Stokes and bairstow need to get a shifty on late morning and go into nuke mode. We are going to need plenty to bowl them out in this.

That's why you really always need a spinner, you have to back the team to get enough runs have then have something to get them out with

Leach bowled pretty well and looks like he can turn it 'in he right area'

I get the sense that Vince is a supremely gifted ball-player but is lacking a bit upstairs-I think that paddle-sweep with a leg-slip said it all! Hope I'm proved wrong because I enjoy watching the guy bat.Bumble seems to rate him and Nasser was talking him up so what do I know

This wicket is offering nothing. New ball is the only hope for wickets

Was great fun amongst the Barmy Army today in that last half hour, you could tell the players were appreciating the support which is great.

Tough ask for the bowlers tomorrow considering there's no way they're going to get 98 overs in from a 10:30am start

Funny when you pick a proper spinner he actually gives Root control. Unlike Moeen with his pies

Yes absolutely and that wicket was it

Game over and a great effort from NZ to last the day

I posted yesterday we need plenty of time to get the wickets

Great stuff. Light fading and everyone round the bat. Like the end of a traditional Sunday game. All that was missing was a colt coming out to save the game... then cider and a BBQ.

England fan but well played NZ!
