Youâre not far wrong, however with 57 runs needed from 28.3 overs youâd think theyâd start batting smartâŚ
Nah.
These two have scored at 9 an over
Bairstow gone. Now for the mother of all collapses

Thats my fault - I turned the tv on just as he flailed at that
Thatâs set the record for most boundaries of any Test in history. So far, weâve had 221 fours and 23 sixes.
Actually just got out of the pool.
I reckon that might be Englandâs session.
Bonkers cricket
Iâm predicting an England win by around 5 wickets.
That was epic!! One of the great Test matches.
A fabulous test match, NZ players must be shell-shocked. Bairstowâs knock must be right up there as one of the all time great Test innings. Englandâs mindset has been totally different in this series, much more positive. They have clearly been told to play to their strengths, with the freedom to play their natural game. McCullum must be delighted with that, heâs clearly had an impact in the dressing room from the get go, itâs early days but he could turn out to be a very good choice as coach. A nod to Rob Key for sticking his neck out and appointing him, and Stokes as captain of course.
Shows how Test cricket has eveloved. Nearly 1700 runs. Both sides scoring over 500 in the first innings. In the old days, guaranteed draw.
Glad I missed that bore draw.
Oh wait.
