354 all out
Boult 5 fer
Nearly hour and half at them till lunch Ball swinging around.

Not one ball England have bowled can be described as anything other than gun barrel straight.

This pitch is a road without the prodigious swing movement the Kiwi's got.
Unfortunately you are right ....surprised me

Yeah in fairness, I expected Anderson and Broad to get at least the same amount of assistance as the Kiwi bowlers.

Its a bit peculiar that they can't get the cricket balls they make to act more consistently.

Why is the follow on 150 behind rather than 200?

Because we lost a whole days play and it is therefore deemed a four day match for which the follow on score is 150 behind under rule 13.

No follow-on, bit of a surprise but maybe it gives Compton one last chance?

That's a very negative decision.
