New Zealand Tour of England - 2022

I think if this pair doesn't give in under next 15 minutes there's no way NZ can comeback in this game. Root & Stokes have delivered once again. Stil the fightback have been great from NZ!

Not enough attention on how bad of a captain Williamson is when it comes to spinners. He's been captain for 39 Tests, and his spinners have taken only 105 wickets between them because he simply doesn't trust them to bowl

You actually got on the Cricinfo commentary

From abroad, I can't understand the selectors hopes for Pope, surely Brook comes in now. Only problem with that is he's been playing 20/20 the last week or so.

From England, we don't get it either

Reckon Ben Foakes might be wearing the biggest chest guard I've ever seen today.

Knew this was coming. Alright 2nd biggest. Foakes wins worst fitting though, its more of a hip guard

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

Joseph Edward Root MBE. That's all.

Shame that Root's kryptonite, Colin de Grandhomme got injured. Mightve been a much closer match had Root been out earlier. Foakes has played a brilliant supporting knock, taking the pressure off Root in their partnership.

Gotta respect Root for carrying this shite English test batting lineup for a few years now. 10k runs well deserved. Has turned his conversion rate around in the last 2-3 years too.

Pope, Crawley gotta go. Brook and Haines are worth a shot.

It would have been much less close if Root had been out sooner. England would have been rolled

 

[Ed Smith]

No way we chase it. Not a tiny chance in hell

Typical England. Can't even rely on them to let you down

Feel like the game turned one the position of Colin de Grandhomme's feet in the third and fourth innings.

Very good win though. Root still holding the team together with his bat.
