8.5 to LJ Wright, top catch...that was only a matter of time, short ball and Wright latches onto a pull but hits it straight at short midwicket where Ross Taylor holds onto a stinging catch...Wright will actually feel that's the best he's hit one today, but it was within Taylor's range and he pulled off a blinder. 41/1
44.1 to GP Swann, gone, another lazy shot from an England batsman as Swann picks out the squarer of two backward point fielders...a limp effort from Swann when Shah needed some support. 219/7
9.425826.00377122
9.3 to KP Pietersen, gone! huge wicket for New Zealand, Pietersen falls for a duck as he goes for a pull but the ball wasn't as short as he thought and was wider outside off stump. he gets a big top edge which goes miles into the sky, Tim Southee steadies himself at mid-on and takes a good catch. New Zealand on top.. 44/2
37.2 to RS Bopara, gone, and what a disappointing way to go after playing so well as Bopara chips a catch to mid-on. Looks as though it was a slower ball and he played too early, credit to the bowler there. End of a nice innings from Bopara at a crucial time. 176/5
1014734.70396110
17.5 to IR Bell, well well, he was looking so good, but Bell has gone! Good ball from Southee, genuine outswing and extra bounce as well. Bell was looking to run it through the slips but got the thinnest of nicks through to the keeper. 81/3
21.6 to PD Collingwood, that's a massive breakthrough, and very well bowled. Just a hint of movement off the seam, and Collingwood's limp steer through the slips turns into a massive inside-edge onto middle stump. 101/4
46.6 to SCJ Broad, gone this time, Broad is the latest to somewhat give his wicket away as he slices his drive to backward point...How makes no mistake this time and England fall away further.. 228/9
1004614.60324000
41.4 to TR Ambrose, gone, big wicket and another failure for Ambrose as he picks out deep square-leg with a pull that he never tried to keep down, but didn't hit it hard enough for a six, either. 203/6

2.2 to BB McCullum, wide, a swish, and that's massive. McCullum needn't have chased that, it was almost outside the tramlines, but chase it he did, and Swann at slip held a comfortable and crucial edge. That's a huge blow for New Zealand's hopes. 7/1
6.6 to LRPL Taylor, oh dear. A super catch from Broad but a wretched shot from Taylor, trying to whack Sidebottom into the deep midwicket stand but he's beaten by pace and can only sky it. Broad, at mid-on, steadies himself to take a comfortable catch. 24/2
1003913.90384020
34.6 to JDP Oram, gone! what a moment, superb catch at deep square-leg as Oram top-edges a pull and Anderson strikes with his last ball. Alastair Cook, on as sub, took an excellent low, running in and Anderson was pumped. 173/5

1014924.90313010
19.6 to JM How, excellent bowling, and that's a vital breakthrough for England. How strides forward, and succeeds only in chipping the ball straight back to Swann, who flings it away with glee. 83/3
25.6 to DR Flynn, gone! another big wicket for Swann as Flynn tries to sweep against the spin and gets a top edge, Ian Bell takes a simple catch at midwicket. The pressure told from a good spell by Swann, the match swings again. 106/4
704015.71203110
38.4 to DL Vettori, slower ball offcutter, and it does the trick! Beautifully bowled but an even better catch by Bopara, leaping at short midwicket to intercept a lofted on-drive. Suddenly, England are back in the hunt. 189/7
