    Does anybody find that little smirk that is permanently on the face of Mark Craig irrationally irritating?

    I think he has one of the most punchable faces in world cricket, although that may have something to do with the double wicket maiden.

    If we were 2-1 against Australia and clinging on for a draw at the final test. then I'd welcome the rain delays, but in this series I want England tested. Players like Bell need to show they're mentally tough enough to survive long periods against a good attack, as his last few innings have been all over the place

    Yup, the England batsmen were tested... and most failed...

    We'll do well to get out of jail here. You need 3, 4 and 5 to be in form at test level.

    As mentioned on BBC, people talking about dropping Bell have forgotten how long Cook got between centuries.

    Another 50 for Cook.

    And Cook also reaches 9000 test runs. Great achievement.

    And now he's given out LBW, he reviews it but it looked out live.

    Cook given out LBW. He reviews it but it only confirms his departure. Out for 56.

    141-6

    Buttler 19* (44)

    Williamson now has figures of 2-3 with the prize wickets of Stokes and Cook.

    Ali "shoulders arms" and is bowled by Henry.

    153-7

    England have been pressurised and they are folding like a pack of cards. Ali now out.

    Hales or Taylor or both will be in the team by the Ashes I think.

    Best to get the Aussies over-confident.

    Broad chops on a ball to Williamson who now has figures of 6-1-6-3. He only comes on to break partnerships and of course we like to oblige.

    200-8 Buttler 38* (94) and likely to be left stranded yet again.
  • Addick Addict
    Addick Addict Posts: 39,792
    230-8 and 28 overs to go

    Buttler now on 56* (118) which is actually a fraction short of his current Test average. Wood 17* (31)

    Partnership of 42

    Can anybody remember how many overs Anderson and Moeen Ali batted out last summer at Headingley v Sri Lanka?

    I remember him facing 50 odd balls for no run so must have been something a little similar to this.

    Thanks.

    But you have got to look at Ballance's stats. Because it is all about stats.His batting average is coming down quicker than Jordan's knickers.

    Ballance out for Rashid, Anderson up to three and then we get another spinner :-)

    1000 test runs for Jimmy. :-)

    We got everything we deserved from this match. ( 10th wicket just gone) Well done New Zealand, richly deserved win.

    IMO Cook will never make a test captain.
