Have your say on England men this summer

  1. Eng 250-9published at 71 overs

    Matthew Fisher takes a single off the first ball from Matt Henry, allowing Sonny Baker to take the strike.

    The number 11 faces five dot balls without scoring.

  2. Eng 249-9published at 70 overs

    I've been there, Jamie.

    Tourists are offered the opportunity to try and slip down the extremely narrow tunnel openings.

    England find themselves in a substantially bigger hole here - they still trail by 142, as Matthew Fisher takes two off the first ball from Kyle Jamieson and then adds a single off his last.

    Listening on the way back to Ho Chi Minh City after a visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels which were used by the Viet Cong during the war. A fascinating and sobering experience.

    Biggest cheer of the day here as Ben Stokes comes into the attack FOR DURHAM.

    And a dropped catch off his fourth ball! That would have been a story.

    That's an outstanding effort, Devon Conway retrieving the ball and doing it all on his own.

    It's not a bad option for Matt Fisher. That's the way to get rid of the keeper!

    It came to Tom Blundell on the half volley. If he had got the ball in his gloves, Fisher would have been out.

    Well, that's the danger of standing up.

    Matthew Fisher scoots round to scoop Matt Henry over his shoulder and manages to flick the ball into a delicate area for wicketkeeper Tom Blundell - does that count as a drop?

    The England number nine sends the next ball out to backward point and hares back for a two, diving for his crease.

    The throw from Devon Conway is a touch wide and may not have even taken Fisher's wicket with a direct hit, but had it gone to the non-striker's end then New Zealand might have been in business, as Sonny Baker hesitated before taking the second.

    Fisher subsequently takes a three out to point, with Conway again scrambling to stop a four.

    Re: 66 overs. We have our Matt Henry playing. He bowls like a badminton player.

    Matthew Fisher turns Kyle Jamieson behind square for two, then takes a single to bring debutant Sonny Baker on strike.

    The new batter doesn't score off his first four balls in Test cricket.

    Nathan Smith's taken a good grab there. The tactic from yesterday afternoon to bring Tom Blundell up to the stumps has got Matthew Henry his 5-fer. England are in a pickle here.

    Everything is going New Zealand's way.

    Matt Henry has his five-fer, and it's thanks to another excellent bit of fielding from Nathan Smith.

    Josh Tongue toe-ends a loopy shot towards mid-on, where Smith scrambles backwards.

    He puts two hands up to take the ball, spills it, but while falling backwards completes a one-handed grab.

    Top stuff.

    It's a very dry day today. Over the course of the next few days this pitch will bake and bake.

    The problem here is you can't see where the boundaries are going to come from. England need to get that scoreboard ticking.

    We have been utterly appalling in the past 24 hours. Inexperience showing. Kiwis going to grind us into the dust here.

    Eng started yesterday with a spread field and bouncers. New Zealand have close fielders and bowl at the stumps. Amazing which one works!

    Paul, Redditch

    Its so hard to know where England go with this team? Is Ben Duckett good enough? Jacob Bethell can't buy a score in 1st innings, Jamie Smith, not convinced at all, bowling lacks that consistency and drive/passion from the old guard. I just want England to do well!

    Steph is absolutely correct, of course, and he's too modest to say that he too stands up to the online seam attack when he plays in the annual BBC Sport cricket match.

    Not sure we've got anyone who's bowling quite at Matt Henry's pace, mind.

    Meanwhile that's a second consecutive maiden for Kyle Jamieson, bowling to Josh Tongue this time.

    The trend for keepers to stand up to the fast-medium bowlers has added a new dimension to Test cricket. Alex Carey was mesmerising during the Ashes, and Tom Blundell has been superb in this game. That's as good a keeping catch as you will see.

    Josh Tongue, then.

    He takes a single straight away, turning Matt Henry down to fine leg.

    It was a different sort of delivery from Matthew Henry, he's been targeting the stumps up until now. That's a good catch, that really is a good catch from Tom Blundell. He's got a huge smile on his face, keepers love that when they can pull that off

    Well, that's a great grab.

    Tom Blundell shows sharp reactions while standing up to Matt Henry, gobbling up Jofra Archer's edge as the England bowler tried to drive through point.

    The wicketkeeper is absolutely delighted with that and rightly so, while Archer is dismayed.

    New Zealand are just two wickets from wrapping this innings up, while England are 14-2 this morning.

    I am afraid Jordan Cox is much, much better than that shot! Not an ideal start to the day…
