*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

First session we have won in 2 days. Well played.

Need to win the next one too and the one after that.

Hope the rain stays well away as it will help the bowlers if cloud arrives.

Agreed would prefer the sun to come out rather than a chance of rain.

Well I thought there was a mark as it passed the bat but umpire obviously didn't. My jerky picture not good enough for those real tight ones though.

Tucker said he saw the little noise on snicko, but on frame-by-frame picture was clear that ball slid past the inside edge without touching, and then Tucker said that he had no clear evidence that bat hit ball.

Was there no hotspot BTW?

I do like Holdings reaction to Gower's "how great was that bowling spell" sky hyperbole.

"They were OK"

Root just 102 runs away now

Holding was always great at being the more measured voice in the commbox.

Away from what? I haven't been on this thread for a couple of days.

Would love to watch Root and Kane bating together, would be great to watch.

Yeah, this Test could end in a tame draw but it has been a classic in that the every 'next session' is key. You get the feeling that each 2 hour session could hold the fate of the game.

If anybody wants to join Howe and myself on commentary, VM me your skype details.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

this was a really annoying session because we really didn't do anything wrong (bar Craig sending down a few pies). Southee, Boult, and Henry all bowled exceptionally, and Root and Cook responded equally well.

It was suggested, accurately in my opinion, that the over/under for Root is around 160

Join us on comms cricketweb is on Mixlr. Mixlr is a simple way to share live audio ...

Tough decision. I have rugby practice in an hour and had planned to pop into work for a couple of hours to finish some stuff or I could use the Sunday to sit on my backside and watch the cricket.

Cricket it is

I think as England go then so do I. If they lose 3 wickets in the next half an hour then I will find ways to be productive. Otherwise I will make a dent in the sofa watching Cook and Root.

FMD get Craig off. England going to be leading by 200 by tea time at this rate.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Craig being rubbish has hurt NZ a lot.

 

[Meridio]

We're giving up runs far, far too easily. For anyone watching - are we just bowling trash, is there nothing in the pitch and the ball's not moving, or is our field placement too attacking? England absolutely cruising at the moment.

 

[Moss]

This is slipping away from NZ. If Craig isn't taken off soon he better have a couple of wickets (jammy or otherwise) to show for his efforts.
