I was going to sit on the fence but I'm going to say we'll win this now. NZ batting collapse after tea.

Think we'll need to be bowled out ourselves in order to have a chance to win.

Firstly, it will mean we have enough time to take 10 wickets and, secondly, it could show that the pitch & conditions are bowler friendly.

Bat until lunch and then declare?

It's hard to say how the Kiwis are going to bat in the second innings, given the example set by their captain in the first innings....

Twitter is full of Trevor Bayliss being the next coach.

Is it just the 90 overs today, or are they still catching some up?

by **Aidan11** » Mon May 25, 2015 11:13 am

Lead past 300 now.

Cook opening up now.

If England want to win, then a declaration in the next 5 overs would be the way...

nice positive cricket here from England.

Heading for a deceleration. should not need a lead over 350.

Most of that was from last nights last overs. Where no intent was shown to push the game.

Most people seems happy with that though, as it means England cant loose and can still win the series at the next test. Maybe I have just got used to following Australia, but my take would be that if England win this test then they can't loose the series in the next test.

The difference between Pom's and a Aussie's maybe :rasta

Cooks finally gone, and a great innings from him. Its set up England, virtually made them safe and has given them a chance for Victory. He seems to have found some form.

Broad needs to get his mojo back.
