Foulkes to Jamie Overton, no run, has it carried to the keeper? Foulkes was very much interested, but don't think Latham was sure - did Overton even get an inside edge?

Foulkes to Jacob Bethell, out Bowled!! That's a corker and poor Jacob Bethell has no answers - Foulkes and New Zealand are on fire - this looks like a floaty inswinger, very full and angling back into the left-hander, Bethell thinks he's had it covered as he plays forward, but the ball then curves away wickedly, past the defensive prod of the left-hander and sends the off-stump crashing onto the ground - England in massive trouble now as they lose their 4th wicket.
