113.3 Neil Wagner to Ben Stokes
OUT! Caught. Neil Wagner to Ben Stokes. Short, outside off stump on the back foot cutting, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to third man, by Southee. New Zealand have worked so hard for this wicket and with the last ball of the session they get Ben Stokes. The Englishman had worked so hard for his 66 but a touch of fatigue maybe and he scoops the ball up into the air. Fantastic grab from Southee running backwards and taking the catch over his shoulder.That has swung things considerably going into the final session as England only have the bowlers left to see out 31.3 overs. It is going to be extremely tough and New Zealand will throw everything they have to try and get these last three wickets.
