Looking at this series it looks bizarre how they managed to whitewash India. Every other team seems to easily whitewash the kiwis

Think England did get a par score. This isn't an 80/5 deck at all imo. NZ can still salvage this though as they only need one big partnership. It might become better to bat on as the game progresses too.

Disagree. When England were batting they were playing and missing at every third ball on average (except when Southee or Phillips were bowling). 225 would've been a very solid score. 280 is definitely advantage the team batting first, especially given how good for batting this deck is going to get later today.

Our third highest scorer in the innings got 17! Not suggesting any of the others apart from Brook and Pope played well (Bethell seems to be getting plaudits for doing the bare minimum of not getting skittled out straight away), but it was a difficult time for batting

You reckon it will? Would require bounce and seam to ease a fair bit.

It would also help if NZ could keep wickets in hand until the ball is 50+ overs old; it's a mere 26 overs old atm.

I see 140km winds expected in Welly on Sunday, then. Forecasting a mere 90km zephyr here (Bristol, UK) tomorrow and got a siren alert through my phone from the govt.

On the bright side for NZ, forecast is now looking really grim for tomorrow and not much better for Monday. May only get another 200 overs of play.
