    It's a good channel. It was there to be left and Tom Latham dangled his bat.

    WICKET

    Latham c Rew b Archer 4 (NZ 8-1)

    Tom Latham hangs his bat to a delivery back of length from Jofra Archer and he edges it into the gloves of James Rew.

    There was just enough movement off the seam from Archer to the left-hander who trudges back to the pavilion knowing he should have left that well alone.

    The Oval crowd cheer in celebration. A handy early breakthrough for England.

  3. NZ 8-0

    Some uneven bounce with the new ball has Matthew Fisher open mouthed.

    He skids one slightly low-ish between Devon Conway's bat and pad.

    It's a good pitch but there's still some juice in it.

  4. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    New Zealand have got an incredible chance to level the series if they bat with sense today.

  5. NZ 8-0

    'Keeping England in the match' - Fisher reaches a first Test 50

    Matthew Fisher, buoyed by a maiden Test half-century, will share the new ball with Jofra Archer.

    Tom Latham takes a middle-and-leg guard.

    Fisher is full first up and Latham gently pushes him into the off side for a single.

  6. NZ 7-0

    Some decent carry from Jofra Archer's final delivery of the over which Devon Conway shoulders arms to.

  7. NZ 7-0

    Beautifully played by Devon Conway.

    Slightly overpitched by Jofra Archer and the Kiwi opener plays a classical straight drive to mid-off's left which whistles away for four.

    Glorious sunshine bathing The Oval now,

    England have to strike early to continue with that momentum of the last wicket partnership.

  9. NZ 2-0

    Jofra Archer limbers up at the top of his mark before running in,

    His first delivery is on Tom Latham's heels and the Kiwi opener flicks it into the legside for a couple.

  10. Joe Root, meanwhile, has England's players in a huddle just inside in the boundary.

    Root, collar turned up and sunglasses on his cap, imparts some final words of wisdom.

  11. Tom Latham and Devon Conway are loitering on the edge of the boundary at The Oval, ready for the resumption.

    They punch gloves then being their walk out to the middle.

  12. Back to matters at The Oval. Here's how Matthew Fisher got to his maiden Test half-century shortly before lunch.

    100 runs behind. Extras of 53 - without those it wouldn’t be so bad. Bowlers - get closer to the stumps, better fielding required.

    Margaret, Ireland

    Unfortunately England gave away 53 extras - completely negating Emilio Gay's innings!

    Alan, Wantage

    What’s telling is that New Zealand only required 12 overs to score 100 more runs. England absolutely cannot go to the same bowling plan. Especially to Phillips.

    We're taking lunch, at basically the standard time with the final wicket falling just before 1pm.

    A handy last-wicket partnership for England, but they had a terrible start to their morning, losing three wickets for three runs as Matt Henry ran riot.

    The New Zealand seamer finished with figures of 5-80, with Will O'Rourke taking a couple of wickets and Nathan Smith and Kyle Jamieson one apiece.

    Here's Timothy Abraham to take you through the afternoon session.

    Five biggest first-innings deficits conceded by teams going on to win Tests at The Oval:

    1. England beat Australia in 1902 after being 141 behind
    2. India beat England in 2021 after being 99 behind
    3. India beat England in 1971 after being 71 behind
    4. Sri Lanka beat England in 2024 after being 62 behind
    5. England beat Australia in 1997 after being 40 behind

  18. Jeremy Coney
    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    England are delighted with the way they've been able to construct those extra runs.

  19. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    That ultimately is a job well done by New Zealand.

    WICKET

    Baker c Latham b Jamieson 4 (Eng 291 all out)

    Kyle Jamieson finds the ball that breaks the partnership and ends the innings.

    Sonny Baker faces his first five balls without scoring then edges the sixth to Tom Latham at second slip.

    England concedes a first innings lead of exactly 100, which could have been a fair bit worse had it not been for that 53-run 10th wicket partnership.
