Wags has it swinging with a scrambled seam.
Great first over, 2 wicket maiden.

Glad I fell asleep at about 6/80…

What a ridiculous scorecard. Could have really used a 4th bowler huh?

Jesus. Stead really is a boob. Although to be fair Kyle was out and Henry is not a 4th seamer

and CDG is out as well - who's usually our end-stopper.
We'll lose this series because our captains and bowlers can't control the run rate. That's only partly on the bowlers and selections. Scoring 850 runs and losing a test is unacceptable.

For anyone that saw them, was there anything about Mitchell's three overs that would have meant a fourth over was a bad idea? I feel asleep at one wicket down, so missed much of the bowling, but in the scheme of things his economy rate doesn't look massively worse than anyone else...

didn't see the overs, but I can suggest his back was probably sore from carrying the dead weight of the NZ top batting order

Can't be that bad, the top order are lightweights

I wonder what influence Baz with Stokes at the helm is already having, or are we just way below par?
I say that because we've had England on the ropes a few times this series, in fact we've had them basically KO'd we were so far ahead of the game, but they've found a way to fight back and we haven't reacted to it.
55/6 should be pretty much game set and match.
Just feel like the England we knew when we last played them would have rolled over.

You mean like last year ? Me too. Cricket is a funny game.
It’s irritating when someone who was previously a pretty bog standard test batsman like Bairstow plays the house down…..
But then again perhaps that is what Mitchell is doing for us too.

For me this has Baz finger prints all over this, you're right at 55/6 we should have this, but then they accelerate at great pace with nothing to lose, sounds remarkably like a play out of the Bay manual and turn a would be defeat into something completely different
-
So why is Bracewell when Ajaz is in the squad as well? We need attack bowlers and Ajaz can take wickets

He was one of the top batsmen in the world in 2016 - scoring over 1400 runs and almost averaging 60. So we know he can bat. There were a few lean years in between, but he’s found a bit of form this year scoring centuries against Oz, Windies and now us.

Our top order can get fucked.
6 innings batted, how many fifties across them?
Utter dogshit. We either have standard expectations or we don’t.
