The train wreck that is Taylor and Kane running between the wickets has started again!
I don't understand how they are so poor together!

Glad that Cook didn't get sucked in by Broad's disbelief
I reckon it's Williamson being quicker so he over-estimates what they can do
Possibly but there was definatey no run there!
Ali gets the ball through at a fair click, I hope the Aussies watch out for him
Well, I enjoyed watching Root bat yesterday and enjoyed watching Williamson bat today. Nice to see young players so assured.
NZ well in control thanks to Taylor and Williamson.
I love Williamson, going to be a gun for a very very long time

NZ are in a good position which is unbelievable because their intent levels have been pretty low thus far.
Taylor seems to have really tempered his instincts in the last couple of years for the benefit of the side.
Williamson is just a star.

Two great days of test match cricket. If england can get a couple of wickets early on day 3 then they are right back in this match. if NZ consolidate for the first hour or so then they can bat england out of the match. got to admit, stokes/root/butler/ali showed alot of fight and won alot of respect. fantastic batting especially by root and stokes. They weren't afraid to put away the bad balls and turn over the strike which put the pressure back on NZ and as we say the nz bowlers became waaay less effective.
Haven't seen ballance bat much but does anyone know if he is always really defensive/tentative early on in his innings?

That you, Shane?
The wicket is playing pretty truly for the seamers. Stokes has looked like nothing with his bad habit of over-pitching.
I'm sure Shane is actually putting NZ's good position down to Cook's lack of aggressive captaincy
Wood is shorter than I thought he was.

That's what they all say.
Yeah he's not tall is he.
I quite liked his action - looked strong and powerful generating some pretty decent pace (over 90mph), but Michael Holding reckons he needs to make his run up longer so who am I to argue.

Some of Cook's field placings yesterday seemed odd

This is set perfectly for McCullum to have another quickfire century and take the game totally away from England.
Watching Williamson is great, such a brilliant young cricketer, still only 24 so improvement still to come. Going to enjoy being seeing him at Hobart this summer. Best young batsman in the world.

Bloody rain.
Up to 62 now. World record of 76 is in sight
In all fairness to the poms, more than half are leg byes. They've only bowled 1 no ball, and no other extras total in the top 20 all time has had a single figure no ball count.

Reckon NZ should be upping the tempo here
Wouldn't be the worst thing if they got a few overs at England late in the day
