Yes, I must get to the shop for me milk. I'll put the kettle on.
Matt Henry's rapidly turning into one of my favourite cricketers.
Also, I love watching Joe Root when he's getting on with it.
It's like listening to a proper jazz player compared to everybody else just shredding scales.

It's red, round and weighs about five ounces, in case you were wondering - as Sir Viv Richards once said.
And it's coming straight at your face.

A bit surprised we didn’t bat at least until lunch. Concerned about the weather, maybe?
NZ commentator just said the English bowlers have just been a tad better. Is that so chum?
NZ have been totally outplayed

To be fair, their bowlers have generally been good. They've been let down by their fielders in the first match and undone by an innings of freakish brilliance in the first innings here.
Woakes so lucky they put the stumps where he was bowling.

There's over 2.5 days left in the Test, nobody has ever chased 450 in Test history and they're 1 down already.

I’m just extremely cautious
We're allowed to have two sets of good bowlers in the same series.Woakes so lucky they put the stumps where he was bowling.
Quality ball from Woakes, although given I slagged Crawley off for getting bowled by a similar nip-backer in the first innings, I should acknowledge that Conway really didn't play that well.

I don't know why, but that recent phrase 'nip backer' really irks me. It's up with 'have a nice rest of your day'We're allowed to have two sets of good bowlers in the same series.

Very windy and grey in Wellington. It's a bit like The Polegrove in Bexhill on a nice day.
