And the (brilliant) madness continues with a declaration out of nowhere with essentially less than a days play.

And it makes sense .

I am gonna watch til lunch then its bed for me, hopefully we will have them 4 down by then.
 
The Burnley Express must be loving it, taking more wickets and top of the ICC rankings at 40, his beloved Arsenal top of the league, as well as the club who also play at Turf Moor like he did.
 
Weather stays fine be another test match won quite remarkable!

Can’t help but look forward to the ashes and how the Aussies will deal with us!? I think it be use there fastest bowlers and use a lot bouncers against this England side oh and bowl wider than any other team has bowled against us! Will it work? No idea!? Can’t wait..

England have won this test series 2-0, does anyone know how many 50 over one day matches are they going to play ?

None in New Zealand.

They play 2 ODI's and 3 T20's in Bangladesh starting next week and don't play again until 1st of June in a one off test match Vs Ireland
 
Southee is such an overlooked six hitter. Yesterday he overtook MS Dhoni in Test matches and he's now two sizes away from overtaking Pietersen and three from Flintoff and Hayden.

Edit - Take one off the above comment. He's hitting sixes quicker than I can type!

I might be wrong but I can’t see NZ getting 350+ runs, and even if they did England would chase them down.

I agree with you, but I just think enforcing the follow on here could very unnecessarily let NZ back into the game.

With 2.5 days still to play, there's no rush to end it. What would've been wrong with batting for 60 overs to give us a lead of 500.

That would've put the game to bed and we'd still have 2 days or so to bowl them out

NZ 200/3 is an amazing effort after there first innings, they could reach 350+ runs and set England 150/160 to win but being realistic I reckon England bowl em out for 280 and chase down 75 runs, anything else is highly unlikely but you never know.
 
Making them follow on us the positive move but the only way for New Zealand to win the game! If we choice go bat we’d be around 500 Lead now and New Zealand no chance of winning! Now they do have a sniff! Still expect it to win and should chase anything around 250!

So you think NZ will get around 500 ?
