    India need to win 3-1 to guarantee their place in the world test championships...

    Kind of brutal how as NZ's golden age wanes, they'll clearly be reduced to an absolute shell of a side which the bigger nations bully remorselessly. Not much coming through at the younger levels

    It took two months to wean him off Nabby.

    Why, because they didn't deal with spin in India?

    We've still got to get Smith and Labuschagne out cheaply etc.

    Hopefully Smith will be Sussexized by his spell in Hove

    Won't be down to the ECB, it's an away series, it'll be whoever NZ have sold the rights to

    On BT Sport. Not that the time zone is exactly convenient  :D

    Sold out to Amazon = bad because you don't have it

    Sold it to sky = OK because you do?

    Damn. I have both Sky & Amazon Prime. BT Sport I can pay £10pm via one of the kids EE accounts. First test kicks off at 1am thought so might give that one a miss  🙂

    It's hardly the sort of series TV companies will be fighting over, being overnight. Plus there's the cyclone...

    I’d be very surprised if the Test started on Thursday given that the whole area is under a state of emergency at the moment - heavy rain and wild winds

    It's also a "friendly" series, outside the World Test Championship. Hopefully WTC series will have more cachet in future and all those series will be televised and optimised for away team consumption.

    The 1st Test is also a day night Test, making it worse for the UK audience. 

    The 2nd Test, starting at a normal time, starts at 10pm UK time, so at least the first session is watchable.

    As an early riser, not unhappy with the day night stuff!

    The pitch is dry and ready to go.  It’s been a fine day today in Mt Maunganui with the possibility of the odd shower tomorrow (match day).  Remarkable really given the sheer devastation up and down the east coast and up north.

    It will be interesting how Duckett copes opening in seam friendly conditions. A very different test to opening against spinners on the subcontinent

    Ben Stokes said yesterday he hopes to lose the toss!  Probably joking.

    I think winning the toss in a day/night match is a hospital pass.  I don't think he was joking. 

    England bat first scored 350 in the first 50 overs then skittle them under the lights...

    You don't want to start your innings under lights.

    NZ won the toss and elected to field.

    The teams stood to attention, as did the crowd, to remember those who lost their lives during Cyclone Gabrielle and the thousands left homeless.

    We’re underway.  Southee to open the bowling and Crawley edges through the slips for 2.  Four slips and a gulley.

    First ball from the left arm seamer Wagner to Crawley was an absolute beauty and bowled him all ends up between bat and bat.  No ball. Phew.
