NZ 188/4 in their second innings. Lead by 433. England would require the highest ever run chase to win this test match.

Not sure why NZ are carrying on. The best part of 5 sessions to play but NZ should declare asap.

Fulton passes a ton for the second time this match, brings it up with a 6 over Broad's head.

edit: Impossible to beat Maccy to posting a sporting landmark.

199-5, Fulton goes.

And sorry. You'd have beaten me if there was a live match on the tennis.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Broad bowls one for four. Very helpful.

Never heard a stadium 'announcer' calling out every landmark and reminding everyone of the score and lead at every opportunity. Doubt it'd be the same if the positions were reversed and England were leading by 450.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Probably not but I guess NZ don't have many opportunities to mock the opposition or rather beef up their in-match achievements. Make the most of it whilst they can.

England need a record 481 to win.

Around 140 overs to bat.

Met to louder cheers.
