Stuart Broad a Forest fan. Well how about that then? Doesn't sound like one.

It sounds odd because they've been thoroughly mediocre most of the time he's been alive. Maybe his dad's a Forest fan young Stuart was regularly taken to see them play.

Only saw bits of the first session but Stokes was great with the ball yesterday. Has always had the big booming inswinger, but was also bowling one with seam pointing to leg that wouild hit the seam and deck away, as with the wicket ball to Young. And then was bowling genuine outswingers too, as with the ball to take Mitchell's edge when Root dropped him. All the skills.

The other two had also performed really well in the Plunket Shield before their selection, whereas Beacewell had a terrible Plunket Shield season last year (great T20 season mind you). Seems he was also picked as a spinner because he turned a couple in an ODI against those renowned players of spin from the Netherlands.

What did Cole McConchie do wrong? Averages about the same as Macewell with the bat but much better with the ball. Similar age (30) and bowled well in T20s in Bangladesh.

I do think McConchie has a bit less with the bat tbh. Still keen to get Glenn Phillips back into the side in this type of role though.

Anyway perfect time for M Bracewell's debut innings.

I think NZ have worked out that there's nothing to fear from England here. Probably aiming to declare in the middle of the final session when they've reached 550. I suspect that's the last we'll see of Leach for a while.

I don't think Leach has bowled that badly during the bits I've watched. They're about to ruin his figures though.

Tough choices for Stokes here. He's not used to bowling large numbers of overs, Leach is being mullered, the two oldies have already sent down 22 overs and the lad in his 2nd test is currently wicketless and expensive. My talk of them reaching 550 by the middle of the final session is looking really unfair to NZ. 600 up by 5.00pm unless England find a way to take some wickets.

Root? No Dan Lawrence though - he looked pretty decent in the Windies

Bevan Congdon Profile - Cricket Player New Zealand | Stats, Records, Video

Read about Bevan Congdon cricket player from New Zealand profile, stats, rankings, records, videos, photos at ESPNcricinfo
www.espncricinfo.com www.espncricinfo.com
Bev Congdon was one of the finest allround cricketers ever produced by New Zealand, and was a model professional both on and off the field. Congdon was a technically correct batsman with tremendous powers of concentration - as evidenced by his back-to-back big hundreds against England in 1973 - but was also able to play in a cavalier manner when the occasion demanded. He supplemented this with sound fielding and medium-pace in and outswingers. He led New Zealand with distinction to their first Test win over Australia (after putting Australia in), and but for dropped catches would probably have recorded a momentus win over England at Lord's in 1973. Unlike many, he thrived on the captaincy and his batting seemed the better for the responsibility. Under his tenure New Zealand emerged from Test cricket's perennial losers into a side to be respected.
