Mitchell's playing large-scale beer pong.

England have lost this haven't they. I dunno Nemo, I'm still going with this.

Big first hour here, NZ don't have much more to come after this. They're ahead for sure but don't think this is out of sight just yet. Could be by lunch though.

Yep, there'll be moans about the lack of variety in the attack and Leach not being Murali, but we've made chances, we've just dropped them. Leach has had Mitchell dropped twice, once very early on.
Cricviz expected wickets in this innings (actual)
Anderson 2.2 (2) Broad 2.3 (0) Potts 2.6 (0 Stokes 1.4 (2) Leach 1.7 (0) Root 0.2
On average, they'd be bowled out by now.

Good to see that Brendon McCullum and Stokes have immediately sorted the main problems with England.

Overreacting to limited sample sizes is pretty much what keeps the sports media going!

Just time for Stokes to injure himself through overbowling.

'Lets hope this rain doesn't last too long'
Quite right, a couple of days is probably long enough.

See, the problem with making all the noise about playing positive, attacking cricket is you then look a bit silly when you start trying to just hang it outside off or bowling leg theory with all the fielders on one side or the other. It's not a terrible tactic, but it's certainly not positive, attacking cricket.

Well batted Olly Pope. Not convinced I want to see him coming in on a cloudy morning in the second over, but he's a serious talent all the same.

Two days to go. I've woken up very optimistic, I think England are batting past NZ here with Jamieson injured and that Jack Leach is going to do plenty towards the end of the day.
