I think NZ have probably batted themselves into a relatively comfortable position now. If they can get a lead of 250 by just after lunch tomorrow then I can see them having a dart.

299 to win in 2 and a bit sessions at something like 4.1 an over. What do you reckon GR?

It'll be a draw I reckon, we let them get too many.

But England do throw up the odd surprise batting last so I'll be more than happy to be proven wrong.

Snatch defeat from the jaws of drawing.

Has anyone phoned Notts Police because a bowling attack has been murdered this afternoon.

That was brutal. I can't imagine there was anyone outside the England dressing room who, two weeks ago, would have said England could chase down 250 and nearly 300 to win 2 games in a fortnight.

Great chase! When I predicted a draw earlier I actually forgot NZ were a bowler down. It definitely helped towards the end.

Amazing. Didn't think we'd get anywhere near NZs first innings total in 2 innings let alone win.
Real mindset change last couple of weeks
