 7
Apparently he has the 3rd worst average against left arm spin in the 3rd innings.
Oh oh, Blundell and Mitchell together again.
