How's stat?!

Jamie Smith has taken 88 catches in Test cricket with a catching success rate of 94%. No other player has taken as many catches in Test cricket as Jamie Smith since his debut.

Smith has dropped just six catches in his Test career so far, with two in each calendar year, and this is the first time he has dropped two catches in a single match.

NZ 395-6

Gus Atkinson doing his job at the other as he chalks up another maiden to keep the pressure on with Ben Stokes doing the damage in the wickets column.

WICKET

O’Rourke c Gay b Stokes 19 (NZ 393-6)

Ben Stokes grabs the bull by the horns.

Three slips and a gully in place for Will O'Rourke now, giving the Kiwi the option to play some attacking shots.

After defending and leaving five balls, O'Rourke cracks.

He is tempted to good down the ground but ends up slicing it straight up - leaving Emilio Gay with a simple catch in the ring.

If England can dismiss New Zealand this morning or just after lunch, I think England will score their runs faster than New Zealand have.

NZ 393-5

Daryl Mitchell's pad was close to his bat as he defended. He might simply not realise he has hit, which does happen at times.

Ben Stokes fizzes a delivery past the defensive prod of Will O'Rourke this time as he gets one to straighten.

Even on the replay, UltraEdge was saying he nicked it but Daryl Mitchell wasn't moving. He thought it was hitting his pad. The technology there quite clearly is saying he got the finest little touch with his bat.

WICKET

Mitchell c Smith b Stokes 11 (NZ 392-5)

Daryl Mitchell is shaking his head as he trudges off.

UltraEdge shows there was a sound as it passed the bat so it must have been the thinnest of edges.

It was a delivery back of length from Stokes which drew Mitchell into playing.

NZ 392-4

You'll be pleased, Steve. Gus Atkinson into the attack.

Daryl Mitchell picks up a single leaving Will O'Rourke to fend off the remainder of the over.

O'Rouke is now up to 19 which eclipses his first-class best of 17*.
