[Dr Crane]

it'll be tough, but england can still save this.

glad i somehow got leave from work for tomorrow, i'll be there first ball.

 

[Twizzle]

England certainly can save it, no doubt but on current form you guys have shown you can take 20 wickets and day 5 will suit the bowlers

balls in your court

 

[TheParraboy]

kiwis to win by 99 runs

cheers

of the completed days of this series we've probably dominated 80% of them.

i'm confident. even if england salvage a draw, i'm going to be deeply impressed.

 

[cleary89]

England copping a huge serve in the afternoon papers. Darkest day in 20 years was the headline on back page of evening standard

 

[vvvrulz]

What are they doing bowling Williamson and Martin, get the quicks on esp Boult.

 

[vvvrulz]

England looking as solid as ever, I've got a funny feeling they might escape this.

 

[vvvrulz]

New ball taken, Boult on, Root gone.

Maybe McCullum was onto something in terms of saving the strike bowlers for the new ball.

 

[Iafeta]

Outstanding from Boult. That delivery was world class.

 

[Iafeta]

If they had have reviewed Bairstow, he would have LBW for 0 as well.

 

[Iafeta]

Brownlie, how did he drop that? If he gets Bell there, its game over for mine.

 

[Iafeta]

Now Williamson drops it. New Zealand panicking. Look like a test team that isn't used to winning. Boult bowling beautifully, but this is pathetic fielding.

 

[Rod]

Unbelievable. We've been so switched on this whole test including in the field. I can't stand dropped catches at the best of times, right now I feel sick.

 

[JJ]

FMD Boult pretty much won us the test there, and the field let him down

 

[vvvrulz]

Crazy stuff New Zealand, Bell and Bairstow dropped in one over and that would have been curtains.

 

[JJ]

and Boult would hav ebeen competing with Fulton for MoM, as it is we've not made much progress... new ball and better catching after lunch could see some action

 

[Twizzle]

This juggling act isn't doing much for team morale but seems to have pissed the commentators off so mission accomplished.

Could have just about wrapped it up in those 2 balls before lunch.

 

[Rod]

I guess if you wanted to look at it positively we would only have ever taken one of those wickets, if the first catch gets taken we go to lunch.

 

[Mr Angry]

5 wickets 60 overs, come on!

 

[vvvrulz]

I guess if you wanted to look at it positively we would only have ever taken one of those wickets, if the first catch gets taken we go to lunch.

That wicket would have been Bell, and that would have been the game pretty much.
