    NZ all out 329 and that's about 100 more than they should have got, but England's catching has been not as good as it should have been...... nor the review yesterday but then Drs wasn't working this morning when Blundell given out....

    This is high class swing bowling especially from Boult. We are gonna be in trouble like we usually are when the balls moving around like this. Massive test of technique now

    Ffs awful technique by Pope and worse from Crawley. Clueless to be attempting booming drives when the balls moving like this. Fantastic from Boult but terrible batting

    Root gone now ! That one didn't look like it did nearly as much and he possibly played across the line. 50 looking like a possible all out score at the moment.

    Here we go ! Some amazing shots from Stokes already and Jonny could've been out 3 times already. Taking them on and playing shots, gonna need alot of luck early on but up to 5 an over now.

    ****s sake Stokes out to Wagner's 2nd ball. Almost as if he pulled out of going fully through with the shot. In deep trouble now

    You need to be a bit more circumspect when 21/4 on the 2nd day.....

    Brilliant to watch when chasing a game but no need to chase at this stage.... especially against such a class bowler like Boult

    The last time the top 3 batters were all bowled in a Test match in this country was 1949 !

    The last time an England spinner took 5 wickets in the first innings of a home Test was Jim Laker in 1959!

    After 10 days this series:

    New Zealand batters whose surname ends in -ell (3): 810 runs at an average of 90 in 12 innings

    New Zealand batters whose surname doesn't end in -ell (11): 604 runs at an average of 17.8 in 39 innings
