[andy]

I didn't see the evening session I had training what time did they finish haha?

[andy]

NZ cruising on 383-5 blundell gone past 150 foxcroft on 49

[Arthur Crabtree]

Blundell in a double hundred partnership then a hundred partnership.

I've got him in my EvNZ FL team, but he's getting all his runs in the wrong series.

[andy]

Declaration must be due soon I would have thought surely have a bowl before lunch

[andy]

Reuben Wilson gets his first test wicket having had blundell dropped the ball before he falls for 186

[Arthur Crabtree]

Well done Blunders.

NZ should declare at 500, given it's a 4 day game.

Should see Foxcroft to his ton on Test debut.

I see he's another South African Kiwi.

[Arthur Crabtree]

He'll never get another chance to make a ton on debut.

Well, almost certainly.

[andy]

Ireland are 84-6! Nathan Smith has 5-28!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Were 38-6! Something of a recovery though.

[andy]

50 for McBrine!
