Its been an incredible Test so far. Advantage the Craps still.

If they can see off the new ball relatively unscathed then they have an age to get the runs. All that effort from the Blundell and Mitchell could be for nothing.

Nice attempt to invoke the mockers gods.

Don't blame the cricket, it's you that ruins sport for the rest of us.

Why?

This now ranks as one of those questions whos answer is "Because"

Are the missing words "we would struggle to pick a Test attack otherwise"?

I don't think one partnership changes old man Jimmy getting 4-66 in the first innings at Lord's

Red card for that early attempt at the mockers. NZ mimicking Eng's ability to collapse this morning.

Seemingly so with current injuries but the point remains that Eng's test side is not working and Anderson is at the end of his career. At some point, a rebuilding exercise has to commence.

Total control? 7 sessions to go - 178 needed, 6 wickets in hand and at the crease one of the best batters in Test cricket partnered with one of the most destructive. I would rather be where NZ are - but we are allowed to be a bit concerned aren't we?

No, Stokes can blitz or Root can grind but if other players don't step up we still lose

At the moment you won't need anyone else to step up.

Stokes has had a blitz and is now out trying a ramp shot to a bouncer.

Congrats NZ.
