The umpires inspect the hole in the outfield which is causing issues for Ben Sears on his run-up, with Ben Stokes offering his tuppence worth.
Perhaps the disruption is affecting the England captain's concentration?

Jeremy Coney
Former New Zealand captain on BBC Test Match SpecialThere is more cheering for this passage of play when a person is fixing the ground than the actual game.

He does a bit, Chris.
The fictional town where Fireman Sam is from is 'PontyPandy' of course which is a portmanteau of Pontypridd and Tonypandy.
Meanwhile, there's a brief delay while a member of the groundstaff has come on to resolve a hole in the outfield on the bowler's run-up which has seemingly caused a few issues for Ben Sears.

Does anybody else think that Naughty Norman Price looks a bit like Daniel Vettori?
Chris, Pontypridd
I guarantee there will be at least one Fireman Sam in the crowd tomorrow.

You should see Sam Tan (Welsh version) bowl, he really puts some heat on it...

Zak Foulkes slips on to the hips of Harry Brook and the England vice-captain efficiently helps it on its way to down to fine leg for four.
England have settled down a little following that clump of wickets.

Ben Stokes, collared turned up, backs away as Ben Sears prepares to deliver his third delivery after the drinks break.
Stokes offers a quick word of apology.
The England skipper drives aesthetically through the covers but it's cut off allowing just the single.

It's only midday, we've had an hour of play on day three, and I genuinely don't think we'll eclipse this moment in the live text.

Meanwhile, Ben Stokes has just offered a chance off the bowling of Nathan Smith driving on the up.
It's whistled past the diving Devon Conway at gully and raced away for four.
Conway nearly got a hand to it.

CricViz analystIn this series, Joe Root has been troubled by seamers when facing deliveries projected to hit the stumps. He has been dismissed four times, averaging just 2.5 against such deliveries.
In England, the last time Root was dismissed four or more times by deliveries projected to hit the stumps in a series was against Australia in 2019. He was dismissed five times and averaged 4.6 in that series.

Have a bit of that!
A commanding pull shot from Harry Brook who swivels on his heels and hammers Will O'Rourke from outside off through mid-wicket for four.

Harry Brook looking a bit more relaxed now.
He whips Nathan Smith's third ball behind square for four and draws more cheers from the Trent Bridge crowd when he opens the face and guides the Kiwi seamer through point.
