A flurry of boundaries for Ben Stokes, who has taken a particular liking to Trent Boult and Tim Southee. Root, who has been quiet for a while in the final session, cut a Henry delivery for a four. Stokes also struck a six off Kyle Jamieson, who walks off the field with a back issue. The half-century stand comes up as Root advances down the track to collect a boundary off Bracewell. However, an attempted slog-sweep in the same over resulted in the wicket of the England captain, who handed a catch to Boult at midwicket. It was the end of a 61-run stand, and England are 405/5.
“That is a VERY nice catch indeed!” 👌
Big wicket for New Zealand! Trent Boult takes the catch, Ben Stokes will not be happy with that ❌#ENGvsNZ pic.twitter.com/Vtg7DqsFZR
