    I'm not sure I have as much patience as Sibley does.

    Maybe not, but he's exactly what we need right now. ( Hopefully not commentator's curse. )

    Can he play center-back for QPR? We need someone like him.

    All leg side though. I'd like to see him play a cover drive.

    50 partnership & not often we can say that with our opening batsmen over the last few tests

    Sibley gone now. I hope he proves me wrong, but I'm not sure he can make it as a Test player. He looks like he can only play one side of the wicket.

    Who's the alternative? From what I read he sound's like the man for the job. I don't know enough about county cricket to suggest otherwise.

    I don't know either, mate. Hard to see Sibley being the answer from tonight's evidence, though.

    I thought he looked alright. 61/1 at lunch is OK. He'll learn and it's something to build on. Burns has done Ok and I can't see us getting another Pieterson in our lifetime ... sadly.

    240/4 at close......Could be described as a proper days test cricket....lays a decent foundation for England to push on towards a score that will put pressure on the NZ batsmen....

    NZ struggling against some good England bowling, this match looking nicely balanced...

    Was thinking what a nice looking ground it is and then a wide angle shot shows what looks like an oil refinery in the background...…

    Pitch looks very flat......what ball are they using the Dukes or Kookabura…….anyone know?

    And before you ask Yasir Shah can't become an England Player before 2021, just saying.

    NZ have batted England out of this match, best we can get now is a draw. What we don't want is a typical top order collapse when we bat again...

    Well and truly batted into the ground, a very tough final day in prospect, NZ looking almost certain winners unless our key batsmen show the same level of patience as NZ did...
