Missed the first hour of play, but despite Atkinson drawing the edge that fell short of slips it looks very nice for batting out there. Pitch looks very easy-paced. So we have to make it count.

If this is a typical flattening NZ seamy road, then the side bowling first will be very pleased if they can toil and dismiss the opposition for 350, then rack up 550 in reply. Think we need one of these two to make a big hundred and score 450+. No gifts please.

Going to be much better weather for bowling tomorrow and day 3. Overcast and cool.

Ball is definitely still doing enough.

England have largely missed their lengths.

will be an absolute pancake tomorrow though.

Dunno if the weather will change much because the pitch will be dead by then.

Hasn't done much in the air and IIRC doesn't tend to swing much in Chch.
