Ooh it's exciting from first ball.

Glove first.

Pretty negative this... Stokes and Wood have overs in them, and Anderson has only bowled 23 overs in the match..... surely part time spin from both ends is exactly what new zealand want to be playing against?

Was Stokes last spell only 2 overs or 3?

242 the lead, getting very dangerous now...particuarly with Ronchi still to come....one of the quicks has to be bowling here...McCullum will tuck in here..

now they're both past 50... McCullum's from 79 balls, been a good knock from him, and the ever reliable Watling

Doesnt need to tuck in, all he is doing is crashing the bad ball and rotating the strike. Its sensible batting for the first time this series from NZ.

Yes, almost shockingly sensible batting.

I eat my words.

This is painful.

McCullum past 6000 test runs, didn't realise he is now New Zealand's 2nd leading all time run scorer in tests.... :salute

Ross Taylor is 5th!

by **Aidan11** » Sun May 31, 2015 6:07 pm

We might as well get Ian Bell on to bowl.

by **The Waugh Twins** » Sun May 31, 2015 6:13 pm

The wicket is looking very dodgey.

Didn't England win the toss? Surely they should have batted first.

by **sussexpob** » Sun May 31, 2015 6:17 pm

Mo Ali has bowled 11 overs in this spell.... has Cook gone mad?

by **Aidan11** » Sun May 31, 2015 6:20 pm

At last.

by **sussexpob** » Sun May 31, 2015 6:20 pm

Played Brendan.... England need another 1 at least, if not 3 plus to get back into this

by **The Waugh Twins** » Sun May 31, 2015 6:21 pm

Good bowling, but yet again in this series England get a favourable decision on the field. Looking at the side view of that hitting the pad it looked to be going over.
