I expected a quality top 6 sans Nicholls to put up a fight

Yep, expected a lot more from our batting which still looks pretty strong aside from Nicholls.

Thanks, when I went to post that I was meaning to specify for England but it got omitted (have had a few beers). Other than Boult's effort I suspect it would be pretty rare for NZ and other sides too. Top order players in theory shouldn't be getting bowled that often.

If anything we exceeded my expectations with the ball.

I'll get back in my box - looks like I was the only one that isn't surprised by what is happening. It's a shame we didn't have the Sri Lanka series first, might have helped get our batsmen in form.
As others have said, hope to see Phillips in the next Test as well.

I think we’ve all gotten used to Southee-Boult taking the game away from the opposition at home, and Wagner/Jaimeson doing the business when they have an off day. This is our first real look at what happens when that combination has broken up, plus an opposition attack made for the pink ball under lights.

I do hope 'trolls' are not bagging our team. Sure things look dire at the moment - shades of the capitulation against Bangladesh at Bay Oval that didn't overly concern anyone - but some doughty fighting by Mitch and Mace should right the ship. Whatever happens, Stead and Larsen and the current coaching group must be allowed to stay on from as long as they like. What we don't need is an injection of fresh thinking and new ideas spreading through the playing group like some sort of uncontrollable virus. Stay calm, stay conservative, don't rock the boat - that's the NZ way.

Exactly, no surprise. Even if some dismissals can look ugly, this English Test side is great to watch. Bat & ball.
