New Zealand getting the job done in India without Kane Williamson. A proper side

The batting is the main problem. Bar Root they are completely unreliable.

Each good for the odd live round in magazine otherwise full of damp squids.

Proceeding under way in the first test of the Crowe-Thorpe Trophy Series at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch.
England have put New Zealand into bat. Gus Atkinson with a terrific caught and bowl has picked up the wicket of Devon Conway.
4-1.
Gus Atkinson hat-trick in the second test in Wellington.
Usual Bazball nonsense of putting in the opposition to bat first as weâll Bazball down any total. India were 430/3 on Day at Headingley but England have kicked up a few wickets before lunch and itâs 454/7. England bowling post Anderson/Broad is very much of the pie chucking variety.
Josh Tongue in the groove here.

Great to see Jaiswal get a century. Best story in sport

Not familiar with him. Whatâs his story?
Worth a Google. I couldnât do it justice really.
Tough upbringing. Most Indian cricketers would be from well heeled backgrounds.
England will be bowled out for 250. Crawley and Pope are useless

Harry Brook falls on 99. Utterly dumb hook shot and passes up the opportunity of a century on his home patch of Headingley.
England 398/7
Set up lovely for the final day. England need 371 to win. I reckon theyâll do it.
England 117/0 at lunch. 254 runs needed at about 3.8 an over. England well on track if rain holds off.
319-5.
52 more runs needed.
Lovely mid summerâs evening entertainment.
New ball due in less than 7 overs. India will need a burst from that but will the target be within reach by that stage?
