    Not sure it would have been this sporting if we had Stokes and Buttler in the side.

    First priority will be not to lose. It would be nice if we were only one or two down at tea and could have a proper go at it after.

    At least Sibley is playing like an opener. An old school one at that.

    Root gone, that should shut the door to a bore draw. Fair play to NZ for dangling a carrot...

    If they had pushed a bit harder earlier they could’ve reached the target

    Disappointing that England didn't even give it a go.

    As you said yourself, with a couple of the missing players we might have tried…..and we might not have been given the opportunity.

    I think New Zealand warrant more than two test matches, they are better than Sri Lanka, Pakistan & on par with South Africa but it’s always only two when we play them

    The ball's swinging plenty after lunch. England struggling on 85-3.

    It might be moving but there is no excuse for Crawley’s feet anchored in concrete waving the bat effort. **** me, it’s like he’s never been coached, even to a basic level.

    Took the dog for a walk just before lunch and we were sixty odd for no loss. Come back and see that we're 90/3.
    Just seen Crawley's dismissal, it was like watching a slip catching practice session.

    I was out with the dog too, and haven't seen Crawley's dismissal yet. A number of England's batsmen have technical issues.

    You got a new dog? Another gargantuan hound/hippo hybrid?

    Crawley’s dismissal was on a par with Lawrence’s in the last match. Jaw dropping for specialist test batsmen.
