40th over: England 100-1 (Burns 43, Denly 31) Southee keeps Denly quiet until he strays onto the pads and concedes a couple, which brings up England‘s hundred. The score is a lot healthier than 58 all out, and yet New Zealand have never lost control.

39th over: England 98-1 (Burns 43, Denly 29) Now it’s Denly’s turn to edge, pushing a touch tentatively at Wagner, but the ball falls short of Taylor. Next ball, Denly plays and misses. Wagner has stamina as well as steep bounce: he has now bowled 12 successive overs from the same end, spanning lunch.
