Ollie Robinson to Rachin Ravindra, OUT! LBW! Would you believe it? Ollie Robinson has another, but hang on, Rachin Ravindra is sending this upstairs. The line looked fine, but is it going over? From around the wicket to the left-hander, on a good length, on middle. Ravindra hangs back to deal with it. The ball decks back in to beat Rachin on the inside edge and catches him on the flap of the back pad. Daylight between the bat and the pad and it is once again, umpire's call on Ball Tracking with the ball clipping the top of the leg stump. The on-field decision is upheld and Robinson's joy knows no bounds. Two in two for Ollie, three wickets in the over. He will be on a hat-trick at the start of his next over. Just the kind of lift England needed. A golden duck for Rachin. New Zealand are 2/3, trailing by 138 runs.

Ollie Robinson to Kane Williamson, OUT! TAKEN! Ollie Robinson gets the prized scalp of Kane Williamson. Two wickets in his first 5 balls on return for Robinson and England have an ideal start. Ollie Robinson keeps the stumps in play and hurls it on a length. Williamson pushes out in front of his body with hard hands. The ball nips back to catch the inside edge before thudding onto the front pad. It pops up tantalisingly for Emilio Gay at short leg. Robinson moves forward and slides at the edge of the strip to snaffle it.

Ollie Robinson to Devon Conway, OUT! LBW! A confident shout and the finger is raised. Ollie Robinson is pumped up as he strikes on his return to the Test side. Jagging back down the slope, on middle and leg, on a length. Conway walks across to flick it away on the leg side. His head falls over and he is beaten on the inside edge to get rapped on the front pad. Devon takes the review. No bat involved and it is umpire's call on Ball Tracking with the ball clipping the leg stump. The on-field decision is upheld. New Zealand are 2/1, trailing by 138 runs.
