Black Caps v England

[bayimports]

well, well, well, second bouncer at a guy on one leg and it gets a wicket, NZ brains trust is severely lacking. how this was not tried earlier is beyond me

[Rapido]

Clutch by Stokes and Root. Stokes has always been a clutch player, though.

Gotta recognize the 'moments' , not roll over meekly after keeping a team out there for 160 overs.

[booboo]

It's baaaack ... the hope ...

[No Quarter]

@Rapido nice work.

Root though, he's untouchable, he will guide England home without even breaking a sweat here.

[Cyclops]

Bloody impressive to score two tons in a test, especially in a serious 4th innings chase. Losing the captaincy suits Root.

[bayimports]

love wags lol

[No Quarter]

We did it!! Got rid of both of them!!

Man Foakes looks solid as a rock though, can't see him getting out.

[Chris B.]

Don't punish yourself guys. It's the hope that kills you

I hear ya, Canefan - like supporting the canes? It's why I watch sport though, you have to care a bit!

What are our chances from here?

They just got better

[bayimports]

You would still back England to win from here..need only 43

I would potentially put away the bouncers now unless they continue to swat at everything

[Canes4life]

Surely we are an 80% chance from here.

modern tail enders can bat - it's T20 and ODI legacy. Fark knows our chances; dpeends how we bowl and field I guess!

[nzzp]

Whatever happens, we can walk away wiht our head held high. Maximum 2 wicket win for England after enforcing the follow on is serious squeaky bum time

only 3 wins by teams after follow on enforced... no chance of a fourth today
