New Zealand trail England by 274 runs with 6 wickets remaining
Early wickets for England, but that was what I expected.
Opener Latham still there on 54..
Can still go either way..

Tea - New Zealand trail England by 190 runs with 4 wickets remaining
Spinner Leach finally got opener Latham for 83.
New ball just taken but little effect on de Grandhomme (27) or Sodhi (16) who are managing well.
Should be about another 39 overs play today but the pundits reckon it will be less than 20 before bad light stops the show..

Well it all fizzled out into a draw.
Far too much short stuff from the England quickies, butter fingers from the fielders when a half decent spin bowler (Jack Leach) managed to do something with the ball.

A very disappointing Test outing down under for England &, sadly, only looking to get worse in the short term..
None of the batsmen did themselves proud & the bowling was never much to write home about either.
Root as captain has let his batting go & has never done anything as the boss to suggest he should keep the role...
