Roots captaincy is woeful.

With Williamson gone and NZ still 209 behind with six middle and later order wickets left, England hold a very definite advantage.

Henry Nichols and the keeper Watling can add a few and de Grandhomme can be dangerous but Santner and tail shouldn't be feared.

England need to establish a lead and take it on. NZ are batting last when the wicket should give some unpredictable and uneven bounce with turn for Leach.

Jack Leach should be promoted up the order, he's certainly looked far more capable than the rest of the tail. Sam Curran is a dangerous bat who didnt come off here but Leach could come in straight after at 9, with Archer 10 and Broad 11. Possibly not three number elevens as Leach has some form now.

Hello mate. lol

Excellent day today, will be back tomorrow. England looked bereft of ideas, despite Broad having a good spell at the end of the day.

Root still out of his depth as a captain.

Are you at the Mount for the cricket? I'm going along tomorrow to catch the 4th day. If you are there we could meet for a beer? Be good to catch up with a fellow Evertonian, not seen many round The Bay of Plenty.

Hope this meet happened.

Game over now for England.

Cracking day of things if you're a kiwi like.

No worries mate not the best of days, beaten by the bottom club and now England have forgot how to play cricket.

Yeah seemed like a flat track until our bowlers got onto it, Boult was looking likely early on before Santner started getting some movement off the pitch.
Didn't realise Santner could bat that well either tbf.

It's like GOT Grindr.

Two possible results today. Seven wickets for New Zealand, or the need to bat pretty much the entire day for England.

Only one result. No way England ever tough it out in this situation.

Pitch still isn't really doing too much. A sensible batting performance should enable them to comfortably see out the day. We'll be hoping that the English cave into the pressure and panic.

I'll bet you a Silva sacking we do.
