Black Caps vs England Series
-
The averages tell a bleak story - picking a joint team at this point - Kane for Crawley and Henry for Woakes are the only NZers who make a joint team on form.
Philips is a little unlucky - as is O'Rourke whose average would be better if the NZ catching had been better.

New Zealand will be batting when the pitch is best. Looks like we'll have 2 and a half days to chase 700. Run rate won't be an issue. History making final innings coming up.
Love your optimism

The wind will make bowling on days 3, 4 and 5 difficult.
The key will be surviving the 3rd new ball.

So surely they declare now? Bizarre not to, NZ won't even score 300, but they have the smallest chance of batting out a day and a half.

They’re taking the piss now ( if they weren’t before )
This is entertaining and horrific all at the same time.

That's a weird decision. Is weather thought to be a factor?
Surely the better play would have been to make us toil in the field for another couple of hours.

She’s grey and windy out my way. Rain is on the radar this evening

Conway clean bowled by Woakes for a duck.
The woes just continue for the poor guy, really sad to see.
KW in.

Great decision to have an unchanged team....
Stead isn't known for making big decisions. He and Latham can't justify selecting the same team - again.
