Cook hanging on the back foot to the full ball.

Out to Wagner, but if Southee gets it swinging (which he will do in Auckland) he's going to be gone LBW pretty easily.

Wagner's seam position is such trash. Can't believe a bowler that's made it to international level can't get the seam even slightly upright.

How does Wagner get them to chip it to ring fielders so often? Sold his soul to Satan or what?

Every other ball is an inadvertent slower ball with Wagner, which could be the best slower ball of all. No-one else in world cricket ranges from 145 down to 125 trying to bowl the same thing.

lol this.

I am so conflicted when I see him getting wickets. He tries hard, I have to give him that, but the ball that got Pieterson in the first test is about the only good ball I've seen him bowl.

Quite strange, that would mean that he should be more suited to LO than FC, but he's in the test team only and averages less in first class than in one dayers and twenty20.

Maybe the fact that he looks like the world's biggest midget disturbs the batsmen perspective.

I'm too busy raging about the ****ing shambles of a ticketing system at the ground to even bother with McCullum's ****ty decision making.

Heard the wicket on the radio and thought it was an ad - did Cook really just chip to mid-on?! Disappointed Trott and Compton haven't followed the 'when Cook goes early England collapse' script.

Sounds like both our bowlers and the choice to bowl first have been fairly average so far. And when they do get it right England have been good at missing the fine edge this series.
