Got to feel a bit for Mitchell. His remarkable first innings century totally overshadowed.

Yeah. Fielding aside, New Zealand actually played pretty well there.  They probably thought they had a real chance of winning this when they were bowled out.

Well I was wrong about this Test - NZ 246/8 now.

I always think it's hard to make above 3.75/over in Test conditions, currently it would be about 3.4.

Obviously not that hard....

Yeah, Jamieson being unable to bowl obviously hindered them as well cos southee and Boult looked knackered. I wonder if we'll see any changes for England in the final test. The ODIs start this week too against the Netherlands.

A smoke and a pancake required for the Netherlands after England rack up an astounding 498-4. Buttler hit 162 from 70 balls, Malan 122 from 90 and Salt 125 from 80. Livingstone had a late cameo bashing 66 from 22 balls. Roy was out for 1 and Morgan a duck.

I do like this is aggressive brand of cricket England are playing as it is very entertaining and great to watch but you just feel they will have a couple of innings where they are bowled out for 70.

I suppose you could argue they did that plenty anyway.
