NZ batsmen seem to think they are batting on a minefield when its not.

Good bowling from England but jeez, 5-28 with 4 clean bowled is poor batting. No aggression whatsoever from the kiwis and all 4 of the wickets they've been caught on the crease.

The dreaded evening session with the pick ball. Well played England they deserve to win.
 
I reckon if Warner passed his concussion test, it'd be the first test that he's ever passed :cool:

As I said before, no mongrel. Ashwin is a notorious cat when it comes to the short ball. Siraj would have him jumping all over the place and out.
As would the Wild Thing Morris, I've been calling for him to play in the first 2 tests, just get him in there and tell him to go for it, stick it up em.
We're not going to beat them with spin.

Poor tactics here. How longs it been since Cummins has had a bowl? Surely mixing spin with pace up gives you the best chance against the tail. Not even really trying to find out if there is any reverse swing out there. Very strange.

Just as I type that, Cummins comes back, but its now the 77th over and the new ball is available in just a couple of overs.

Agree.
 
This is gripping viewing. We’ve been poor tacitly but amazing effort by India to get so close.
