Gutted for Wagner, he deserved a not out there.

Agreed. Brilliant rear guard action from the tail gunners. Some selfless batting the top order might want to get some tips on.

[No Quarter]

That's one for the record books lads. Ish and Wagner, absolutely un-fucking-believable!

I am lost for words.

Now it's over I can say the English spinner was not great. Where were Moeen and the other joker from the ODI series?

Moeen has had a poor tour. Rashid only plays the shorter stuff.

[canefan]

That was one of the greatest escapes

[No Quarter]

As if I didn't already have enough man-love for Wags. I'm about ready to have his kids. What a man.

There wasn't a lot of variation at the end there, but to be fair the pitch held up really well

Sensational from Sodhi and Wagner

[Cyclops]

Even when Kane gets a golden duck (first in tests too) nz still has one of its great days of test cricket.

31 overs according to cricinfo. Amazing stuff.

[mariner4life]

well, she's a funny old game, cricket.

That's a gutsy gutsy display from a few blokes today. Ish and Wagner earned their beers. Good by Latham, Beej and CDGH as well.

Fuck, nothing says NZ cricket like a bit of backbone out of the tail.

Series win!

[Mokey]

Ish batted for 3 hours and 10 mins. Monster effort.

[Donsteppa]

First home series win vs England since 83/84!

That's payback for the game in Auckland that England saved on the last tour 😉

Hard to see our top order shitting itself so badly two times in a row. I'm extremely confident we can hold on to win the series.

Second sentence was correct at least.

[Virgil]

It’s par for course that a lower order black cap wins/saves a test with the bat rather than the ball..

First ever Warriors team to start season 4-0 and first time Spurs beat Chelsea at the bridge in 27 years. What a sporting weekend!

After copping a bone breaking hit on the lower arm no less

Jerry and Chats would be proud

[Gunner]

Wow what innings from the lower orders.

Guts, determination, selfless.

And great call by Wagner to go for the review, he probably knew he’d be out but it chewed up enough time for bad light to be called.

I really thought we were fucked 6 down with almost 2 sessions left.

Great stuff, will go down in history as one of the great escapes.
