Might have to keep Southee on just to have one competent catcher

Moooo
Brilliant Southee catch

Nice catch!

He shouldn't bowl/make any XIs, but can we keep Southee in the squad as sub fielder and catching coach?

Him and Boult were always such a bonus to the fielding side. So rare to have quicks who are also 99th percentile catchers.

State Regular
Gets a boundary and thinks he can bat!

Eng would have to bowl really badly to lose this

So it did not happen the route I expected (four early wickets but then England go big with substantial fielder assistance), but the end result of England scoring 500 for a big lead, is about what I expected after our middling 350.
It's the seamy NZ road bowl-first script.
Pitch still fairly good for batting, but England get help from scorecard pressure and any NZ exhaustion from time in the field. Very important session, NZ want the middle order to come back fresh tomorrow rather than bat tonight.

Don't think they'd have to bowl that badly. The pitch is roading pretty hard now, 400+ is definitely achievable in NZ's second innings. But they'd have to bat extremely badly not to chase down 250 on day 5.

Heaps of time to go. NZ needs to bat until the end of day 4/start of 5. England will chase whatever the target

Perfect batting situation for BJ Watling to go big!

if watling bats we'll need a 6th and 7th day for a result lmao

Yeah would have to think this match is over. Don't think NZ can bat long enough to save it.
