Boult looked pretty much unplayable last night. Very impressive new ball bowling.

Well well well... what a start from NZ! 3 wickets in 6 overs - easy pickings.
Let's see if the England bowlers can learn from their counterparts and bowl *Yorkshire accent* bloody line an' length.

That's 3 times in this test that the first ball I see after getting a stream up a wicket falls. Southee getting in on the act with a swinging ball.

England 350 all out – All Square
That lasted longer than I thought it would – England lose Bell, Buttler and Moeem in no time at all – New Zealand bowling well with the ball swinging and jumping a lot - but a flurry of runs in a 50 partnership between Broad and Wood and then Broad and Anderson with 32 runs makes the scores even – Good to see Broad getting a few runs, he has been totally out of sorts following getting hit in the face last year – but New Zealand losing the plot at the end in the same way that England did.
All square – Game on

Game on indeed. Shame Broad didn't get his 50 but way to go.

From cricinfo:
'So, would you believe, the scores a level after first innings. Shall we all start again? Yesterday England would have expected a lead, then this morning New Zealand would have expected one. Hard to say who is the happier team, but the momentum - the favourite word of Jarrod Kimber - after the last 40 minutes is with England. However, from 215 for 1, the visitors will be very pleased. Does that sum it up?'
Everything to play for and about five sessions left.

I used to like him, but Boycott does my head in these days. He's started to believe his own hype.

Only the 8th time a test has been level after the first innings,

Go on then, when were the others? I was trying to think of the last time it had happened but now I know there are 8...
Edit - easier to find than I thought it would be:

Ross Taylor looks just like Ed Milliband.
