    Been coming that Stokes wicket. He forgets we've another two days after this. He's the test captain so shouldn't be treating it like a limited overs game.

    test cricket players in general won't play "proper cricket" now
    yes there's always been some swashbuckling players which is good to push a game on quicker, but ffs every player wants a 4 or 6 every ball,
    simple defence shots are rare once they've got in playing/leaving 3 balls
    1 run every 2 overs would win from here!

    Stokes wants to play at 6 and in my eyes if a number 6 gets a quick or even moderate fifty then it is acceptable.
    He is no Gilchrist and never will increase his average unless he plays higher up and curtails his aggression

    1/2 odds where 1 more wicket could be curtains, especially if root falls, will be a few overs with a new ball too
    i'd bang a few quid on NZ at 6/4

    Hopefully we won’t need to face a new ball.
    There players are knackered so having to stop soon isn’t good as they’ll be fresh tomorrow

    Think it was Cook who said on the BBC 'you've got to play for every scoring opportunity as it comes now'.

    I was shouting at the telly. There's 2 1/2 days to play, and we need 277, now is the time to go full Boycott. Unless it's guaranteed runs, dab and defend or leave it the **** alone!

    Spot on. People are forgetting New Zealand need one more wicket and they're into a spineless tail.

    Root or Foakes out in first few overs and lose by 30 odd runs.

    All depends on Root. If he is still there in 10 overs time we have a decent chance. If he goes early this morning it’s game over (again)

    It will be closer than we probably think......

    When New Zealand had set batters coming back after a sleep they struggled to get going again. Hopefully Root won't.
    The bowlers have had a sleep now so will be refreshed and ready to go again.
    The overcast conditions will be much more bowler friendly than batter.
    One more wicket and we are down to the four guys who aren't very good at batting when we usually have a longer tail.

    I’m gonna be positive …
    We are clear favourites and this pair will do it without losing a wicket and will get the winning run at the end of the 81st over after one ball with the new un !

    No need to panic, we're steady away under Root.
