Your foxcricket link works outstandingly well on my friend's PC but not on his laptop or iPad. He uses screen mirroring to watch on the big screen tv. He is very happy.

Southee is still a fine test bowler.

Your wicket, squire
I shit you not, I just went and had an early lunch, I come back and we've taken two wickets. I still haven't seen a wicket in this match.

The BC bowlers are maintaining great line and length, even Wagner who has bowled almost nothing short and bouncer-like. They are all making the batsmen play a lot of balls.

Without wanting to be presumptuous, should the Black Caps enforce the follow on?

Just discussing that with Daughter, would depend how fresh the bowlers feel I think. If they don't would think there would need to be declaration by tea tomorrow?

62 overs bowled, you'd have to think the follow on is a real option?

CC must have stepped out of the room as the Blackcaps strike again.

Great bowling performance from the pacemen. One thing that would irk me if I were a spectator at the ground is the incessant music that blasts between every over :roll:

Yep you bang on. I just wasn't sure how much time Williamson would want. I must admit to not watching enough cricket to have it worked out properly, as I only watch Kiwi test as a rule these days.

It looked as if the ball touched the ground through his splayed fingers.

Yup, anyone who argues otherwise isn't paying attention. His second wicket was just about the perfect nicked-behind outswinger.

Shouldn't be near a full strength ODI or T20 team, but no shame in being a test specialist.

Bravo chases a wide-ish ball from Wagner, SOuthee at 2nd slip says thanks.

Rain or boundary count back are always a fear.

An absolutely lethal inswinging yorker from Jamieson and the Windies are effectively 53/6 (Dowrich won't be batting in this innings either)

Holder gone (third time lucky). It looked like he may have known the invincibility cheat for a while there.

Quite a contrast in the batting approach of the two skippers.
