England v New Zealand Test Series 2026

[sussexpob]

Lead now 57.... feels like 500 the way both these teams have batted.

Watch the windows, Kyle...

I know tough conditions but 2nd innings for bethell I think....very little batting this year....rew knocking on the door could do with a score just to settle any early talk

[andy]

Robinson has just been hit for a huge 6 by jamieson

[andy]

After hitting tongue for 6 the over before

[sussexpob]

Robinson has just been hit for a huge 6 by jamieson

And again.... 3 massive sixes from Jameison...

Lead cut to 35.... Very handy couple of partnerships for NZ. Its been a disaster, but the tail are bringing them back into the game.

[sussexpob]

Henry can bat, and O Rourke has a FC that suggests he might be up there with the worst batsman ever to play test cricket....

I take it this means Henry is completely out the game now and his injury means he wont bowl? Will he suit up like Chris Woakes and try to play hero for a few balls for Jamo to have a few more smashes?

Jamo taking his singles. A guy with 18 runs in 13 games at the other end, not sure Id be giving him 4 balls an over to face.

Ball doing all sorts, nibbling around off a length. Ton of wickets to howled, lbw and caught behind.

So naturally England start banging it in short to the tail.

[sussexpob]

Expect England to go full on Bazball second innings, judging on how long batsman have lasted on this deck. Might be exactly the way to go judging on how well they and NZ have defended on this wicket.

[sussexpob]

Jamo takes the single first ball. Really don't get this at all... the guy can barely hold a bat

[andy]

Atkinson back 2 balls later gets o Rourke caught at slip!

[sussexpob]

And there we go, Atkinson needs one ball at O Rourke and its curtains...

Will Henry hobble out?

[sussexpob]

Henry out in the middle. He can bat a bit, but in this state?

[sussexpob]

Jamo pings another past Robbo... lead now only 28

[andy]

Dosent look comfortable at all....Daryl Mitchell may get overs as the 4th seamer in the second innings now you would have thought
