I love the way England are playing test cricket,Big credit to them for making this test a classic.
Gutsy effort from the BC great to see after the First Test,So pleasing to see the fight in this test match that was lacking in the first test.
How can you not love Test Cricket.Absolutely its exciting to watch and have always been a fan of an attacking mindset, even happier to win one against them.

What an amazing match.
All time Black Cap win.
What an amazing turnaround from halfway through the test - let alone from test 1.
It’s like it was a completely different set of players from the non-Tom Blundell ones who didn’t front at Bay Oval. Or even from the first innings at the Basin! 😊
Will be interesting to see if it hardens views against the follow on once more, but I think England had little choice given potential bad weather this summer and Bazball.

4th win after following on, second by a run.
Who's your man of the match? Kane for holding together the second innings? Southee for some key wickets and first innings hit out? Wagner for dragging us across the line? Brook or Root for their batting?
You'd have to go Root. 2 x tons.

Root scored more runs, albeit in a losing effort. I'm sure Root is happy to pass on that award

I think I heard on the radio KW got it.
Root deserved it though.

I think it's got to be Williamson. Critical runs, huge partnerships - really made a difference.
Never seen so many edges fall safely, it's been amazing.
well he did get it, so chocolate fish for you! Probably the only thing left you haven't tried to cook/bake

Brook player of series, probably lucky he was runout without facing this morning (from a NZ perspective)

Yeah what a funny test from that perspective. Two stupid avoidable run outs…….( well, I guess all run outs are avoidable )

Haven’t had a chance to comment until now but WHOOP WHOOP. Talk about hanging on in there.
Wagner you hero.

@NTA said in Black Caps v England:
So Bazball is not the answer now?
But Undercover Agent Bazball worked a treat…
A 5th day bowling spell for the ages. A chase that had they scored 2 more runs would’ve been equally impressive given the conditions and the quality of some of the spells.
Glad the test started after 2 and a half days!

So Mrs Boo does the booboo. Wrote them off at 8 down with none to get. Changed the channel and missed it.

Well you know if anyone gets bored and needs a laugh, just go back over the comments and read some of them, BCs can't win, they useless get rid of most of them, and then see the end!!
That is no way a dig at anyone, just it's a good read, we all are experts (and I mean ALL) until we are not.
C'mon a great day for test cricket and cricket in the country, we all get a chance to believe again!!! That is just amazing, and one last question how bloody boring is test cricket??? -
