39.2
Broad to Latham, out Lbw!! A celebappeal from Broad and Latham has been given out LBW. He wants a review though. It's a fair delivery and it has smashed into Latham's back pad, no inside edge and ball-tracking shows umpire's call on hitting. The original decision will stay. Nicely done by Broad - was the awayswinger the previous ball, this one jagged back in sharply - Latham was shuffling across on the clip and missed, struck adjacent to middle and the ball was going with the angle to clip the outside part of leg-stump. Gough is vindicated with his call, but New Zealand at least don't lose a review. Latham lbw b Broad 36(99) [4s-3]

Broad to Conway, no run, another review, once again it's for caught behind. It's a fair delivery and there's clear daylight between bat and ball, NOT OUT remains and England lose a review. Poor review indeed, there wasn't a big shout for caught behind after Conway was cut in half by this sharp indipper - burst from outside off and zipped past Conway's inside edge, even as he poked forward from the crease.
