Interestingly poised. If we were 1 down we'd be on top, 2 all square, so 3 puts England ahead.
I know we get carried away, but this post is fair. Not a forward thinking, genuine quality person/professional amongst them.

Imagine a pink duke ball in these conditions.

Worst selected NZ team in 10+ years but we're still in it after day 1.

In the last few tours he's consistently bowled a metre too short

Strongly disagree with that, I'd have said even 35/0 would be square since NZ would still be 300 behind, and the fact we score at about half the rate England do, we wouldn't be much more than 190 going into the last session tomorrow, if we made it that far.
At 37/3, England miles on top.
One saving grace for NZ is this is a 2 and not 3 match series.

A lot riding on Conway here, and probably Blundell too given his good form recently. I think this was a well under par score from England given the wicket, but it's definitely done a lot more under lights... though our bowling attack being so poor probably exacerbated that difference, it looked pretty flat (if slow) during the day. I think it will spin quite a bit later in the test too, so will be interesting with us batting last.

Nicholls is a waste of space at the moment but the form Young has been in don't know if he'd actually make that much of a difference. I suppose one way of dealing with a selection problem is to simply pretend it doesn't exist.]
Have to hope Mitchell and Blundell can repeat their heroics from the last England series, otherwise this isn't looking good. Pretty amazing how much the side has come to depend on Conway across formats.

In terms of the Nicholls dismissal Fleming, Gower, McMillan all seemed to agree it was a good piece of bowling and not much he could have done differently?

See Spark has dumped highlights packages from the 2020/21 and winter 2021 seasons. Shame I was looking forward to strolling through the memories of that brief glorious period when NZ could rest half of their best players and still thump England without breaking a sweat.

This Bazball strategy of “taking several of your opponent’s key wickets cheaply during the first session of their innings” might seems superficially attractive. But you have to wonder whether it’s really good for test cricket…

How come no other team has thought of that?
