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.
Looks like you've been lucky with Spark: https://i.stuff.co.nz/sport/cricket/127425242/spark-sport-makes-black-caps-cricket-coverage-changes-after-subscriber-complaints
They're getting a bit of grief on Twitter too...

@donsteppa Das may have hurt his back on that shot

Jamieson's bowling looks more like a poor man's Jacob Oram than the man of last season.
Southee also looks very laboured by his standards.
Double “ouch” for this post.
I mean we all knew Jamiesons stats HAD to peter out a bit. No modern player in the games history has maintained that sort of average over any length of time. I say modern player because of all the guys ahead of him on the all time list SF Barnes retired most recently…..the only one last century in fact in 1914 with 189 wickets at 16.43. obviously batsmen scored fuck all in those days, part of the reason WG Grace is so revered despite averaging under 40.
Jamieson went into this match at 16.03 but is currently 17.42.

Wagner looks dangerous with the old ball for two overs so of course give the new ball to Southee who has taken bugger all wickets with his last 5 new balls.
This is Wagner time. Dead pitch, comfortable batters. Bring the rage

With a lead of 150+ and half a day
That sounds like a path to victory for Bangladesh
A their run rate they would need one and a half days.
NZ bowled terribly had so many DRS calls go against them (rightly, but they can just as easily go the other way) and the Bangles tail starts at 8. 400 becomes 150 very quick.
I've seen our 90s and 00s side back up a good first innings with a complete shocker many times.
