A mammoth victory for New Zealand in Tim Southee's final Test.

A wonderful Test career comes to an end.

An early lunch has already been called in Hamilton.

If (and it's a big if) there is a no more rain, play will restart at 00:10 GMT.

A 36th Test hundred for Joe Root, brought up with a reverse ramp!

He is now joint-fifth on the all-time list of players with the most hundreds in Test cricket.

Jacob Bethell falls four runs short of a first Test hundred.

Had he got to the milestone, he would have been England's youngest men's Test centurion in 86 years πŸ‘€

The first time in the history of Test cricket that a batter has hit a six off a seamer in the first over of a Test.

Crawley later fell for 17.

It's the 17th Test in a row at Wellington where the side that's won the toss has decided to bowl first πŸ‘€

Both teams are unchanged.

A convincing win for England.
