Woakes got a fifty in the second innings too.


But went wicketless, being picked as a bowler.

just scored a ton for Lancs. Perhaps he's realised that a slot may become available this year

Yes, dropping him was right.

I must need my eye testing, because both of those lbws looked stone dead to me in real time.

As much as I'd love to continue watching this classy England batting performance all night, I don't have a bank holiday tomorrow. Bloody Belgians.

Just as I'm reaching for the remote to turn off, Vince goes.

I have a feeling unless something really special happens second dig, that's it for him

Surely. Third time lucky for New Zealand, and yet again, Vince gets about 20 and out. Hard to believe the England management expected anything different.

70/2 at lunch - England would probably have taken that after Auckland, and after being put in.

I cannot believe Stoneman is still there, but he is. So time to make it count!
