Gets better as the days wear on apparently. Follow on was the correct decision.
New Zealand 272/4. Lead of 46.
This pair are well settled in
They are. I didnât think it was a great idea to enforce the follow on. 226 is not a huge lead on a decent batting track. England could well be left with a tricky target here.
England 53-2 chasing 258
Nightwatchman Ollie Robinson departs.
Followed by Duckett. The collapse is on
Root and Popey will see this home.
Donât really get a good old England batting collapse overseas any more these days
Ollie Pope on his way. 80/4
Well Rooty maybe
Only three sides have ever won in 2493 test matches prior to this after following on. England surprisingly havenât been on the receiving end.
Brook run out for a duck without facing a delivery. 80/5
No not Rooty either
The NZ cricket team are a great bunch of lads.
Fagan_ODowd: Fagan_ODowd:Root and Popey will see this home.
Well Rooty maybe
No not Rooty either
No Rooty is still out there Fagan
Here comes Stokesie to rescue the situation
It was actually Australia who lost in each of the 3 tests that were won by the side following on.
This âspinnerâ theyâve brought on has just been cleaved all over the place.
Root hitting the off spinner Michael Bracewell for 17 there in that over. 106/5
