england were rather sloppy in the field and NZ were rather ruthless with the bat.

i'm still unconvienced that broad is anywhere near in good enough form to play test cricket, despite those blasted stats that moores banged on about.
anderson failed to swing it in favorable conditions and when he fails we fail, unfair burden to place on his shoulders.
wood looked promising bowling with venom up at 93mph oversteped on his first test wicket and during his spells found out about the step up in quality from CC to TC.
stokes is definately a batter who bowls and when he is picked for that he is a very useful option, today he was ineffective but nothing terrible just found no way through.
moeen is not a frontline spinner, he gets good revs on the ball and is good when he gives it flight which also gives him turn, but he prefers to bowl it flat and all kanos and taylor did was rock onto the back foot and work it. dont get me wrong he's better than a second spinner, but if he is batting at 8 he has to bowl better i'm afraid, in my eyes 8,9,10,11 are bowlers with 8 and 9 being more than capable batters.
