If England come out in the morning and gently caress up, New Zealand can chase it. They have the firepower, the pitch isn't doing that much and England's bowlers ain't exactly in the best place right now.

Don't knock geriatric curmudgeons.

Ian Chappell is one, and is now the only good thing about Channell 9's cricket coverage.

Geoff Boycott is one, and apart from his unfortunate wife beating tendencies, is hilarious

Because it has. It's the pitch where Sri Lanka batted out like 3 days after following on, and where Stuart Broad scored 169.

It's also where we had 232 & 213 plays 207 & 68 against NZ a couple of years ago, mind. Then again, swing might account for that.

Arguably if both sides had a specialist spinner in this match the scoring would at least have been kept in check a bit.

Craig's a specialist, he's just bowled badly possibly due to not playing much over the last two months.

He's an Australian so he's almost certainly better than the local options at least.

Southee and Boult both bowled 34 overs. Southee 2 for 162; Boult 5 for 85

Boult is so loving class.
