All out for 347.
Actually a pretty handy enough score, much better than I thought they’d get to
Middle order really bailed out by Santner (and WOR).
Here's a thought.
In a five day test match, why not hit most of the balls along the ground. Especially if you're supposed to be a specialist batsman!
Bradman would be turning in his grave watching players with so much talent repeatedly throw their wickets away, he averaged 100 because on top of his talent he absolutely never hit the ball in the air, because why would he? The way batsmen play today is certainly entertaining and we get results in test matches far more often due to the higher run rates, but at the end of the day absolutely none of them are going to get close to Bradman's stats if they continue to hit the ball in the air all the time, no matter how talented they are.
Bradman himself said there were other guys with more talent but the edge he had was that he could concentrate for longer.
I think he was being a bit self effacing though.

Some talk in the radio commentary about sending in Southee next to see if he can get the two sixes he needs to get 100 of them.
Given he hasn’t contributed with the ball and yet this whole series is all about him I say why the hell not ?
He should have gone in as night watchman lastnight. We were never in any danger given the 1st innings lead. If he survived lastnight he could have had a crack earlier today

Im sure he will contribute with a economy rate of 6, will that help?

He’ll certainly do all he can to keep England in the game.
KW with 33 tons. One more and he’ll equal one of my all time favourite legends ever.

He also could have gone in once Rav got out

If Kane was captain I reckon he would have declared by now. Latham is happy for him to make some easy runs
I think giving ourselves 2 days to bowl them out is more than enough.

Not knowing when you should go out on a high is on him and Stead, impacts his own legacy as a result. Thats sad putting yourself before the team.
