Gotta love Zaltzman... New Zealand become the first Test nation to have three batsmen dismissed in the same innings for scores of 80-82.

Bracey is useless! Poor Olly Stone, he should have 3 wickets now. England's catching has been awful.

Who is Billings on for? Can't find any mention on either the BBC or Cricinfo

Ben Cox would have been a far better option.  Really disappointed with Bracey. Stone and Wood, with Archer, the way forward.

Blimey, I nip out for an hour and we slip to 59 for 5.  Utter shite.  Time to review some of these players if we ever want to get to number one in the world. I fear for us against the Aussies if we play like this.

This England team looks less than the sum of its parts.

Not good. This team looks broken. You could legitimately drop Crawley, Sibley, Pope, Bracey and they could all have no complaints. Bracey only has some justification in that they’ve messed him up by making him keeper and chucking him at 7.

Same, I left the house for my Covid vaccine at 2pm, NZ were about 45 ahead and 7 down. I get back and we're 71-6.

How many times do we have to read the word 'collapse' associated with the England cricket team?! As my friend just said, it isn't even news anymore - a non-collapse is more noteworthy.

You're right Rory, it's more newsworthy if the openers get a hundred partnership, which hasn't happened for yonks.  more newsworthy that the top order hasn't collapsed and Root has to come in and bail us out. This is really really poor.

I love Mark Wood, but that is brainless cricket.
