It is still raining and the umpires after having a word with the head of the groundsmen have decided, the conditions won't be suitable in time for us to have any more cricket this evening, hence stumps are called early.
A positive day for England as they dent New Zealand further in the 4th innings removing Rachin Ravindra (8 off 21) and Daryl Mitchell for a 3-ball duck. Ollie Robinson picked up both the wickets after he changed ends. Gus Atkinson had picked up a couple of wickets on day 2 - Tom Latham (0) and William O'Rourke (0), Josh Tongue had got rid of the experienced Kane Williamson for 18.
Devon Conway opening the innings is still unbeaten, facing 55 deliveries for 19 runs, 2 boundaries in his knock so far. Tom Blundell who hit a career-best ton against Ireland last week is unbeaten with Conway with 2 to his name.
Earlier in the Test match, England were invited to bat first and scored 140. Kyle Jamieson picked up 5/62 and Harry Brook top scored with 56. It was Jamieson who top scored for New Zealand with the bat with an aggressive, unbeaten 38 in 29 balls with 2 fours and 3 sixes as the Kiwis were bundled out for 113.
It was Nathan Smith's chance to shine with the ball in the 3rd innings as he picked up 6/70 to skittle England for 226. Emilio Gay on debut scoring 57 in 95 balls and added 52 runs for the first wicket with Ben Duckett. New Zealand were set a total of 254 to win the Test and need 199 more runs to win at the close of day 3 with the score 55/4!
