William ORourke to Jacob Bethell, out Lbw!! New Zealand review for a lbw! Mitchell also caught it at slip but I don't think there was an inside edge. There were two sounds actually.

Time for the replays. UltraEdge shows a clear gap between bat and ball. Over to ball-tracking and it reveals three reds - it would have crashed into the middle of middle. The two sounds were of the ball hitting both the pads.The spell of rain seems to have quickened up the surface and the NZ seamers are breathing fire at the moment.
