2nd wicket down, 103-2, Williamson gone.

England needed that, things we’re going New Zealand’s way.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Nicholls gone, England getting on top here.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a rain delay as it's ever so bleak where I'm sat in North London. If there isn't rain then the ball will swing all day in these conditions.

270 might be a decent total IMHO.

Certainly looks a bit overcast.

NZ aren’t going great guns but their bowlers will fancy their chances in these conditions.

[Mibbes Aye]

New Zealand will need to accelerate from here but still have two or three batsmen who can produce fireworks.

[Mibbes Aye]

Done and dusted now I think.

England just need to bat.......

[BigKev]

New Zealand will fancy themselves defending 250+

Probably the best post on this thread.

If they can reach 250 and if they can exploit what’s left in the pitch...

How Bairstow and Roy start is crucial.

With a relatively low target I see it going England’s way, Root will manage his partners if required.

Big questions for the Ashes - does Roy come in at opening bat and does Root man up and move to three?

It's been an interesting start to England's chase. Could easily be 2 down.

Roy must get a chance at test level. Root has been the glue which holds them together so coming in at 3 should be considered.

Roy and Bairstow opening in the Ashes could be a match winning combination.

[marinello59]

Roy gone.
The NZ openers have been superb so far. Fantastic stuff from them.

In the absence of any credible alternative, it’s seems a no brainier. They’ve tried a few and it hasn’t really worked. Jennings has had longer than most would have got.

[BigKev]

The next 6-8 overs could be crucial now Roy is out. England need to see off the initial threat of Boult and Henry.

Jennings, Vince and Burns have all failed. I think it's Habeeb they have high hopes for but Roy certainly deserves another chance at Test level.

Root crumbles under the relentless pressure from the NZ bowlers. They just haven’t let up from the first ball.

Definitely. NZ have been exceptional. England are struggling at the moment.

They need a big innings from Bairstow.

Root was unusually reckless in getting out. He was getting increasingly frustrated.

[BigKev]

3 down... A partnership of substance is required for England to prevail.

Brilliant bowling display from the Kiwis.

Doubt you'll get a price on England now.

[marinello59]

That looked like a World Cup wining catch to me. There is no way NZ are going to let this slip away from them now.

You've got to think Buttler is key now. If he's there at the end England could pull it off.

[lord bunberry]

Frighteningly good bowling from New Zealand. England need to start at least rotating the strike and add singles, because in around 10 overs they’re going to be right under it. This will go to the wire.

[Sergey]

England really have rode their luck. On another day they could have been all-out.

[lord bunberry]

This is better from England, it’s not a huge total, just keep the singles coming and the odd boundary will see them home.

If Stokes and Buttler keep this up for the next 10 overs even it will be close.

Hope they're both there at the end.

I know absolutely nothing about cricket but this is great TV.

I might regret this one.

[Lancs Harp]

Its been a tense one to date.

England on it at the moment but it only takes a wicket to change things completely.

Been a great game even without the bish bam wallop.

[Radium]

Hadn’t realised it is live on Channel 4. Now engrossed

The commentators seem convinced England are in a good position. I take it that's assuming they will go for it in the last few overs? I get they have a partnership and are knocking 1s and 2s but the required run rate seems to be increasing all the time.

[marinello59]

Another fantastic catch straight after a brilliant bit of fielding from Boult. What a game.

New Zealand have been fantastic and deserve this.
