He is.

I was suggesting that Archer should be there instead.  Allegedly the guy can bat, but he certainly hasn't shown it.

I’m a 100 per cent sure Leach is the right player for us..he can hold an end to give control to Root, get wickets when it’s turning and stay there with a decent technique and temperament in the lower order for the likes of Butler.

Broad totally gone after getting hit in the face which is not nice as some of us know...but his bowling is actually getting better, he was outstanding in the Ashes.

With paper talk of Mo coming back for SA, I hope Leach does not give way for him

Leach is a decent bowler. It’s a shame all the other rubbish last summer took people’s attention away from that fact, and he became a bit of a joke figure. Hopefully he’ll let his bowling do the talking from now on.

Moeen shouldn’t ever play Test cricket again. He’s mentally weak and lacks the guts to show up when it’s not going his way

Torn over the SS stickers looking great but also being a disgraceful copyright infringement.

Over, lunch & bed!

Still fairly evenly poised for my money. Let's see what state the game is in come tomorrow morning.

Crikey. What an awful wicket. No wonder Kane Williamson scored a truckload ofruns there domestically.

Kane hasn't score many runs there. He never plays at the Bay Oval.

First test wicket and the curator probably wanted to keep it safe. I agree though pretty tough to get a result on it.

Great fight back from NZ after day 1. Lead of 150 would be decent

I know everyone says (and rightly so) that the 1st thing Silverwood has to address is our batting but Root's captaincy has to be on the agenda as well. I really can't believe Archer didn't start this morning. He hit Nicolls on the head the night before, the last person he wants to see running in again is Archer, but Root gives the ball to our 2 slowest seamers.

Broad again has been woeful overseas, lacking any sort of threat at all.

I find Curran is the most interesting of all though, if he plays you have to give him the new ball as he is a swing bowler. Broad automatically gets the other end due to reputation etc... that leaves our quickest (and possibly best) bowler at 1st change.... ummmm.

Genuine question.... does Curran's selection inhabit Root's ability to captain?

England should be picking the three best seam bowlers, not picking bowlers on batting ability.

Curran is barely bowling 80mph, he should go hit the gym and make himself a yard quicker. All he has to do is have good look a Boult.

That said Archer set his stall out before the series even started by complaining that the kookaburra ball gets soft too quickly. Not exactly the attitude you want from the spearhead.
