Definitely England's day but still a long way behind. Duckett was great.

Great innings from Duckett but I'm honestly more impressed by Bethell, he was very good when it was the 2 of them and he kept rotating the strike and letting Duckett do his thing but once NZ broke the partnership he realised his job had changed and was now about getting the stumps ready to push on tomorrow. It's innings like today that show why they're so eager to train him for a leadership role. The job now is to bat until tea and turn it into, effectively, a single innings game, anything over 400 works for us.

I like the fact that they dug in and played proper test cricket.  Setting a decent platform with a softer ball for the rest of the batters to take advantage of.  So much better and sensible from England today.  Should be another cracking day tomorrow.
