Daylight saving in NZ ended Saturday night. Hence the start times for days 3/4/5 in this test have been moved 30 minutes earlier to 10:30am.
Bit silly to be playing a cricket test this late in the season if you ask me, but the weather has been decent the last few days, so I guess they got it right.

The rain, it raineth every day
Australia only 523 runs behind South Africa with 7 wickets left. Close finish in prospect.
CYA.
Decent start for England. 2 wickets off the first two balls.
66/3. Williamson and Taylor both out.
91/4.

Slipped away sadly, we just need to go with wicket takers. Still think we can get away with patient bowling displays, but they're not good enough. Never bowl at the stumps, being used as an ornament again.

Really need an averhaul after this. I would say it's time to look to the future and get rid of cook, Broad and Anderson, but I'm a bit sceptical of getting rid of the two bowlers seeing as whoever we bring in can't do anything.
We need new coaches though, they can't bowl at the bloody stumps and the batting team suffers a massive collapse every two games, they're not exactly stockpiling the team with players who aren't the best to choose from.

Bet the lads are glad it's all over.

Thought I heard Andy Jacobs say they were there for 27 weeks. Not all of them, but still. Stupid planning.

Mad isn't it. Surely they could have had the NZ tour next season maybe, as a three or four test series between NZ and England would have been much more interesting. Stating the obvious, but a two-test series doesn't allow the side who lost the first test a chance to come back and win.
