Bairstow is in unbelievable form.

What a turnaround this has been

[Villan For Life]

The type of cricket that England now play is wonderful, it certainly frustrates and delights in equal measure. It’s making me reassess how I view test cricket and our game is definitely evolving. It’s still a work in progress and the acid test will come next summer but things are looking very positive.

Overton J. Falls for 97

Ah gutted for him, but a brilliant and vital innings.

Foakes injured.

Jonny keeping

Great test match so far.  Really enjoying the ebb and flow.

Foakes out with COVID, Billings in. Weird way to avoid being a one cap wonder.

Handy time to test positive, when he was injured anyway

If Foakes is ruled out of the India test, I hope that Bairstow keeps and Brook comes in.

It’ll be tough on Brook if Billings or Buttler is brought in

If it wasn’t for Blundell and Mitchell, this series would have been a romp for England.

If it wasn't for Root and Bairstow New Zealand would be 2-0 up.

Crawley is brain dead.

Another good match here where 3 results are still in play going in to day 5.

Yep, both teams deserve a lot of credit for their approach in this series.  It’s been very watchable and a great advert for the test format.
