CDG has the highest SR of current test players and has had since his debut. The English commentary I'm listening to really rates the NZ batting line up including Southee's ability to score quickly.

I am hoping if we're still batting last session of today there could be some big hitting fireworks

Bugger

[No Quarter]

We are going to want at least 400 here, still a lot of work to do

[canefan]

Wagner should be at 10 instead of Southee

[sparky]

England have dragged themselves back in this game. Not enough support for Conway from the more experienced NZ batsmen.

[Siam]

Big Col only ever looks good going fast. Not sure if it's the pitch or ball to suit that style of batting... All the best bighouse

[booboo]

Fuck off Watling, retire already ...

P.S. I don't really mean that...

[Donsteppa]

I was puzzled by the rush to get the injured mullet back into the side. CDG better perform with the ball, given Matt Henry or last test centurion Daryl Mitchell were other options.

And Kyle Jamieson is well and truly filling that bowling all rounder slot these days.

[canefan]

Someone has to stay with Conway

Stead out!

Santner is a playing foodbill in tests.

[MajorRage]

4 wickets for 6 runs .... right, best do some work / go for a run!

[Billy Tell]

Wouldn’t be NZ cricket without a collapse. The good ol’ times are back!

[Donsteppa]

Conway a decent chance to carry his bat at this rate.

I'd forgotten the disdain I have for him in white. Really really fond of him in black though!

[Siam]

Poms are up and about. Test cricket eh? 24 hours of smug contentment, half an hour later, a familiar dread of unfulfilled potential

[Chris B.]

@siam In the greater scheme of things, I'm inclined to think Santnav making no runs is no bad thing.

Let's see if he can earn his place with his bowling.

But, FFS guys...we nearly had this.

[Donsteppa]

The Conway, Nicholls, and assorted passengers show.

314 for 7 at lunch . England's morning. Game on.

Looks to me about 380-400 pitch. England will be very happy indeed if NZ make less than that. Glad Conway is still there.

Kylo needs to stay there and Conway to make his 200. We can't depend on Timmy for anything with the bat, but Wags has the ability and the determination to be a nuisance for a while. If we can get another 100 that would be great. Anything more will be gravy at this point
