people tend to overestimate how many near-chances convert into wickets. It's around 1 in 10.

The England bowlers have bowled better than this scoreline suggests, both Latham and Young have had some luck but they have made the most of it.

0 wickets certainly helps.

Win the toss and bowl and no wickets before lunch. Doesn't happen too offen anywhere. Can't remember the last time off the top of my head.

this is the only time I'm ever going to say this but I hope this is one of those seddon park puddings which saps everyone's will to live before taking turn

There's been plenty of movement off the pitch and through the air and NZ made it through the session unscathed. Potts bowled well after his first spell but poor bowling overall. Latham has been somewhat lucky but Young did pretty well to smother the bounce.

First wicketless session in the entire series. Potts bowled well second spell but in general England been too inconsistent and while the batsmen have had a little bit of luck they haven't been challenged enough times in good areas, Young has 10 boundaries in his 42 which tells a bit of a story

Yeah good gritty cricket. Potts probably the pick of the bunch but I don't think England were consistent enough.

A coincidence that England have lost the session when they don't cheat?
I think not.
Conway's batting average now 36. Didn't realise it had slipped so low - checked statsguru and after 2022-23 season he had 1403 runs @ 50.15. Since then 11 tests, 433 runs @ 19.68.
Add that to his turning down NZ contract (and possible new coach?) and I think you are correct, Conway test career over, suspect Hay then Mariu will move into test squad as reserve batters next season / following season.

I suggested that Conway should be dropped for Young after the first test and it is looking justified now.
Conway wasn't even dropped for this test though so he may still have been playing here and we would probably be at least one wicket down by now..
Young has played a few streaky shots and had some luck but he has also played some good shots too and looks in much better form than Conway is in.
