Could England steal this? If they can bowl NZ out with a lead of around 400 then could they see that out? The likes of Cook, Compton, Trott and Bell are all capable of big scores.

I'll be very, very surprised if England manage to pull this one off now. It looks a long, long way away.

Well whaddya know.

Went to sleep after Root went. Woke up and checked the score at tea and opted to go back to sleep fearing the worst. Which I'd stayed up for the Monty show now.

That dive from the Montster.... Deary me.
Tell you what, it's hard to watch even knowing the outcome. Good battling stuff, but we've been outplayed through pretty much the whole tour.
