    It's been a really productive morning so far for the New Zealand batters and it's helped by England's tactics with the short ball to begin with.

  2. NZ 350-7

    Woops.

    Emilio Gay lets Kyle Jamieson's drive break through him in the covers - that's four.

    A further single off Jacob Bethell's final ball takes New Zealand to 350.

  3. This is WinViz's current position.

    New Zealand making headway.

    It's been a good morning for the New Zealanders. I felt with that missed opportunity yesterday with players getting 20s, 30s, 40s, they missed the chance to make a mark for their side.

  5. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    If this continues for much longer, we'll have to see Jofra Archer soon.

  6. NZ 345-7

    Phillips 80, Jamieson 22

    A direct hit at the non-striker's end, but Kyle Jamieson is safely home after jabbing the ball to Ben Duckett at point.

    That makes the tail-ender the second-highest run-scorer of the series, moving ahead of Emilio Gay.

    Glenn Phillips, who leads that chart, then guides Josh Tongue's delivery between gully and point for his 15th four.

    Jacob Bethell is going to come on to bowl, five overs after England took the new ball.

    Hey, he took two wickets yesterday...

  7. NZ 340-7

    One through the covers, one through mid-wicket.

    Glenn Phillips tucks away consecutive deliveries off Sonny Baker for four, moving to 76.

  8. Ben Jones

    The last time a team batted first at The Oval, scored this many runs, and lost, was England against South Africa back in 2012.

  9. Jeremy Coney
    Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match Special

    I thought New Zealand would be lucky to get to the total they're sitting on. It's been a productive session for them, there's been all sorts happening.

  10. NZ 332-7

    That's a tidy delivery.

    Josh Tongue scoots one over Kyle Jamieson's off stump, slicing through the defences of the New Zealand seamer.

    New Zealand were 166-4 at tea yesterday, England leaked runs in the evening session and whilst the Archer spell was fun, this morning has really undermined the effort and handed New Zealand the advantage.

    Ben, London

    Why do we constantly try to bounce the lower order out? Line and length bowling is how a bowler gets the call-up in the first place.

    Paul, Finchingfield

    Other than when England got skittled against Australia in the last home Ashes, has the short ball theory ever worked? I can understand against maybe a top order player as a last resort but against the tail it just seems to fly everywhere and they get 20-30 extra runs.

    Andy, Devon

  12. NZ 329-7

    No harm done for Kyle Jamieson - he drives Sonny Baker's final delivery confidently through the covers for four.

    New Zealand have scored 38 off five overs this morning.

  13. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Jamieson threw the helmet off and gloves down in despair that it's happened again.

  14. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    That's grilled Jamieson, that gives you a bit of a shudder.

  15. NZ 325-7

    Ouch, Kyle Jamieson is hit on the helmet for the second time this morning, taking Sonny Baker's delivery right in the grille.

    We'll have another concussion check and helmet change.

    Jamieson is 6'8, so these deliveries are getting up a fair bit.

  16. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    We sensed New Zealand were going to come out and play some shots. Sonny Baker does give you that chance.

  17. NZ 324-7

    Nicely placed.

    Glenn Phillips moves into the sixties, firing Josh Tongue's delivery along the grass to the mid-wicket ropes.

    Tongue responds by beating the bat.

    New Zealand are going at exactly four an over.

    All these byes are particularly harsh on James Rew, impossible to reach so many of them. A fairly fine leg would probably have saved England 30 runs in this innings.

    Ray, Wiltshire

    England never learn - this pathetic short-ball policy is only going to end one way, with a lot of easy runs for New Zealand.

    Robin, Coventry

    Has no one ever taught English bowlers how to bowl yorkers? This short-pitched stuff is just giving easy runs away.

    Graham, France

  19. new ball

    New ball - NZ 318-7

    Four more immediately as Glenn Phillips gets in on the action, pulling his 11th four between two fielders behind square.

    Sonny Baker finishes with two dot balls, but that's still 13 runs off the over and 27 in total in three overs this morning.

    England are going to take the new ball immediately, with Josh Tongue continuing.

  20. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    This is a scruffy start to day two. Jamieson is just whacking away and they're flying everywhere.
