Mark Wood to Neil Broom, no run, short of length just outside off, played into the covers
30.5
Mark Wood to Neil Broom, no run, the pitch is really acting up when confronted with some of these cross-seamers. Length ball, it stops and bounces vertically to hit the splice of Broom's bat. Lucky that it didn't pop up to the fielder at short leg

Mark Wood to Williamson, out Caught by Buttler!! That's jumped at Williamson, and he's helpless. Williamson can be many things, but he's not often helpless. It's one cracking delivery from Wood, with the pitch playing no less of a part. Back of a length, bites and rears at Williamson as he tries to dab it away into the off-side. Perhaps tried to run it down to third man. But the ball climbed at him, took some glove and Buttler takes a good catch diving to his right. England desperately needed to break this partnership. Massive wicket. Williamson c Buttler b Mark Wood 87(98) [4s-8]

Mark Wood to Ross Taylor, no run, close and Taylor gets lucky again, he's had some luck and once again looks at the pitch.

7.6
Mark Wood to Williamson, 2 runs, stays true to his walks. With a dab behind point

7.4

Mark Wood to Williamson, no run, an aimless flash. Without much of an intent to connect in the first place. Doesn't

5.4
Mark Wood to Guptill, no run, a half-hearted poke. Loosely in the air, only to connect with thin air
5.3

5.2
Mark Wood to Williamson, no run, marginally fuller. Gives the permission to be driven. Obliged..and finds cover
5.1
Mark Wood to Williamson, no run, in the channel just outside off. More of the usual. Gets across, cramps himself and bunts it out
3.6
Mark Wood to Williamson, no run, 143kph. He has the ball on a thread here - weaving it around like a puppet master. Takes the wobbly seam and rips in to sneak away past another attempted punch
3.5
Mark Wood to Williamson, no run, 142kph. A solid crunchy punch minus the followthrough. Finds cover
3.4

Mark Wood to Guptill, no run, throws his hands out. For some thrashing. Is yet to get his timing right. A skew for now
3.2
Mark Wood to Williamson, 3 runs, times the leather off it in the form of a punch. The elegance behind this deserved a lot more. For now, has to do with a three off the back foot
3.1

1.6
Mark Wood to Williamson, 1 run, in his favourite region. An open batted steer behind the man at point
