Been batting pish, feel they'll get more out of Stokes and Buttler higher up the order, want him to focus more on his bowling.

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

I love hoe this thread was active when we was 4 down. Yet while fighting back and on top it all goes quiet??


Great days for root downwards in the order. Maybe him and stokes should have kicked on. But they've given us a great foundation and a score to win the game from here with.

Dissapointing to lose Buttler last ball of the day, hopefully the tail can put up a bit of a fight now to support Ali, presumably Wood will come out before Broad.

What a day of test cricket.  So much for the hit and giggle stuff.

Incidentally, aren't the Kiwi's a wonderful advertisement for the game?  Great, inventive attacking cricket with a smile and a really genuine attitude to the fans and press?

Not the result I was looking for when I went to bed at 4/30 but that's a great result for Eng considering, I'm guessing from the comments we keep attacking fields all afternoon in search of the break through?

Congratulations to England after what looked like a horror start, they really pulled it back.

There is hope for us yet, and reasons to be cheerful!

Jarrod Kimber being much more eloquent than me about BMac & NZ:

They will attack again tomorrow. They will attack again the day after. The Test after. That is what they do. Tomorrow, they just have to do it better.

New Zealand where made to look very average by some great counter attacking batting all the doom mongers where are they.

A day doesn't make a summer but my prediction is still intact.

I will tell you this as well I it swings like it did today i expect ENGLAND to mop them up and quick

As for Root I hold my hands up he looks like he is playing a different game to everybody else outstanding and as for Stokes did you really doubt him

Ali best number 8 in test cricket hell maybe things are looking up boring ENGLAND Hey !!!

Great to see the positive approach England is this Farbrace mentality? Anyone else notice although green don't think it did anything off the seam.

There were a lot of spaces to hit the ball for a large part of the day.

But encouraging.
