Black Caps vs England Series

The only thing that will save us is rain

So surely they declare now? Bizarre not to, NZ won't even score 300, but they have the smallest chance of batting out a day and a half.

[MN5]

Root brings up the hundy with a ramp shot. Classic McCullum.

O’Rourke brings up the ton too. 0-103.

They’re taking the piss now ( if they weren’t before )

This is entertaining and horrific all at the same time.

Wow, fucken awesome catch from Blundell, as good as you’ll see.

England declare. We’re chasing 582 for victory.

That's a weird decision. Is weather thought to be a factor?

Surely the better play would have been to make us toil in the field for another couple of hours.

She’s grey and windy out my way. Rain is on the radar this evening

[MN5]

Stokes declares one run short of a half century.

Definitely a team man who doesn’t seem to care much for individual performances.

Gotta feel for our openers, both in questionable form and England will be absolutely fired up.

[MN5]

No double hat trick for Atkinson.

We’ll take that win.

[MN5]

Conway clean bowled by Woakes for a duck.

The woes just continue for the poor guy, really sad to see.

KW in.

[Chris B.]

@MN5 Definitely time for a rest for Devon!

[KiwiMurph]

Great decision to have an unchanged team....

[nzzp]

All we need to be is 2-3 down at 80 overs. Their bowlers will start to cook, and the next 80 will be easy batting amiright?

[MN5]

KW gone for 4.

Someone forgot to remind Woakes he’s playing overseas and supposed to be shit.

No pressure on the rest of the team

Stead isn't known for making big decisions. He and Latham can't justify selecting the same team - again.

[MN5]

Carse comes on and takes a terrific caught and bowled.

Latham gone, 33/3.

Provided Ravindra and Mitchell each get a double ton we should do this pretty comfortably

Agreed.

only 550 to go.

[canefan]

Where do we send the bill for playing the entire England team into form?
