Right now we need a Monty Panesar defensive master class.

Well I won't begrudge NZ a victory here - they have been excellent. Gives England a kick up the arse as well.

Who?
Don't worry, not you.
I am interested who you think are 'gutless pricks'... presumably some or all of the England players/coaches/selectors/administrators?
I'd say Ian Bell in particular after the way he got out, especially as he is supposed to be a senior team player, and especially after his 6 crap scores in the past 7 innings of his. I'm also mildly annoyed at Joe Root for saying they could do something special about getting 400 today. He's right - our batting has been spectacularly special.
The way we've been playing, I'm not sure that's what we need.
See my previous comments about Ian Bell... and Root is a young and enthusiastic cricketer... not sure either of them qualify as 'gutless pricks' though.
Broad drags one one from Williamson... 188-8
No, I'm not saying Joe Root is. But Ian Bell - sorry, too many recent innings where he hasn't stood up to be counted, and got out to gutless, thoughtless shots. Sorry, he doesn't impress me.

strong and stable with me, or...
I don't think England can win from here now and should really just try to see out the draw.
Buttler with a SIX... England 200-8
