Will O'Rourke is bustling in.
Emilio Gay, to his credit, appears to have put the foolhardy call for a single to run out Ben Duckett behind him.
The Durham left-hander has shown reasonably good judgment of when to leave O'Rourke and when to defend him.
There's a leading edge off the final ball of the over but it stays low.
A second maiden for the Kiwi seamer.

You can just tell a decent player and that shot is it. Jacob Bethell beautifully positioned himself.
Gorgeous timing from Jacob Bethell, who has sun cream smeared on his cheeks despite the greying skies.
The left-hander effortlessly strokes the first ball of the over from Matthew Henry through the covers for four.
Still quite grey and muggy at The Oval.
Ned Flanders' leftorium needs to become a mobile shop following these two teams around, I reckon.
Emilio Gay gets his body in line behind a stoic defensive shot to a short-ish ball from Will O'Rourke.
Later in the over, O'Rourke twice beats the outside edge of Gay's bat, prompting gasps from the New Zealand cordon.

This is the seventh time in Test history where the top three of both sides in the first innings of the match are all left-handed.
Matthew Henry fizzes another delivery past the edge of Jacob Bethell's defensive shot during a maiden over.
Here's how Ben Duckett was run out a few moments ago. If you can bear to watch it.

It's a little test of character now for Emilio Gay. It hurts when you run your mate out and it was kind of his fault as well.
Just the ability to blank that out and go again.
Trail by 333 runs
This will do Emilio Gay's confidence the world of good.
A stylish drive through the covers for four off Kyle Jamieson by the England opener.
It was slightly overpitched by the Kiwi seamer but that should take nothing away from the aesthetics of Gay's strokeplay.

The last time England's first dismissal of a Test was run out was Hobart 2022, when Rory Burns was run out in the second over of their innings.
Jacob Bethell deftly opens the face and uses the pace from Matthew Henry to get off the mark with a casual guide through the vacant third region.
Henry responds with a peach which nips away and beats the outside edge of Bethell's defensive stroke.
Testing little period for England given Emilio Gay has yet to settle and Bethell is new to the crease.

That’s the problem with a new opening pair! Never a run there to Nathan Smith, or even a lesser fielder. Now Duckett is gone having looked fluid. So irritating! Sorry!
Che, West Bridgeford
This is so England. Start well then doing something stupid.
Ben, Surrey
Awful run out. No dive. Didn't even run his bat in.
Ben, Horwich
Bethell picks up his third wicket as he bowls Jamieson for 41
Jacob Bethell, who picked up three wickets earlier, is the new batter and he survives his first ball from Kyle Jamieson.

Image source, PA MediaThat's the pressure of Test cricket. Emilio Gay hadn't scored since lunch and was desperate to get his scoreboard ticking. There just wasn't a single there, it was a poor call.
Duckett run out (Smith) 36 (Eng 45-1)
Barbecued!
Emilio Gay pokes Kyle Jamieson in to the off side and calls Ben Duckett for a single.
But Nathan Smith fields cleanly and his throw zips to the striker's end.
A direct hit and Duckett is trudging back to the pavilion.
There was never a single there. Gay put his head into his hands.

Emilio Gay's got to be careful, he's getting turned round.
While Ben Duckett is playing nicely, it's not been plain sailing for Emilio Gay who is drawn into playing at an awkward delivery from Kyle Jamieson which falls just short of the slip cordon.
Was there bat on that? No, just a healthy chunk of thigh.
Daniel Norcross
Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Duckett is looking in a rich vein of form at the moment. His feet are moving well and he's playing decisively.
Matt Henry makes a mess of a short-pitched delivery and Ben Duckett punishes him with a dismissive slap through mid-wicket.
Later in the over, Henry drifts on to Duckett's pads and he glances it through mid-wicket for four.
Duckett has 36 off 25 balls.

First five overs of this innings New Zealand have been able to find 1.6 degrees of swing, and 0.57 degrees of seam - both of them are lower than England.
England were also bowling around half a metre fuller than New Zealand at this stage of their bowling innings.
A tentative prod from Emilio Gay to the final ball of the over from Kyle Jamieson. Gay then rehearses the leave straight after.
He knows he should have left that well alone.
