Getting Sibley yesterday was big. Getting him now is even bigger.

Abbott got Cook twice in a match earlier this season. Now he gets the next-best-thing-to-Cook twice in a match.
 
Poor drop off Hain. If your keeper is going to dive across 1st slip, he has to then take it.
 
Very pleased for Abbott. He bowled excellently in the first innings (best bowler on either side), but with little reward. Now he's getting that reward.
 
If Hardik can't bowl his remaining overs, NZ will really need to cash in against whoever fills in. Given that they're playing three WKs, it might have to be Kohli himself.
 
Such an advantage to them, we had that a bit at the Rose Bowl for the T20 a while back.

Of course it helps when you have, probably, the best seamer, the best spinner, and the best opening batsman on the county circuit. Not to mention the very recent experience of knowing how to win the title.

They're at home again next week...
 
Notts will probably do well just to make 100.

Beginning to get concerned for us, for the first time. Obviously we've still got the new ball to come, but I'm quite desperate for us to pick up a wicket before then.
