    A great innings. Tom Latham was the more organised batter throughout the day. Nice and compact. He's played some lovely drives, pulls and cuts. Some reverse sweeps towards the end. He's set the game up for his side. Will New Zealand carry on like this or will England find a breakthrough?

    WE HAVE A WICKET!

    A tired-looking shot from Tom Latham who waggles his bat at one from Ben Stokes outside off stump.

    The Kiwi skipper feathers an edge and Jamie Smith gobbles up the catch.

    Latham gets a standing ovation from the Trent Bridge crowd.

  4. NZ 316-0

    To answer Norman's question. It has happened in Test cricket but only for tactical reasons.

    Jacob Bethell rattles off an over with a couple of singles milked off it.

  5. 150 runs

    Latham reaches 150

    Ben Stokes, sweat bands on both arms, runs in but he cannot get anything off this surface.

    Tom Latham raises his bat after dabbing a single off the England captain to reach 150.

    Has a team ever declared after the first innings without losing a wicket?

  7. Thanks, Mike.

    Whisper it quietly...but could Brian Lara's 400 be under threat here?

    Tomorrow is set to be another scorcher, England's attack is tiring, and this pitch is as flat as a pancake.

  8. NZ 311-0

    Jacob Bethell continues, with England bowling part-time spinners at both ends.

    Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer are yet to bowl in this session - we're still 10 overs from the new ball.

    A couple of singles to start the over, then a reverse padel sweep for two from Devon Conway.

    Here's Timothy Abraham to take you through the rest of today.

  9. 150 runs

    150 for Devon Conway

    NZ 307-0

    Having been second to the half and full centuries, Devon Conway beats Tom Latham to 150.

    Joe Root comes on as England's seventh bowler and Conway knocks his first ball down to long-on to reach the landmark.

    Latham doesn't score off the remainder of the over.

    Absolutely pathetic from England, might as well all go for a pint tonight. Our attack is one dimensional and just nowhere near good enough. Honestly never been so deflated watching this shower

    Ed, Burnley

  11. NZ 306-0

    10 runs from the over as Jacob Bethell replaces Gus Atkinson.

    A Devon Conway single into the covers brings up New Zealand's 300 before Tom Latham reverse sweeps the final ball of the over through third for four.

  12. How's stat?!

    The highest first-wicket partnership against England in Test history was the 338 made by South Africa openers Graeme Smith and Herschelle Gibbs in July 2003 at Edgbaston.

    It is falling apart for England really.

  14. NZ 296-0

    Four runs off Shoaib Bashir's 22nd over - it may not be going his way in this session, but he's done a big shift having been introduced early in the innings.

  15. NZ 292-0

    Got to be honest, David, I have no idea what cheese pie and cake means, but I get your jist.

    Back at it after drinks - Tom Latham drives Gus Atkinson through the covers for four.

    Losing the toss was a big mistake, since then it's just cheese pie and cake.

    As soon as you lose the toss on a day like this, you know you’re in trouble

    Tom Latham and Devon Conway have just broken an almost 100-year-old record - this is now the highest opening partnership for New Zealand against England in Tests.

    There are only two first-wicket higher partnerships made by a Kiwi opening pair against any opposition.

    Highest opening stands by New Zealand:

    • 387 - Jarvis & Turner vs West Indies, 1972
    • 323 - Conway & Latham vs West Indies, 2025
    • 288* - Conway & Latham vs England, 2026 (today)
    • 276 - Dempster & Mills vs England, 1930

  18. NZ 288-0

    That's the only scoring shot of the over as we reach the drinks break.

    New Zealand have added 75 runs from 11 overs since tea.

    25 of them are Tom Latham's, 50 are Devon Conway's.

    Shoaib Bashir had 0-54 off 16 overs in the first two sessions, he's now 0-93 off 21.

  19. 6 runs

    NZ 288-0

    Devon Conway really enjoyed his tea!

    The opener has really taken it up a notch since the interval, and he adds his third six since the break by lumping Shoaib Bashir over long-on.

  20. NZ 282-0

    Pulled for four!

    Two balls later and Tom Latham gets Gus Atkinson away, making this New Zealand's highest partnership when facing England.
