Oh, I hear you. England meanwhile looked to be off to a flyer but the young batting line-up has lost a bunch of wickets. Not sure you can blame players like Pope or (for different reasons) Stokes all that much.Ultimately, NZ getting rewards for some very disciplined bowling.

Originally posted by E10 Rifle View PostIt's a docile pitch, but that doesn't mean England will hang on. I doubt they will. We've not won a Test in New Zealand for more than a decade, during which time I'm fairly sure England have won everywhere else.

NZ are world No. 2 so this series was a big ask for an England side that tends to travel poorly but it is disappointing given they had got themselves into a good position on Day 2. Fortunate for England that it does not count for the World Test Championship, which loses much credibility given such selectivity.
Racial abuse of Archer - hopefully culprit found and banned for life. If NZ has legal penalties for the offence, prosecute fully. Name and shame in media.

How many Test teams have crushed the opposition by an innings without a functioning top order?
It's like a heptathlon/decathlon where you just try and register a score in the shot put, getting it out of the way before moving onto the disciplines you're good at.
