Young lost concentration there. Very slow to turn around.

There is something magnificent about Conway isn't there? He looks in so much control when he's batting.
He does, but he seems to sometimes defend outside the off stump by hanging his bat there. The better bowlers will pepper that if he is not careful.

Jeez that Taylor dismissal was bloody close to a no ball. Hope they are checking it behind the scenes.

Nicholls looking like he's not going to last long.

Standard but he’s very good despite this

Rides his luck a lot. At least last year he did.

I see a comment in the Cricinfo feed that these two are probably under the most pressure in the NZ line-up, but with Rossco's impending departure, I think that pressure is pretty minimal. Henry has had a short lean sequence, but right now he's still averaging fractionally under 40 for past 12 months, and we don't drop people with that form (let's face it - someone with a career average of 39 will probably make our all-time second XI).
Mitch Jr. might be slightly unlucky in his timing.
Blundell goes....

Marvellous standing ovation for Sir Ross Taylor when he walked out to bat.
Good thing I spent most of the day at the ground, as the Shithouse Spark Sport app has lagged several times in the ten minutes since we’ve been home.
I seem to have the opposite experience from you with the apps - I find the Sky Sport app laggy as fuck, particularly when I play it on my T.V. (if I play it via my PS4 it is marginally better), whereas the Spark Sport app is smooth as. I also absolutely loathe the fact that the Sky Sport app still acts as if you are watching it on the box rather than streaming with no option to play from the start. That caught me out with an ABs game that I was 30 minutes late for, just took me straight to half time with no way of watching from the beginning.

And Nicholls is holding the innings together at the moment.
Hopefully someone can stay with him and push us over350.Blundel Is not the best WK in NZ and is struggling with the bat over the last 12 months.
If he drops a few in this series he maybe under a heap of pressure. -
Back to the cricket, our batsmen have done enough given the strength of our bowling lineup and inexperience of their top order. I'd be surprised if they manage much more than 200, but stranger things have happened.
Conway's stats are looking damn good at all levels across all formats. He's a real class act, we really could have used him in the T20 final to back Kane up. I hope the rest of the team gave him all sorts of grief over that.

@no-quarter I've written many times before that 220/4 is a solid benchmark par for the first innings - pretty much regardless of conditions (barring a minefield) or opposition. So we're marginally ahead of the game right now - 220/4 translates to 300 if your lower order falls apart, or 450+ if they make hay.
I don't really expect the Bangles to flourish though, so par should be enough!

Could've done without Blundell's wicket.
However I'd be disappointed if end up less than 350 with the batting we hgave left.
