New Zealand bring Will O'Rourke on for Kyle Jamieson and Joe Root sends his first delivery through point for four.
Root then almost chops the last ball of the over onto his stumps - he instinctively takes a swat at the dropping ball but it is already past the stumps, he was in greater danger of accidentally charging into his wicket.

Everyone is being very harsh on Jacob Bethell. The talent is clearly there, a ‘trust the process’ I think is needed.
Sam, Helsinki
Sir Alastair Cook appears to be right about Jacob Bethell. James Rew had a day to forget yesterday, but at least he has 12 first-class centuries.
I will never understand how Joe Public can have a definitive view on what a player should do. It's not like they have any idea about them as a person. Leave England and Jacob Bethell to work it out
Vince, Guernsey
Joe Root takes a couple square off Matt Henry, then adds a single to mid-on at the close of the over to retain the strike.
Meanwhile, up at Chester-le-Street, Ben Stokes has reached a run-a-ball 51 against Northamptonshire.
We move to Richie Benaud's favourite score as Ben Duckett takes a couple of runs to mid-wicket off Kyle Jamieson.
England have scored five runs off the last five overs - they're certainly not trying to swashbuckle their way to their target at present.
Joe Root can't stop Matt Henry picking up a maiden though.
For those wondering, it's looking pretty sunny at The Oval now, having been a touch grey earlier.

Carl, Yorkshire
It might be an idea for Jacob Bethell to play the occasional first-class match rather than pitching up from limited-overs cricket and trying to be a Test number three batter.
Martin, West Bridgford
Methinks the experiment with Jacob 'wunderkind' Bethell is over. Send him back to county cricket for the rest of the season, a Lions winter tour and hopefully he'll fulfill his promise next year.
Baltos, St Leonards-on-Sea
Joe Root denies Kyle Jamieson a first maiden in this innings, knocking the ball out to mid-wicket and running a brisk single.

If you total the time that Joe Root has spent at the crease in his Test career, it comes out to over 25 days
Eng 19-2
A pretty poor review that.
It was indeed a strike way outside the line - a case of New Zealand getting overly keen.
They drop to two reviews, having lost that one.
Joe Root doesn't play a shot and is struck on the pad by Kyle Jamieson.
He looks a fair way outside the line, but New Zealand decide to go for their second review of the innings in the hope it nipped back a fair way.
Ben Duckett faces the remaining three balls of the over without scoring.
The opener raced to 36 from 25 balls in the first innings and was run out by Emilio Gay, he's on five from 17 today.
14,000 Test runs for Joe Root!
He pushes Matt Henry to cover for a single, becoming, after Sachin Tendulkar, the second man to reach that landmark.
A remarkable achievement.
Eng 18-2
Umpire's call on impact with the leg stump.
Ben Duckett survives and New Zealand retain their review.
Another wicket for Kyle Jamieson?
He sends his final ball thudding into Ben Duckett's pads.
Nothing from the umpire, and it looks like it's heading down, but New Zealand decide to have a pop.
Edged... short again!
Joe Root clips Kyle Jamieson's delivery, with the ball dropping just short of Tom Latham at second slip.
Root then whips a single out to mid-wicket to move to 13,999 Test runs.
Ben Jones
CricViz analyst
After 16 innings, 31% of Jacob Bethell's Test runs came in that one knock at Sydney.
Michael Vaughan
Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special
A perfect start for New Zealand, difficult for England.
New batter Joe Root is yet to face, with Ben Duckett taking all of Matt Henry's third over.
The opener pulls the last ball of the over for four - that's his first boundary.
Now Root, two runs short of 14,000 in Tests, will take on Kyle Jamieson.
Bethell lbw b Jamieson 0 (Eng 13-2)
Two in the over! Jacob Bethell goes for a four-ball duck.
Kyle Jamieson's delivery from round the wicket nips back on the left-hander and traps him plumb in front.
An excellent delivery - Bethell consults with Ben Duckett, but they're not unwise enough to ask for a review.
463 is looking very far away...
