It's almost a different sport, not many of our first class team will play but we are set up well to play T20 and it looks like Yorks are too. Should be a cracker if you like T20 and it has it's moments. It's much better than that 100 ball rubbish..

Vince will play for us, one of the top 5 T20 players in recent years, Dawson will play, Chris Wood will captain..

Looks a very good wicket at Trent Bridge

And that's an awful review for LBW, you can see at once it's missing by a mile. I wouldn't have even shouted for that.

England needed to win the toss. Lucky New Zealand but England are toiling. NZ 197-0. Are England really this poor? NZ on course for 400 today....

Need to see England bat but looks like a Batsmans paradise. Happens. By the way the day I use batter it the day I'll have lost the plot

4 wickets after a 300 opening partnership exerted some control at the end..

Good comeback from England, basically bowled NZ out for 120 after the 317 opening partnership, and now 153-1

Review in process as I type.

Yeah miles over as I thought

Duckett goes for 113, England scoring so quickly they're making NZ's total not as safe as it was

Nailbiting T20 Hants/Yorks, both innings almost identical. Both teams losing wickets mid innings, but Chris Wood launches a 4 an a 6 in the final 4 balls to get Hants over the line

Awful start to the day. These two should be able to take us a fair way to the NZ total if they are vagluely sensible.

wicket seems t obe deteriorating..30 degree heat on it should open it up and the ball should do more. Dead for most of day one, day two gave the bowlers a chance

Good test wicket tbf... If it takes spin day 5 then it's perfect

Yep. definitely cracking up .... if we can get to 400 that would be a very good effort. If we get a lead we're on top

Wickets be falling at Trent Bridge

NZ have gone 3-3 in the last 3 overs, 290 lead with 3 wickets remaining. think 350 is too many on this track, 325 gives us a shot

Derbyshire v Yorkshire and

Hants at Kent today in the Vitality, can Yorks get back on track? We're due a defeat after 6 consecutive wins in lottery ball

Ben Stokes retires from international cricket... Huge loss, almost impossible to replace as captain, talisman and game changer. Legend

Feels weird wanting a NZ series win but it trumps seeing England turn out again under Key and McCullum who I have come to dislike with a passion. If NZ see this out I hope they will be sacked. 6 months too late but better late than never. But knowing the ECB....

And wow, the crowd give him a standing ovation and he takes a wicket with his next ball. You couldn't write it.

Great catch from Brookes
