OH YES STUART!

whats going on?? needed this

Can't blame the bowlers if we lose

Terrific fightback from England, I'm sure we will still lose but we might make a decent fist of it.

Oh it's nailed on, probably 170 odd all out

After being 120-2.

120-2

If only!

Oh captain my captain

Oh former captain my former captain

Plus ca change... Root dragging the team home with a bit of help from Stokes.

Well, done alright so far

Baited breath mind

Rooooooooot

Pure class from Root

Phew!

Wonderful, with a bit of good luck thrown in.

Saw the cloud cover and properly expected them to be skittled for not very much. Root likely to pass Gavasakar and Younis Khan in this series.

Never in doubt. (lol).
Good to finally get a test win though.

That's papered over some cracks/crevasses in the England top order. Bowling looking a bit better for the post Anderson/Broad era, Potts seems good, shame most of the other bowlers ar einjured.

Bit of a contrast from the last match. Shame about Williamson. Shaping up to be a tactical affair here, I think. Looks a very flat deck.

Well, err, eurgh

I'm scared of posting when NZ get a good start, because it might trigger a collapse. No swing and nothing off the pitch so far so maybe we'll get to 5 days this time.

And there's a wicket...

One brings two...

Fucking hell

You should post more often when they get a good start!
