Let's not get silly here.

He takes his share of tap with the white ball but can certainly see some potential with the red.

He ought to be MOTM here (assuming it plays out as roughly expected), but no doubt it will be Brook despite being dropped 5 times.

Fantastic stuff from us.

We look set to retain our record of winning the first test of every away series under Baz

That's what a strike bowler like Woakes will do for you.

He's done a lot better than I think most England fans expected. Looks a Test standard player already.

Looks like the best number 10 in the world as well

Nice surprise getting up and seeing how things stand

it would appear an England win but I’m not totally comfortable until we get the 10th wicket

 

[Athlai]

We have enough runs

 

[King Kane]

We have enough runs

With a lead of 4 runs? Are you mad? I would want to get to a lead of at least 40 runs before we think about declaring and that is a long way off.

 

[BazBall21]

Carse really impressive, a contender for Man of the Match surely.

They'll give it to Brook due to weight of runs but I'd give it to Carse.

 

[trundler]

If Carse gets a fifer he could get MOTM.

Suspect Brook gets it but I hope Carse does.

Weight of runs shouldn’t count when you’re dropped 5 times!!

 

[BazBall21]

Doubt they will take that into account, but that is part of why I think Carse's performance has been more impressive.

 

[FBU]

With these figures hope he is. There is also his batting

Carse was banned most of the English summer due to betting on cricket not involving Durham

fortunately that was not going to prevent him playing the last two series

wonder if an all Durham pace attack will happen at test level. Stokes, Wood, Potts and Carse

we also have a young kid called McKinney who is a very promising opening batsman

Without checking, I think three of those made up an all Durham pace attack on one occasion in Pakistan last month. Of course, we only played three quicks there alongside the two spinners, both from Somerset if I remember right.

Kiwis have given this test away

 

[Fuller Pilch]

We've really thrown away an extremely winnable test due to stupidity and the inability to catch a cricket ball. Unbelievable
