Jofra Archer to Williamson, no run, a big appeal for caught behind - umpire Cory Black reckons that KW has got an under-edge, he's just checking it if carried cleanly to Buttler, did look clean on first sight. Was another nip-backer and was too close to cut, cramped for room, KW appears to have got an under-edge - UltraEdge does confirm the same - now, has it carried cleanly into Buttler's gloves? The front-on angle appears with the ball on the ground and Buttler's gloves not underneath it - umpire Ahsan Raza has a few looks and he reckons that the ball is on the ground - NOT OUT is the call

Jofra Archer to Williamson, no run, another huge appeal for LBW, KW was turned inside out by Archer's angle and was struck on the pad, but is it too high? England have reviewed though - nipped back off a length and straightened across the right-hander - KW was looking to work it onto the on-side, gets opened up by the angle and is struck on the back-pad, on the flap and it's bouncing over the off-stump - England lose a review as the original decision stays.

Jofra Archer to Williamson, no run, short of a good length and slanting into the right-hander - KW was looking to turn it onto the on-side and missed

Jofra Archer to Will Young, out Lbw!! A celeb appeal and Will Young has been given OUT LBW, he has a chat with his partner and off he goes. Early wicket and it's Jofra Archer with the strike for England, doesn't bother to even turn back in an appeal, so plumb was Will Young. Very full and a hint of nip back into the right-hander - Young was caught in the crease and ended up playing around his front-pad, missed the ball completely and was struck on the back knee-roll, which was bent. The ball was crashing into the middle stump and New Zealand are off to a poor start. Will Young lbw b Jofra Archer 0(4)
