0.2 Magic, absolute magic! This one pitches outside off and swings back in, viciously, to jag right into the top of off-stump. Latham caught shouldering arms and he has to walk back. Only that four next to his name today 4/1

6.1 How has McCarthy caught this! He's at midwicket, and he just leaps to his right, full stretch, and snares this with both hands. Blinder. Was a poor ball, full and on the pads. Conway, head hung in disbelief, has to walk back early 21/2

21.5 big lbw shout, and the finger goes up! Maiden Test wicket for McCarthy, and what a scalp it is! Full and slanting into middle and off. Nips in a little and Williamson, falling across, plays all around it. Gets pinned on the pad and umpire Rod Tucker sends the former Kiwi skipper on his way. Massive, massive wicket for the hosts! 85/3

77.1 And Rachin has sold his wicket down the river here! Was on a length, a little too outside off and absolutely there to be hit. He swats this right to deep midwicket, diving in to collect a superb scatch. Might have skidded on the pitch just a little more than expected, ball closer to the bottom of Rachin's bat than his middle. He walks back after a superb century. 303/5

22.1 nicked and gone! Mitchell back in the shed too, and Ireland in control now! Fullish in the sixth stump channel and this leaves the batter late. Mitchell, taking a step down, goes feeling for it and feathers it through to the keeper. Ireland upbeat; NZ, in a spot of bother now! 86/4

113.5 taken this time, and there will be no double hundred for Blundell! Zipped in on a length on middle and off. Blundell advances, trying to heave it over long on. Drags it a little, though, and Humphreys, stood at deep mid wicket, judges the high ball to perfection. Top knock but Blundell will have to wait for his maiden double ton in Test cricket! 461/6

118.6 top-edged, and caught at short fine leg! Foxcroft falls two short of a hundred on Test debut, and NZ declare their innings too! Given a tinge of air on a fullish length on off. Foxcroft looks for the sweep again but cannot get on top of the bounce. Skews off the top-edge and short fine leg takes a smart catch while back-pedaling. NZ happy to declare at 491-8, but it is heartbreak for Foxcroft on debut, who falls just two short of a brilliant hundred! 490/8

117.6 lbw shout, not given! Slowed up on a length outside off. Foxcroft advances and swings at it wildly. Misses it and the ball pings into his front pad. Might have been spinning too much. Gets called through for the single too and the run-out might need checking. Ooh, this could be close. Run-out appeal at the batter's end, with Smith the batter in question. The bails are dislodged and Smith is short at that moment, but the third umpire has to decide if the ball hit the stumps or if Tucker's gloves disturbed the furniture. Third umpire takes a look and reckons it is the ball that has made contact. Smith has been run out, and Foxcroft remains on 94! 486/7

0.2 thumped on the pad, and Doheny is on his way! Fullish on middle and off, and this seems to shape away late. Doheny is opened up like a deck chair and plays down the wrong line. Rapped on the back pad, and Rod Tucker raises his finger after a bit of contemplation. Smith with an early wicket to rock Ireland! 0/1

6.6 through the gates! Nagging Test-match length on a fourth stump line. Balbirnie gets forward to defend but leaves a wee gap between bat and pad. Enough for the ball to sneak through and clip top of off stump! 26/3

0.6 edged and gone! Two in the over, and Ireland have slipped to 0-2 in the first over! Length ball in that probing corridor just outside off. Bowled from wide of the crease too, which means the batter is forced to play at it. Does so without much conviction and the ball floats off the outside edge, with Latham gobbling it up at second slip. Ireland in all sorts early! 0/2

9.5 the procession continues! Foulkes does go full. A ball that originated way outside off but the inswing brings it onto the stumps' line and leaves Tector missing a defensive shot. Hit him right in front of middle and the umpire raises his finger. Was that sliding down leg with that kind of wild swing? Guess we'll never know... 38/6

8.1 given! Campher must go for a first-ball duck! Full ball originating outside off but darting inwards. Campher pressed forward to defend, but it hit him on the front leg. Umpire was quick to raise his finger. Campher must walk. 34/4

8.5 fullish ball angling down legthat's a fifth wicket for Smith! How quickly he has claimed a five-for! A maiden five-wicket haul for the speedster! Fullish ball originating outside off and enticing Tucker to get forward for a checked drive. Like the Balbirnie dismissal, the delivery moves in, goes through the small gap available, and leaves the stumps shattered again 34/5

38.4 the short ball breaks the stand! And Smith adds a sixth wicket to his name. Short ball angling into leg and Adair is also backing away. He gets his bat near his face and tries to swat it uncomfortably away. But it takes the shoulder of the bat, and pops up for Blundell to grab from behind 154/7

41.2 oh the plan has worked! Tickner tempts Mayes into a leg-side pull with a short ball outside leg stump. Hit well, but straight to Sears at deep square leg who has to take a forward dive to complete the catch 165/8

44.3 nine down! Length ball outside off and McCarthy throws his hands at this, trying to drive. The slash goes hard but straight to Williamson in the slip cordon 179/9

44.6 Ireland are all out for 179! Wilson gets a short ball, a stinker, as the ball hits his glove and then his helmet before popping over to the slip cordon. McBrine remains unbeaten on 73. NZ also enforce the follow on 179/10

39.5 snorter, and Tickner breaks through! This is a brute of a delivery. Shortish on middle and off, and this kicks up to cause all sorts of problems. Doheny cannot get out of the way and fends at it in hope. The ball loops up (perhaps off a combination of splice and glove), and Conway is alert enough to lunge forward from gully to send Doheny on his way. Gutsy knock, but Ireland lose their set batter! 104/5

9.1 nicked and gone, and Balbirnie punches his bat in frustation! Fullish outside off and the perfect length to invite the drive. Balbirnie cannot resist the temptation and goes searching for it without much foot movement. The ball nips away enough and grazes the outside edge. Blundell does the rest, and Tickner has broken this promising opening stand! 42/1

13.3 has that carried?! Looks like it might have, and Carmichael has to go! Full on middle and off, and this seems to nibble away having threatened to come in with the angle. Carmichael plays the original angle and tries to work to leg but all he manages is an outside edge that is snaffled up at second slip. Tickner has two! 57/2

20.6 Smith is back among the wickets! Mayes had been prodding at this back of a length ones for a while. Now Smith pushes this in just outside off, moving back in. Gets this to bounce, ricochet off Mayes' outside edge, and down to a diving second slip 70/3

25.4 Tector's parried this one right into the slips! What a delivery. Tector was uncomfortable against the short deliveries here. This one seams lethally into Tector, who falls at the crease and his bat grip catches the delivery. Out to second slip, he never looked okay at the crease this morning 75/4

32.5 Campher drops his bat here! Was back of a length and jumped back in sharply. It's thudded into his tumbs, looks like his left hand - the upper one - has caught this beyond the glove padding... He is on his knees and the physio is out to get this sorted... And guess what... Campher is walking off. He might need to get a scan done at the hospital here. Quite unfortunate, he was looking solid 88/4

54.1 Tucker's thrown away his wicket here. Smith has his second wicket. A well-directed bouncer, right into his chest. Tucker cannot get under the ball here, swings across the line anyway. Mitchell runs behind the keeper to swallow up this delivery 170/7

49.2 Foulkes picks up a wicket with a bit of a nothingburger ball. Too short, too wide, McBrine should put this one away. He somehow cuts this straight to backward point, who jumps to his left to gobble this up... McBrine throws his head back. He should have pushed this away for four 150/6

59.6 proper chaos in the middle, and McCarthy has been run out! Bumper just outside leg. Adair backs away and forehands it into the vacant cover region. Two runs are completed easily but McCarthy, in trying to keep Adair on strike, hares down for the third. He gets sent back and he slips while turning too. The throw is to the bowler's end and Tickner does enough, despite McCarthy sprawling to regain his ground. Chaotic! 223/8

63.2 edged and taken! Tickner has five, and that will be that for this Test! Back of a length just outside off. Wilson goes nibbling at it, despite his feet stuck to the turf. Gets a healthy outside edge and Mitchell foes the rest at first slip. Handshakes all around - this has been a clinical display, and they have done the job with more than four sessions of this Test left! 232/9
