Though O'Rourke's sprayed a few, he's shown again the extra dimension his pace and bounce brings to the side. Would like to see him get an over or two to Khawaja. Smith so unorthodox - O'Rourke's made Smith uncomfortable though doesn't look that likely to dismiss him.

Yeah he's bowled OK so far, kept it tight and if he wasn't bowling to one of the best batsmen in the world like Smith he might have a wicket by now.

Look tbh O'Rourke hasn't been great - he's bowling plenty of easy leaves. We forgive him because he's the baby bowler.

It's the other two, especially Southee, who should be better.

Kuggeleijn confirmed. Ugh.

Once again, I'm out. Enjoy the test, guys.

I am with you 100%. It just makes me sick. The guy admitted she said no repeatedly and he still got away with it. Terrible. Has shown no contrition. Her life is ruined. They brushed it under the rug. The All Blacks did the same with selecting Sivivatu and Frizell after they assaulted women. Geoffrey Boycott gets a knighthood after beating his partner.

I am no fan of all the woke talk, but this proves it's all bs talk anyway, and when it comes to the actions of national bodies they do things like this. It's a huge **** you to women everywhere. And to make it even worse they drop the ultimate team man Wagner for this piece of ****. So yeah no thanks.

Henry very good and as hoped, relentless and getting into the 135+ speeds often. Genuine test match opening batting from Khawaja though - Australia will miss him when he retires.

I have seen nothing in Uzi’s 10* that Renshaw can’t replace

We’re screwed when we need a few more than that

Jamieson would be handy right now, he has a knack of taking wickets when other bowlers can't due to his extra height and bounce.

The bloke in the crowd who interviews random people from time to time seems a bit uncomfortable and doesn’t add much, trips over his words and repeats himself even given his segments only last a minute or so. Not sure what the point or purpose is.

Think NZ should have bravely chosen to bat first, bat out the initial few overs assisting pace and then make merry.
