Shoaib Bashir, who will have sore shoulder by stumps today you would imagine, continues after drinks.

With his fourth delivery he offers a bit too much width to Devon Conway who shows deft footwork to late cut it for four.

England continue to toil in the heat.

Highest opening partnerships against England in the Bazball era

• 225 - Pakistan, December 2022 (Abdullah Shafique & Imam-ul-Haq)
• 164* - New Zealand, this match (Devon Conway & Tom Latham)
• 149 - New Zealand, February 2023 (Devon Conway & Tom Latham)

Halfway point of the afternoon session and New Zealand are well on top.

Uh oh.

Devon Conway would have been out if England had reviewed that delivery from Shoaib Bashir.

Ball tracking showed three reds and it hit the pad before the bat.

An opportunity missed.

Meanwhile, Jofra Archer is threaded through deep third by Tom Latham for four.

Shoaib Bashir, collar turned up, finds a bit of drifts with his off spin..

A crowd catch into the hands of Joe Root at short cover with his fourth delivery before tickling the pad of Devon Conway with his penultimate ball but there's no suggestion of a review.

Re sweetgate (13:08). Right on the money, Graham in Somerset.

Another yorker with surprise factor from Jofra Archer which Tom Latham does very well to dig out. That was honing in on the stumps.

Archer can only chuckle to himself at his luck, or lack of it.

Later in the over, Latham gets another yorker from Archer but this time he is ready and opens the face to guide it for four through the vacant third.

In the haze of the Trent Bridge sunshine this pitch almost has a subcontinental tinge to it as Ben Stokes turns to Shoaib Bashir.

The Derbyshire spinner spins one past Tom Latham, Jamie Smith and away for four byes.

Are England officially in toiling territory yet?

Just a single off Jofra Archer's over but the England quick is thankful to wicketkeeper Jamie Smith who dives full length to the leg side to prevent what would have certainly been four byes.

Devon Conway and Tom Latham both unbeaten on 70.

Brendon McCullum is clutching his walkie talkie, like Elliott from ET, on the England balcony.

Michael in Andover re sweetgate (13:08), you've got some of the right names but in the wrong order.

That his been Devon Conway's favourite shot today, the drive and punch.

England's best hope to Conway might be a strangle down the leg side. Which is probably the definition of a good pitch.

A pleasing square drive from Devon Conway fizzes along the lengthy square at Trent Bridge for four.

Gus Atkinson tuts to himself and walks back to his mark.

A couple of balls later and Atkinson angles one down leg side which Conway swishes at but misses.

Joe Root's England cap is already quite sun faded and sweat stained. The mesh lining will have perished by the end of this Test.

Jofra Archer beats the edge of Devon Conway's bat with a delivery which found a bit of movement.

About as close as England have come in the 40 minutes after lunch.

Time for Jofra Archer to inject a bit of pace and aggression into England's attack as Trent Bridge continues to sizzle.

Couple of dots to start.

Two runs off Gus Atkinson's latest over. No boundaries for three overs.

Can England's attack draw a loose shot from Tom Latham and Devon Conway?

"Sweetgate is more entertaining than the actual Test," says Steven in Saltire having proposed three possible suspects (see 13:08).
