Conway just needs to reach 73 to bring up 300 runs for match
The nz record is 343, can anyone guess who holds that record?World record is Graham Gooch with 456 I do know that.
As for NZ I'm going to guess Stephen Fleming. He got a few big double ton.
That’s a bingo, Flem with his 274 an 69 vs Sri Lanka
Both unbeaten too
Is it too soon to talk about scoring a 200 and 100 in the same match -

Is it too soon to talk about scoring a 200 and 100 in the same matchNo cheating I promise. I remember long before the days of the fern having a discussion with a workmate about whether Fleming was class or not, that innings ( and I remember him doing ok in the second too ) backed up my claims. Others have got double tons but generally failed ( or not even batted ) in the second innings so they were ruled out.
Conway seeing it like a beachball, well and truly MOTM, they need to score quick to force a result so hundred for him definitely on.

Only the third time in history the openers have both scored a ton and a fifty in a match ( with Latham bringing up his 50 )
That's a cool stat considering this is test number 2614.
But yeah, tough to see NZs attack knocking these guys over with enough time to force a win.
-
time to start going for records if you cant win, they have one now, if they both get a ton, i suspect thats another

Apparently this is the record for most runs scored by the opening partnership in any test.
Yep it would be.
No disrespect to any number of past NZ gutsy openers but its not an area of the game littered with kiwi greats. I think it's outstanding that the Black Caps have this record.

Devon Conway!
Just the 10th batsman to score a double hundred and hundred in the same testHis resurgence of form is quite frankly outstanding.
Thrilled for him, I thought his career was all but over this time last year.

18 off the over before tea.
Latham has quietly snuck to 80.
@canefan yeah they should get Philips to pad up to come in next for a swing.
Don't want to waste any time getting out there. I want to see us heaps the pressure on. 4 men at least in the slip cordon and a man close in front of the bat. Pour it on

Watching the comms, Bish is huge!
Him, Courtney and ( especially ) Curtley were a menacing bunch for sure.
Ask Ken Rutherford and Mike Gatting. They know
. The golden era of WI quicks was a sight to see. Menacing is right -
