***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

Rutherford playing for turn first up.

By the third ball he's realised Sammy doesn't hold with such fripperies.

Sammy looks to have been enjoying the NZ hospitality too; even tubby than is normal.

NZ should just swing from the hip from here - unlikely to get bowled out and mi****s will go for 6 as often as not

Good innings Rutherford. Not the worst time to lose a wicket with McCullum and Taylor in the shed.

Great over from Wright. NZ really need to keep the pedal down here. They're going to need every bit of 210 imo, England's batsmen will be confident after Auckland.

Not sure why you'd keep Patel on with Wright seemingly bowling well for the 5th spot.

Launched for six as I type, hmm

Filthy first ball from Wright. Mid 120s long hop outside off. I still don't think he is a bowler despite his natural variation of not knowing where the ball is going making him useful in T20
He doesn't even bowl in domestic T20 cricket anymore (I wish he did, don't get me wrong) so I don't know why England keep picking him as a bowling option; he has no real incentive to work on it most of the year given his primary occupation is that of a county cricketer at the moment. Hasn't been too bad today after that first ball tbf but he needs to either start bowling more for Sussex or start bowling less for England. Justifies his spot with the bat alone in this side these days anyway.
