Over rate is ridiculous.

Probably had about 20 minutes of England players walking in and out of the pavilion!

Root's a very lucky boy there.

He was in line.It was the inbuilt margin for error that saved him. But you can see he was in line, without needing the ball tracking.

The good thing about only bowling 25 overs before lunch is we lose less batsmen.

This is the first time Stokes has scored test runs in England.

Still something there for the bowlers, but Kiwis bowling shorter in the second hour. Root and Stokes looked good against the swing though.

Both have reached 50's I see. :clap

15 off the last over and now 10 off this one

I hope the blood isn't rushing to his head

58 runs off the last 10 overs.

by **Durhamfootman** » Thu May 21, 2015 2:47 pm

spinner on. Trying to buy Stokesy's wicket?

Gone a bit quiet on here, bet that'll change if some wickets go down!

First Test: England v New Zealand, May 21-25.
