You would think a pink ball would be easier to see. Broad castles the NZ top order inc. Williamson quite extraordinary. Looks great out there.

2nd and last test in this series against NZ. You certainly get a game with this bazball line-up. 210 runs to win with 9 wickets on the last day it could go either way, we are 1 up. Stokes declared earlier than he needed to, and followed on unwisely, he could not bowl himself. We will need a captain's knock I feel.

Harry Brook will do it on his own the form that he's in

Your bowlers, especially the pace need time to recover. 210 with 9 wickets should be a doddle if form is anything
I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything. |

232 test matches have been lost by the side following-on and only 3 test matches have been won (including England v Australia, Headingly 1981 of course). I knew about the '3' and I looked up the other two stats.

New Zealand's was the 12th highest follow-on score in test match history i.e. in the 295 matches where the follow-on has been "invited".

When test cricket is good it's the best. Unforgettable match for NZ. Their 1981 moment. Great for test cricket and praise to NZ but I bet Stokes is kicking himself.
