Unplayable delivery, the perfect left arm around ball. :wasim :amir
 
Huge edge, terrible decision. Was obvious to everyone. Reviewed. Should be not out.
 
Prior seems to play his shots. He will give few chances.
 
Southee bowling beautifully, beats Prior again. NZ need another pacer on, ball is moving a bit.

True but they need to take these half chances to win, they've already dropped two

Yep. That dropped catch against Bell might just cost them the game. Bairstow was always going to get out so that drop was no biggie.
 
Another wicket this session and it's the tail in the last session
 
Martin isn't troubling them even though he had some assistance yesterday. Not sure he'll be on for long.
 
Prior bowled or hit wicket?

In fact it doesn't dislodge the bails. :)))
 
How unlucky can you get. Great bouncer hits head onto stumps but no drop of the timber.

Is it not NZ's day?
 
England have been extremely lucky all day. That's another.
 
Broad to come yet, if these two can survive the rest of this session then England could well sneak the draw here.
 
207/6. Bell blocks out another.

Wagner to Prior again.
 
Certainly England's day, so many dropped chances and lucky escapes
 
Kane has looked more dangerous in this single over than Martin in this whole match.
 
Took Boult off when he was going well and now brings Martin back. If we draw this I give up on NZ cricket. I could handle being bowled out for 45 but this? no.
 
Not threatening at all. Martin should be taken off as long as these two are still out there.
 
Fielding has been top game apart from those 2 dropped catches.

The Bell dropped catch looks like its going to hurt pretty damn bad.
 
Chances have been coming all session, pacers have done well but Martin is a weak link. 107 overs bowlers are a little tired. :nehra
 
Bell doing an excellent job must be one of his best surely. The guy usually doesn't show up when push comes to shove. Prior doing his thing as per normal. Around 30-40 overs to go now. Can Eng pull off a miracle?
 
What a beaut, in to the tail now and Prior will give chances, NZ have bought some time again.
 
Cook and Finn should be given a proper thrashing for throwing it away to Kane Williamson today. Those two wickets might have made the difference. Now it's two tailenders and Monty to follow.
 
That's the game. Great effort from Ian though, tough on him
 
Bell goes after a fighting knock. That's it game over for Eng surely.
 
Massive wicket, NZ should look to finish this just after tea.
3 good balls and this game is over.
 
32.3 overs to play, that's too many for England to survive. One more time here, we will miss Swann.
 
I think Kane can snuck out the tail and finish with a 5-fer

Prior is in no mood to just play for survival. If he gets out then it's very hard for Eng.
 
Not to be too hard on Bell, but people seem to be over hyping his innings a bit. Could have been out quite a few times - scoring was always easy if you stayed in due to having almost every fielder in catching positions. Prior's knock is better imo.
 
Boundaries won't hurt NZ.
They need to keep on bowling short to Prior.
 
..but he scored more than I thought so credit is due there.

Broad survives.
 
Boult and Southee from both ends, need that wicket now. Panesar at 11 is a genuine tailender.
 
England can definitely draw this now. NZ need a wicket quickly, there is some movement there for them.
