Atkinson to Matt Henry, no run, back of a length around off, Henry is rooted to the crease looking to defend and gets a thick inside edge on it

Atkinson to William ORourke, out Caught by Harry Brook!! A short leg and silly point were brought in for O'Rourke prior to this delivery. The threat of the short ball was waved in front of him, but it's the bluff as Atkinson goes very full. He's done the trick for England. It's around off stump, O'Rourke's front leg goes nowhere and he edges it to the slip cordon. Nicely taken by Brook. William ORourke c Harry Brook b Atkinson 1(17)

Atkinson to Blundell, no run, a lot of nerves out there! Skiddy short of length delivery on middle and off, Blundell blocks it besides the pitch on the off-side and takes off for a non-existent run. He has been rightly sent back by his partner. Atkinson runs in front on his followthrough and flicks the ball onto the stumps but by the bails came off, Blundell had plonked his bat inside the crease

Atkinson to Blundell, no run, 146kph short of length delivery around off, Blundell hangs back and taps it towards gully

Atkinson to Tom Latham, out Lbw!! Tom Latham has been trapped in front but he takes the review straightaway. Has he got an inside edge? Was a good length delivery that seamed in sharply from outside off. Latham was caught in the crease as he tried to keep it out but played down the wrong line to get beaten on the inside edge and got pinged on the front pad. UltraEdge shows a flat line. Over to ball-tracking and it returns three reds - it would have crashed into middle and leg. That wasn't a wise review from the New Zealand skipper. The visitors are all at sea at the moment.
