84th over: New Zealand 340-7 (Jamieson 21, Phillips 76) Baker continues but Phillips is enjoying himself now, punching through the offside, clipping through leg, collecting consecutive boundaries.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n 83rd over: New Zealand 332-7 (Jamieson 21, Phillips 68) Tongue cuts Jamieson in half, jagging the ball into the right-hander. Finally, a fairly quiet over.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 82nd over: New Zealand 329-7 (Jamieson 21, Phillips 65) Baker continues, surprising the animated Phillips with one that keeps low. He goes short to Jamieson, though, and the hulking New Zealand quick needs to get checked out buy the doc again after another blow to the helmet. Hope he\u2019s OK. After a break in play, Jamieson ends the over with a beautiful punch through the covers for four. England are leaking plenty here.<\/p>\n John Starbuck writes in:<\/p>\n double quotation markAnother drop! This time by Duckett, who\u2019s usually a pretty reliable fielder. I suspect some of the drops at Lord\u2019s, such as those by Rachin Ravindra, may be down to too-powerful sun glasses. Is Ducket sporting them today?<\/p>\n Duckett\u2019s shades were, curiously, resting on his cap.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a006.32 EDT<\/p>\n 81st over: New Zealand 324-7 (Jamieson 17, Phillips 64) The new ball is taken \u2013 time for England to get out of bouncer mode. Tongue will continue as Phillips welcomes the fresh cherry, clipping through midwicket for the shot of the morning with a lovely little flourish of the blade. Tongue responds by nipping it away from the outside edge.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 80th over: New Zealand 318-7 (Jamieson 16, Phillips 59) Jamieson slaps Baker through the off-side, then makes room for a mighty smack \u2026 he edges away over Rew for four more. The big man is here to have fun as he launches to deep midwicket \u2026 and Ben Duckett, backpedalling, drops it! That should have been snaffled; Baker was already celebrating. To make matters worse for the debutant, Phillips pulls away for another boundary, the third of the over. A very tidy start to the day for New Zealand.<\/p>\n Got it Photograph: Jay Patel\/SPP\/ShutterstockNo I don\u2019t\u2026 Photograph: Andrew Couldridge\/Action Images\/ReutersOops Photograph: Keeran Marquis\/SPP\/ShutterstockShare<\/a><\/p>\n Updated at\u00a006.23 EDT<\/p>\n 79th over: New Zealand 305-7 (Jamieson 7, Phillips 55) It\u2019s Josh Tongue to bound in from the Pavilion End \u2013 he goes short and Phillips offers no shot, the ball smashing into his belly button. Ouch. England are going full bumper mode, with three men on the leg-side boundary, and midwicket just a few yards in front of the rope. And is Jamieson gone, gloving the ball high, with Rew collecting? Nah, off the helmet. And a no ball, too. Jamieson will get checked out by the doc.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Half-century for Glenn Phillips!<\/p>\n 78th over: New Zealand 300-7 (Jamieson 6, Phillips 54) The sun has poked through at the Oval \u2026 as Baker goes short, the ball loose and swinging away to the ropes for byes. Short again with the next delivery \u2013 and Phillips gets something on it, top-edging as the ball flies over James Rew, evading the fingertips. And that\u2019ll be his fifty too. Baker, in the high-80s, continues to angle the ball into Phillips, who gets a single to keep the strike.<\/p>\n Glenn Phillips of New Zealand hits a four for his 50 during Day 2.

Let\u2019s play!<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cNew Zealand, if they don\u2019t make it to 400, will be very, very disappointed on this deck,\u201d says Mark Butcher on Sky. It\u2019s up to Phillips to get them there, unbeaten on 49 and the leading run-scorer in the series after a couple of decent knocks at Lord\u2019s.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Mark Wood is on Sky\u2019s broadcast, rocking some lime sunglasses.

Or a Root who \u2013 as Stokes\u2019s stand-in \u2013 felt obliged to attempt an impersonation?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Andy Bull kept a close eye on the unreadable Brendon McCullum yesterday.<\/p>\n double quotation markIt\u2019s increasingly hard to say what\u2019s going on behind those shades. The man\u2019s the Anna Wintour of the wicket.<\/p>\n
