Is the NZ XI an official team? If not, perhaps this was an opportunity to select Conway.

Why??? He cannot represent NZ. Why let him use up a spot?

Who is Conway?

A pom playing cricket for Wellington. Quality season last year mostly at 3

I don't think that many in the team are realistic chances to make the NZ side either so it was just to have a look at him to see if all the praise was justified.

Conway is from SA but is 28.

Take that you English bastards!

Slaughtered by Colin Munro!!! Great stuff Munners - setting just the right tone at the first opportunity!

Are we even now?!!!

great Colin has scored his seasons runs already, before a real game has started...

England looks to have changed their team around as ginga Bairstow got plenty of runs in the 1st game.

Looks close enough to me for the benefit of the doubt to be given to the batsmen.

You've just summed up VAR

@Hooroo Shame they weren't around forty odd years ago. That would have seen a complete rewriting of record books, particularly for the visiting cricket teams in India and Australia (and occasionally NZ!) and rugby teams in South Africa (not to mention Cardiff Arms Park in 1905)
