88th over: New Zealand 372-4 (Mitchell 8, O\u2019Rourke 2) Tongue gets a look at O\u2019Rourke \u2026 who digs out a yorker for a couple. Tidily played by a man with a Test-best of five not out. There\u2019s a mix-up between the two batters that nearly ends O\u2019Rourke\u2019s stay before Tongue sends one whizzing past the outside edge.<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n 87th over: New Zealand 370-4 (Mitchell 8, O\u2019Rourke 0) Archer\u2019s looking sharp, starting the over with an 87mph inswinger. Though he follows that up with a loose, wide one. The England quick sends down a couple of bumpers and has his first maiden of the innings.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 86th over: New Zealand 370-4 (Mitchell 8, O\u2019Rourke 0) It\u2019s Josh Tongue to have a go from the other end \u2026 and he immediately looks the part. Mitchell decides late to leave the ball \u2013 an inside-edge travels for four. There\u2019s a leg slip in position, with Tongue \u2013 like Archer \u2013 tailing the ball into the right-hander.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 85th over: New Zealand 363-4 (Mitchell 1, O\u2019Rourke 0) Daryl Mitchell is on strike, with Will O\u2019Rourke \u2013 the nightwatcher \u2013 at the other end. Archer gets some decent shape into the right-hander before Mitchell squeezes the ball into the offside for a single. Archer has three balls against O\u2019Rourke after bowling a no-ball \u2026 but the New Zealand quick survives.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n OK, let\u2019s play. It\u2019ll be Archer to continue the over he began last night with a wicket.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n If you\u2019re at Trent Bridge today please drop me a line \u2013 would be good to hear how those in the crowd are managing with the heat.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Our very own Will Unwin has told me to check out Lancashire\u2019s squad for their Blast game against Leicestershire tonight: Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, Liam Livingstone, Luke Wood and Jimmy Anderson in the mix.
