Josh Tongue to Glenn Phillips, no run, appeal for LBW! Stokes goes for the review. This one nipped in a long way and hit Phillips on the back pad. Clear gap between bat-pad. Wickets missing and Rod Tucker's decision stays. Very good decision. Was on a good length and nips in a long way to sneak past the inside edge of Phillips's defence. Hit him on the back pad and rolls to the keeper. England lose a review
28.4

Josh Tongue to Blundell, out Lbw!! England have their sixth! It's a superb delivery that jagged back in sharply and stayed a touch low, leaving Tom Blundell with no chance. Planted on the back foot trying to defend, he was beaten entirely as the ball sneaked under his bat and struck him low on the back pad. The umpire's finger went up in a flash.

Josh Tongue to Williamson, out Lbw!! Even while reviewing Williamson looked guilty. Possibly his last Test innings at Lord's and it is not something he would fondly look back at. 138ks angling in and nips away late around off stump. Williamson was rooted to the crease and got beaten on the outside-edge, only to be pinged dead in front of middle and off. No doubt whatsoever for umpire Rod Tucker. New Zealand lose a review.
