You can’t really ask for from a Test Match than having all 3 results still possible on the final day.

My predictions is NZ tail add 50 plus more, England lose early wickets then bat for the draw.

Won't be calling myself Nostradamus just yet but ...

I expected Lees to anchor things, whilst the others went for it.

Didn't think that he'd be the one attacking

I think this game will go right to the wire, pitch still looks decent for batting but has enough for the bowlers as well. England need to go into tea with 150+ on the board and at least 6-7 wickets in hand to go for the win, any less and it'll be a case of trying to hold out for the draw.

Setup for a great day though.

The cameramen are doing their best to highlight all the bouncers at Trent Bridge.

Pope and Root gone back to back I reckon that’s the game.

Block a few Jonny.....don't want to see a Gloucestershire player lose the record for England's fastest test century

In this ridiculously specific situation I can't think of many other players you would want.

This has been a fascinating test match to watch.
