I think before dropping Ballance they will likely consider a reshuffle with him and Root swapping positions.

Root's averaging 90 batting at 5 since 2014, why move him?

I see that argument, but I think they'll see that as less of a risk than bringing in someone new.

Stokes was wank at 7 before though, and Buttler was always left 20* when he was at 8.

As if to demonstrate my point! If he can't judge a leave when it's going straight, how will he cope with Harris and Starc swinging it round corners?

Kane looks like he is constantly bowling no balls, I feel this might be over in 10 overs.

Brilliant test match cricket from New Zealand. No moaning about ipl, lack of warm up games and under cooked after losing the first game.

Pretty much won the game in 4 days going at nearly 5 rpo.


It's a shame this is only a 2 test match series!

Stokes' heroics in the first test had paved over the cracks, a front line spinner was needed in this game
