    Bmac?

    Didn’t get his as keeper did he?

    Nope, all as a specialist batsman, free of the significant additional mental and physical fatigue of keeping wickets.

    To answer this, BMac got 185 vs Bangladesh at Hamilton in 2010 so BJ has broken that record for a NZ wicketkeeper.

    The other outrageous stat is that Watling has batted 16 h 16 min between test dismissals.

    we were talking about doubles not daddy centuries - Bmac got all his as a specialist

    @Chris-B Turner was the captain between Congdon and Burgess.

    It would have to be Dempster or Donnelly. Agree it would be Jones of the modern era.

    Based on test runs it is Astle or Watling. Of the old-timers, Donnelly or Dempster for average.

    Hadlee never captained NZ in a test either.

    I know. I just posted BMac's highest score as a wicketkeeper/batsmen.

    Stokes dragged on. I think we need at least another one this session.

    I think 1/2/4 wickets per session is do-able, but it's asking a lot to get five in the last session with Denly, Pope and Buttler to get through - and Curran, Archer and Broad all able to hold a bat.

    And Wagner clips Denly on the gloves caught behind given on review - here we go, here we go.

    Would be great to get one more before tea!

    Agreed.

    I was thinking this morning that the target would have been two wickets a session with 3 in the third. England would have given themselves a 'budget' of one in each session.

    Got number two for the session! Denly caught behind off Wags.

    Speaking of good catches - Santner takes a screamer to remove Pope.

    Wags doing the job for us yet again. Is he the most underrated bowler in test cricket at the moment? It feels like everyone always writes him off as 'just' short stuff, like any batsman worth his salt won't be troubled by him at all. Yet match after match after match he breaks down teams with the old ball doing exactly what they were expecting.

    I don't know about that, it utterly deceived Pope.

    The other thing about the catch was that Santner took it with his right hand.

    This is what the English get for rejecting the Pope in 1532...
