315-6. Ronchi caught behind off Anderson for 31.0
-
Too many already for England to chase.
Their crap bowling display yesterday morning made this lead 50 more than it should have been.

Close of play. 338-60

Cam only see a NZ win from here0

Back to the three basics for England so far as this test is concerned .. can't bat (with two notable exceptions), cant bowl, and can't field .. make it a round four .. can't catch0

Let's hope the weather doesn't spoil the game, as potentially England face a massive run chase/survival exercise and I don't want us saved by the weather after what has been such a good mini series0

I think that's a bit harsh but I do worry what the Aussies will do if NZ can find our weaknesses. IMHO, the weaknesses are:Lincsaddick said:Back to the three basics for England so far as this test is concerned .. can't bat (with two notable exceptions), cant bowl, and can't field .. make it a round four .. can't catch
1) No bowler that can keep an end quiet
2) No decent spinner
3) Too many batsmen in the key positions out of form0 -
Root takes a good catch off Anderson to dismiss Watling for 120.
NZ 368-70 -
Weren't saying that a week ago, when Cook,Buttler,Stokes,Ali all got good runs - shows how fickle England fans are.thai malaysia addick said:

420-7
20 from Broad's last over. N Z have scored 82 in just 12 overs this morning.
England will now have to score more runs than other team to win a Test.0 -
Southee goes 0,4,6,4,4,2 off a Broad over ... ouch!0

Might as well give up and go home now! I've turned over to Murray at the French Open...0

Virtually five an over for 91 overs shows how easy they've made it look.1

Our toothless bowling is going to really cause us a battering against Oz. An ageing fast attack with no spinner who can hold an end up. Prepare for the worst.2

Assuming there's no rain, we only need to score at three an over to win ;-)2

32-0 at lunch0

44-0 and rain has stopped play. Lyth 24* (29) & Cook 18* (49). Cook starving Lyth of the strike.Addick Addict said:Assuming there's no rain, we only need to score at three an over to win ;-)

Starving Lyth of the strike, sack him1

You want to hope that Lyth isn't out next because Ballance and Cook between them could bring a whole new meaning to the word "starvation".Leuth said:Starving Lyth of the strike, sack him

Bell and Ballance are not setting the world alight at the moment. You want numbers 3-5 in consistent form, otherwise I fear the Aussie openers will rip through us enough times.The_President said:

The infinitesimal chance of England going for this target has vanished with the rain break. All about balls faced nowAddick Addict said:
