New Zealand frustrated England on day three, first with a counter-attacking half-century from Tim Southee to delay the follow-on and then stubbornly resisting the bowlers in the second innings. Three wickets in the final session turned the day back in England's favour, with New Zealand still trailing by 24 runs.

George Dobell, The Cricketer's chief correspondent, takes questions from readers about events in New Zealand, including where Jack Leach ranks among international spinners, why England opted to follow-on and how many runs New Zealand need to potentially win the Test.
