Fantastic.

Haven’t seen any play today, but what a fitting way to break Rossco’s record.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

26 hundreds is insane. Legend.

How about kallis 45 test hundred and Sachin 95 score of international 50's excluding t20I format

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Blundell test average 45 +‹‹ i liked him more than many asian batsman. He click always when it matter most just like BJW

So the key to combatting Bazball is to bat time. England scored so fast they they’ve currently bowled 191 overs and batted 87. 68.7% of the match in the field. Over a longer series this could destroy their bowlers …

Reckon we're in some strife here.......top effort by NZ today and yesterday.

The way Brook's been batting, you guys are favourites until he's out IMO.

How’s about Phil ‘the power’ Taylor’s record in professional darts. Outstanding.

Should give him a trundle to see if he has the knack of taking wickets as well as bludgeoning runs.

There's a part of me that thinks that NZ would actually benefit from being bowled out around 5:15 for about 500ish. After spending 2 and a half days in the field England will be at serious risk of an exhaustion collapse.

Well, 423/5 has a nicer ring to it than 123/5

423/5 @Flem274*

That's the thing about being 123/5 etc etc

Edit: you're only 3 runs away from 423 if you don't know your base tens

Looks like a great finish coming up tomorrow, feels like NZ still need at least another 150.

blundell hive get up stand up and stay winning

41 overs left in the day - 320 lead at the close seems doable providing these two hang in there. Bat for an hour tomorrow morning and hopefully set England 380 and see if they want to try for a Bazball win.

Exciting finish regardless from here now I think.

What a gem he's been for NZ. If NZC could get their **** together there still are some serious players available.
