Black Caps v England

When does the test start? Because this is no test for England. Easy money.

the game was closer in Mt Maunganui.
FFS though, we are a distant second here. It may well be Wagner's last test too, and would be a shitty way to send him off. KJ's injury was monstrous for us; he should have troubled the Root/Brook axis of evil. Henry aside, we looked ineffective with the ball after half an hour.
Still, on the bright side we had a long way to fall. England's rise has basically mirrored our plummet
-
I see we have lost a few wickets but the bulk of the batting in this team is in the mid-lower order.
From here these two just need to settle in and if they can both get big hundreds we may eak out a small lead. Either that or be close enough to the England total.
That way if we bowl well in the third innings we can chase a small total in the fourth.

We are now getting destroyed.
Pope is some fielder in close, but still. FFS.
Indeed. The follow on looks a million miles away and really, what are the odds of Blundell getting any sort of decent score twice in a row ?
This is some depressing shit.
Looks like FIVE consecutive losses to the same side that got fucked up the arse by Australia barely a year ago.

Into the all rounders now. Southee is due some runs and Henry has been in excellent form for NZ lately.
A first innings lead now would take some doing but be good to get within say 50-100.
Wow, I’m glad you’re not a selector. I think they’re firmly classed as “bowlers who can bat a bit sometimes”
Henry has got two fifties in his last six innings……but he’s also got three ducks in that period too.

Don't be such a negative nelly. At 27 this is the biggest partnership of the innings. Good things to come.

I’m just waiting for the usual suspects to come on here and have a go at Southee for not batting responsibly.

You can't please everybody.
3 nicely taken singles in this over. Turning the strike over in sensible fashion.

That’s exactly how good all rounders bat

The only surprise in a game going totally to script is, how on earth is it not raining in Wellington?
It's not going to my script!
England's first innings wasn't far off expectation - though at 21/3 I hoped we might deviate from expectations.
But, we had stacked the batting and on paper it looks a powerful line-up - a deeply disappointing effort.
edit: Bracewell at 8 for this test is about the quality you'd expect.in that position. England has Broad.
