    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    Hoping for quick three wickets... Hate to see the England tail stick around. I thought England played Potts at 8 and now he's demoted to no 10

    What a shame, Overton well and truly deserved a hundred. Didn't mind him getting to a hundred and getting out

    Now that they've selected him they should back their own decision and bowl him. Really frustrating to see them not even back their own selection. If you selected based out of whatever logic at least back the player.

    Top knock Bairstow. Won't be surprised if he gets to 300. I can't see how we can get him out. The only way to get him out probably is to bowl Bracewell and Bairstow plays a slog and holes out

    We had stopped doing this of late but it's picked up yet again. Playing players out of their designated roles. Trying to make funky selections and hoping for a miracle etc This used to be prevalent in the 90s when they used to pick a bolter out of the blue for an overseas series but at least...

    To put things to perspective if he didn't captain the local domestic side Wellington firebirds likely he would not have bowled an over in first class cricket. It's that level

    All of that chat and rough outside the off and they get Bracewell to bowl around the wicket.

    It was carnage yesterday first Boult with the ball and then the partnership. Wonder what's in store today. Hopefully couple of quick wickets and we bat all day. Still our chances will be slim such is the feel right now. If everything goes our way and we set 400 it doesn't feel like it's safe.

    Daryl Mitchell & Tom Blundell (611) have added the most number of partnership runs for New Zealand during a Test series, passing Martin Crowe & Andrew Jones (552) in 1991 Phenomenal...

    Leave aside selections, the back to the wall stuff from England, there's still 3 more days to go. We're definitely going to get a result, one way or other. Nominating Macewell now to turn it all around for us by taking 6 fer in the second dig and smashing it around like Bairstow has. I know...

    I'm not sure how are we trying to take the next wicket. The field is spread, not much in the air or the deck and up against two gladiators. Full capacity crowd. Imagine being one of the players in the field experiencing this. You won't know what hit you

    England is going to score over 300 in 50 overs. That coming from being 50/5 that's insane. I still think bowling Bracewell would be a good option.

    It's 5 am here in NZ but watching Bairstow although it hurts is a joy. Knew before the series Root, Bairstow and Stokes will hurt us. Didn't know to this extent. Two of the very best knock I've watched in recent memory. It's not just power hitting he's been smart, calculative and very skillful...

    Might as well watch Bairstow get a hundred, appreciate the knock and go back to sleep

    Geez they've taken 10s off Bracewell. Finally Darryl Mitchell get the ball.

    Probably best to go back to sleep unless I want to enjoy watching Bairstow. How did Bracewell bowl? Did he bowl bad or England smashed good balls

    Thought wake up an hour later and England will be bowled out but then they're 204/6
