Well that was a strange kind of session. New Zealand would have wanted more than one wicket, but will still fancy themselves, while England know that if they apply themselves, they can save this. The pressure was not as intense as you’d expect on a day 5 pitch because there’s not much help for the bowlers; they’re relying on batsmen getting themselves out, more than anything.
59th over: England 98-4 (Denly 21, Stokes 13) Williamson brings himself on for what’s probably the final over of the session and Denly clips his first ball to midwicket; they run three. Stokes then turns two to midwicket, and the final delivery of the session is squirted behind square on the off side for a single.
