New Zealand's batters are making Cook look like a tactical genius

[UK Redsox]

Well....this is going quite well

Looks like Broad might just have one of his trainwrecking spells to help Cook out of trouble.

I'll be disappointed if they appoint Bayliss and not Gillespie.

I won't!

[PaulWinch again]

Sounds like it's definitely Bayliss. Well I hope he gets us playing an attacking style of cricket.

Stokes is having the game of his life. McCullum out first ball and Stokes on a hat trick

[PaulWinch again]

Stokes has come of age. World class over that, reminiscent of Flintoff.

You have to question the ECB PR team. They handle things so badly. First there was the leak of Peter Moores dismissal whilst he's with the side for an ODI in Dublin. Now it seems Gillespie is not first choice as we have been previously lead to believe and Bayliss is favourite. Add to the mess that they made of the KP situation and we look amateurish.

Strauss needs to sort them out and soon.

Stokes' bowling was pretty ferocious there, and his batting was more controlled than Flintoff's ever was, though just as aggressive. We may have something special with this one.

I feel a bit for Mark Wood. He's bowled as well as anyone, in my view, but the ball keeps missing the edge by millimeters. Hope he gets his rewards.

[Villan For Life]

I really like the look of Wood. He reminds me of Simon Jones at his peak.

[Chris Jameson]

Excellent news for Yorkshire, think he may have been lead along a bit as Yorkshire were resigned to losing him.
