They've managed to come up with a test wicket!

You mean one where anything other than a draw will have come because of declarations?

I picked a good match to forget to listen to.

Imagine being in the crowd watching that!

The beauty of Test cricket. Things look so different after day 2 compared to day 1.

It will come as no surprise to anyone that England are collapsing like a house of cards. Bethell, Root and Smith already back in the hutch and they still haven’t avoided the follow on.

Seems to be a lot more in the wicket today.

Bit odd going for a DRS when the player gets hit on the top of the thigh pad / box and all your teammates are saying high.

Yes, a wasted review there. In the end it was only a couple of inches over the top but it showed that initial doubts were correct.

They did the same in the last test, when Rew was hit in the box.
The review gave him out, as he was crouching.

Good thing our collapse isn't as bad as this bunch of clowns:

Is the England kit sponsored by Daz? The NZ kit feels more traditional in it’s shade but looks almost dirty in comparison

Collapse update: NZ have now lost their last 10 wickets for 90 runs.

Archer bowling very well.

I've watched, and loved cricket for years. Nothing can top the absolute ramble of TMS when nothing is happening.

It's a thing of absolute beauty.

Which leads me to how I feel about this match.

And matches involving New Zealand in general.

Australia, South Africa, India and Pakistan are naturally despised.

New Zealand and Sri Lanka? Less so.

I'd have them as my second team ahead of Scotland any day.
