Should be an intriguing third day coming up. If England bat anything like, they could be under 100 runs behind NZ by the close, this is presuming we bat all day. A lot of overs in store for Patel and Vettori. I sincerely hope we are a little more positive against them, difficult I know, as they are two very good bowlers, but not world-beaters.
Where as Cook, Vaughan and Strauss are likely to play them from the crease, I expect Bell, KP and Colly to advance down their track and attempt to upset their rhythm.
Very disappointed yesterday with the excellent partnership of Taylor and Vettori. Taylor was very good throughout, will be kicking himself with his dismissal. Quite a comical cackle from KP as he was catching it though.
Vettori, I think, is not at all enjoyable to watch but exceptionally effective at number 8. His average of over 40 in the last 23 Tests or so, is testament to his style of playing within his strong areas. Cutting the ball, the odd drive and working it off his legs.
Sidebottom a small reward at the end finishing with a 4 for. Harmison again poor. If England wanted a bowler to run in and bowl low 80's, they would pick someone that does more with the ball and is a hell of a lot more accurate. He perhaps has one innings to save his tour.
Big day for Englands batters, they must be up for the challenge.
