438 all out now. Very good fight back this. It's hard to say until both teams have batted but NZ might even end up under par here.
 
That's pretty poor from NZ are being 317-0. Excellent from England today though.

Time will tell . I read yesterday was the best day for batting given the conditions , it will favour the bowlers for the rest of the test .

Maybe that was why it was such a good toss to win .
 
I'm very interested to see how Philippe goes for Surrey. He's been decent in Aussie domestic cricket for a long time, and I've long thought he should be a regular in the Blast. Can keep, can open, and will generally have great availability.

And talking of keepers-openers, bye bye Bairstow!
 
Sussex once again doing their thing of having their openers get off to a flyer. But can they finally avoid collapsing horribly once they lose a wicket?
