New Zealand v England test series

[sendô]

Leach taken his first wicket and now Jimmy takes Nicholls to make it 4 down.

A dolly for Wood and Leachs' 2nd wicket of the innings leaves just 4 wickets remaining with 40 odd overs or so to bowl (early finish due to light allowed).

Has to be said England have dropped NZ on 5 occasions, some very difficult chances though.

Last over before tea and the cloud cover has moved in from nowhere. The NZ comms are thinking not much more than a half dozen overs after tea.

If I were an England player I wouldn't even change out of my whites......... just get me home. A terrible winter for our test team.

Everyone round the bat at the end but ran out of time. We failed to take 20 wickets yet again.

7 tests, zero occasions that we've taken 20 wickets this winter.

A worrying stat.

The frustrating thing is that if England had to bat out the day in Christchurch you could put your house on them not accomplishing it.

And that's with Broad and Anderson!
