      Sadly Friday's weather has ruined a good game of cricket, where New Zealand have been well on top, most of the game.

      England right to shut this game down in my opinion, but only because of the ability of their lineup rather than the situation of the match at tea.

      There's not much depth in this lineup and not many fast scorers in the side.

      Spot on, plus can you imagine if an already frail line up just folded like a pack of cards

      Yep, no chance really without Buttler/Stokes/Bairstow to move things along a bit.

      Fair play to Williamson and New Zealand for dangling the carrot though, plenty of teams wouldn't have done it so early.

      Hopefully we get a full 5 days in the Second Test.

      Grim few hours for England this.

      A few looking well out of their depth in test cricket.

      Fight back is on 300 in first innings always makes for an interesting game.

      Need to finish this tail off.

      Good side this New Zealand side, probably their best that I can remember, such a good bowling attack

      England blooding a few youngsters that will benefit down the line but they aren’t at this kiwi sides level currently

      Sibley is sh*te though and the middle order lacks any real experience apart from Root.
      Crawley, Pope and Lawrence have talent but them at 3,5 and 6 currently makes us look like a side with a real soft centre

      Really hope they beat India in the test championship next week

      Aye we are on the brink here of a 9 wicker defeat id suggest.

      Need something from both of these just need to keep dulling the ball try and get a 100 partbership for some quick runs from the lower order.

      But basically only an outside chance now.

      Grim middle order which was the exact reason we didn't try and win last week.

      Truly awful display by the batsmen, another batting collapse, after the England bowlers had worked hard, to keep New Zealand under 400, trying to keep England in the game.

      Too much tinkering from England. IPL was cut short so with Stokes out I think Buttler or Bairstow had to play to add a bit of experience into the team. Going without a spinner in either match seems a bit daft too.

      As for New Zealand, they look an excellent side and I can see them running through India next week given they've had these two tests to settle in to English conditions.

      Anybody else think the rules of the 100 are unfair?
      If a bowler is bowling good deliveries and the batters can’t score he can bowl another 5.
      But the batters cant elect to keep a bowler on if they are smashing him round the park.

      The Hundred needs binning off big time.

      I don’t really understand what it brings that T20 doesn’t given that some elements of it are still complicated to a first time watcher.

      Should have just revamped the domestic t20 to something like the IPL or the BBL.

      Bit of a joke the English test side these days. Attentions well and truly focused else where.

      Amateur stuff and painful viewing.

      The English game eating itself alive with a diet of limited overs biff and baff.

      All money motivated of course but I can see the English public no longer buying test match tickets in time.

      Root has given us a squeeze despite none of the hundred players playing with him.

      Glad to see Moeen back i don't think you can replace Stokes with 1 player but Moeen is the only player who can give the side balance in this scenario.

      The team however is in a poor state with injuries absence and general apathy towards the test game.

      Ali has done nothing to suggest getting a recall


      Slapping a white ball about in manufactured franchise cricket isn’t base for them to be included in the red ball team


      The selection policy is shocking


      Players like Leach and Overton just sat there all summer doing nothing watching players come and go - if they have no intention of playing them then let them go back to the counties that are missing them

      Only reason he is playing is because he gives balance to a side that needs an all rounder desperately.

      In my opinion he was shipped off into the franchise teams far too quickly and needs to be kept around the first class game.

      The tempo of our batting is all wrong. We go from Burns and Sibley digging themselves a trench and only when Root comes do we start rotating the strike. After him we have players who's defensive technique is more than questionable.

      Dont think Moeen should be walking off for that, made the umpires mind up should have stood there and waited.

      Got to fight for his place in this side.
