**Official** England in New Zealand

[_Ed_]

Vaughan wasn't too impressed with Collingwood's shot selection there.

Indeed. It's a must if you live in Australia and have to put up with the inept Fox Sports organisation. I'm sure they'll have my email on block soon enough, too, so someone else has to take up the good fight. I can understand if they're showing other live sport at the time, but they aren't - they're showing replays of last night's Total Rugby show followed by replays of something else. They have the rights and yet they're just choosing to show it between midnight and 6am. Unbelievable.

Rob, they're showing the 2nd, 3rd and 4th days on Fox Sports. No coverage of the 5th Day, so hopefully it doesn't go that long.

Fox Sports - dire and then so is England's effort so far.

What a Jenkell and Hyde like series this has been. New Zealand outplayed England for 3 and half innings (apart from when Sidebottom got his hat trick and the cluster of wickets that followed) in Hamilton and then New Zealand was dire completely in Wellington now it is England's turn, I mean

And will Strauss actually pull his finger out?

Remember England were 136-5 on the first afternoon in Wellington.

Jenkell?

My bet Eng to make 322. Pieterson 133, Ambrose 76.

 

[Zinzan]

Unlucky Vettori, hit him just in line with offstump for mine, could have gone either way

 

[_Ed_]

Ambrose gone, bit of a sigh of relief after what he did from a similar situation in Wellington.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Goooooooone.

Hopefully we can finish this off now.

 

[_Ed_]

Yeah, but although I want us to get the last 4 wickets as quickly as possible I hope Pietersen gets to 100, he really deserves it. Quality innings.

 

[Athlai]

Jeeves!

 

[Laurrz]

have a feeling Englands tail will be annoying

 

[Brett Dale]

England 150/6 at tea.

Southee has a couple, good on the young man!!!!

Things are looking good for the blackcaps!!!!!

 

[Craig]

As long as Fleming ton's up in the New Zealand 1st innings I'll be a happy man (although not quite like Phlegm where it would be x-rated).

 

[Natman20]

I am quite worried. I think NZ have problems cleaning up the tail quite often. They either have to strike or else i think 350 - 400 is a real possibility.

 

[Natman20]

time to give elliot a go. he might be one of those players who comes in and gets wickets every so often.

 

[_Ed_]

Well played KP. Great innings.

 

[Natman20]

Time to take Martin out of the attack. These runs are costly i think. He is not consistent enough. If only we had Bond sigh ...

 

[Laurrz]

this is an amazing knock by KP ..you'd think if he scored a ton England would be at 230 atleast or something lol

 

[Natman20]

I think if England don't lose another wicket by the end of the day i actually think it will turn out to be their day.
