New Zealand v England 28 Nov- 18 Dec 2024 (3 Tests)

[NYRB]

Let Root get a century tomorrow, Stokes too. Lead 600+ and it’ll only be Day 3 tomorrow. Yikes

My bad I forgot this was Day 2 still. My thinking was it was Day 3.

In that case England can keep batting then...........id imagine 600 or even 650 run lead, and the English look to stat pad some stats especially Stokes and Root before maybe having a free swing.

Eng can bat another session tomorrow before declaring for a couple of possible milestones & they still wont be even halfway through the match lol

Yep Stokes will want a big score and be happy to bat a bit of time given the pressure he was under with the bat from people outside.

Have a session before lunch and one after. Simple. Then NZ has 2.5 days to defend. Impossible

Could be a bit of rain lurking about tomorrow, but that appears about it for the rest of the match

Thinking back to Manchester last year, let's hope we don't shit the bed and declare.

Bethell's just made his highest score in senior cricket as well.

Being played in NZ and on the North Island, rain is always a threat, but surprisingly not the case for this match....Eng should just pummel NZ on day 3, get a 650 + lead and then roll the home side for less than 150 again....

I think England will just look to bat normally today and get that lead to around 600 or so. You really shouldn't be losing test matches with that sort of lead. And if NZ in a fantasy world got up- you say the English bowlers are no good.

That the problem with NZ, they really don't have a match winner.

ha bloody hell what a way to bring up your ton

Classy declaration by Stokes on 49. Shows he's not about personal milestones.

 

[Plugger35]

England declaring with a lead of 582.

I doubt we will get anywhere near that but hopefully we can at least put up a better fight than we did in the first innings.

 

[sabso]

400+ in the third innings, this is what teams would usually do to England

Even with that incredible innings they still fell 100 runs short of the 550 target

This is Root's 50th FC century, his average has crept over 50 these last few matches and it currently stands at 50.11

(50.93 in Tests)

Gus Atkinson no balled his quad trick ball

Conway gone already.

 

[Plugger35]

Conway should be dropped for Young for the next test but I doubt he will be.

Does Blundell make the chop? Averaging 14 from his last 26 innings...Not sure why Philips is still batting below him

Kane gone.

Looks like this test may not last 3 days the way this is going.

I doubt he will be dropped either but he should be batting below Phillips who is in better form than him.
