Brendon : "if England do go on to a series loss( hopefully) will Baz's job be at risk considering there recent form in ODIs? "

Andrew: "It's a real privilege as a NZer for England to turn up on our shores and show us the true manner in how the game should be played. It's not about winning or losing and it's disappointing to see these ungrateful comments." Never thought a smirk would be visible through words, off a screen, like this

4:50pm That was... some sequence of events. England rolled themselves over to a large extent. A couple of good 'uns, like Duckett's nicking off to Duffy. Smith got a start but found Williamson off Foulkes' bowling. Root looked good till he was strangled down leg. Bethell threw away a start right after drinks. Buttler was undone by Smith, trying to play across the line. Brook wanted to keep going even when the score was 105 for 5. Overton got a few handy runs before Tickner finished off in style. All NZ bowlers among the wickets. A four-for and a two-four included.

Jim: "Really happy Blair Tickner has this opportunity, and that he is bowling so well. He definitely deserves it. "

Dylan: "The way england are batting, it's hard to tell if nz is great at applying pressure, and the t20 thrashing was an abberation, or eng really are just one dimensional 'must only hit boundaries' and it either comes off or doesn't. "

Tom: "Nothing to fear for England, it's not like most of the top order has possibly one of the most defining series of their careers kicking off in a couple of weeks. " Yes, bring in the pina coladas please

Thomas : "is the pitch doing things? even so, good signs for the ashes for Australia" Pitch has been two-paced a touch but bounce has been decent. A few opposite-of soft dismissals

Matty A: "When Buttler fell, I thought 200 looked out of reach, now that Overton's gone I'm thinking closer to 175"

Rashid the final batter
