100 needed. probably need root to get half of them. dont fancy broad and anderson out there trying to get the last 15

hopefully parkinson bats higher than broad, he looked reasonably solid in the first innings

I feel NZ missed their opportunity to put the game out of reach when they went from 251/4 to 251/7 in three balls, to make matters worse, Blundell doesn’t stick around and gets out for 96.

It’s been a great Test, England should wrap this up easily in the morning.

This kid Root looks like a good player, England should consider making him captain one day.

Getting to see the win and Root's century plus a full refund of the tickets to cover the bets because <15 overs bowled has to have been the best possible result from that position.

pre match bollocks. ray charles here doesn't give one **** about cricket

the home of cricket and a glorious english summer

we won. big cheer for root's century/root's 10000th run

bigger cheer for the stadium announcement of a full refund

clearly our lads didn't want any part of a new ball

get off the field.

saw a weird stat saying that root achieved his 10000th at the exact same age as cook down to the day - 31 years and 157 days.
