England in a spot of bother towards end of Day 2.....NZ only 85 behind with 8 wickets left........ Looks like another Test playing catch up........If NZ bat through tomorrow they'll be 200 plus ahead.....
Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the singing for long periods. Sounded too much like a football match. The cheering, applaud and general enthusiasm from the crowd was much more like how a good cricket crowd should be.
4 down as Taylor out but should be 5 & Bracey having a nightmare behind the stumps, surely we have better than him in reserve
There are plenty of better keepers, but he's been picked primarily as a batsman. That's going well isn't it?
Yeah, that's pretty satisfactory, and could have been better if all the catches had been taken. If we can bat a bit better second time round, it's game on.
NZ all out 388 a lead of 85....... England need to post at least 350, means batting at least 4 sessions to set NZ something like 270ish on a 5th day pitch.......
Pope was looking good again, but once more fails to convert a start. A bit unlucky with the LBW decision, though. England in deep doodoo. Time for Bracey to justify his selection.
