Cook 100!
Anything can happen with a round ball.

Coz we're going up, and we'll win the cup, for Sussex by the Sea!

Well played Cook. Deserved to be dropped before but now hope this ton brings him back to form. Was surprised how long out of form he has been given his achievements in the past.

Back to back 50s for Stokes, playing him up the order seems to be paying off. Flat pitch.

A bit of luck with the ball, and it could have been a fine all-round game for Stokes. Still can be, I suppose.

Great job by England, and IMHO they are already in a winnable position. This test is a great example of how important it is to foresee the possible outcomes. New Zealand didn't value their wickets yesterday after lunch perhaps believing they were in a solid position. Now they can actually lose this test quite easily.

Also this onslaught from Stokes will have folks questioning this Kiwi bowling attack. What an innings though.
