Realistically, New Zealand can't give England too much time. If the fifth or sixth wicket partnership is a miracle and they declare too early then they won't have enough to win. A fifth day, second session declaration is a pipe dream right now."

Anderson to Mitchell, FOUR runs
bashed through the covers! No respect for the venerable old seamer from Mitchell, hammering a length ball on the up for four

Anderson to Mitchell, FOUR runs
lofted straight down down the ground! Mitchell is itching to take Anderson here, steps out and play a princely shot, up and over mid-on for four more!

This is threatening to get tasty. This stand is worth 40 from 57, and England haven't looked especially threatening.

FOUR runs
chopped away at the top of the bounce, too wide from Leach and punished to the point boundary!

Let's call a spade a spade, England have taken an unlosable match and opened the door for their opponents. Enforcing the follow on with two 40-year-old seamers was always risky and now it's looking like madness." Umm, well, Broad is only 36. Might be best to save the "spade" talk for the post-match debrief
