Having knocked Tom Blundell over with a low shooter, Axar Patel flattened Tim Southee’s stumps with a ball that straightened a touch, completing his fifth five-wicket haul in four Tests. Axar has been richly rewarded for his discipline and New Zealand are on the verge of being all-out as offie R Ashwin enticed Kyle Jamieson into a rash hoick across the line. Tail-enders William Somerville and Ajaz Patel are occupying the middle, with New Zealand trailing by 53 runs.
