249 for 9 right now. The chase is on Watson.... :Jedi:
I'd be quite surprised if we chased 300. Not at all like the previous game when there were 2 1/2 days left to chase 272....

Not convinced Stokes is getting this right. Short stuff isn’t working.

I think we will try but I suspect NZ big favourites now.

Got a bit ragged here. NZ taken the initiative. Stokes got it wrong this morning.

Yeah - felt like a little too much short stuff last night as well, when "top of off" would've been better. A bad place would be 170-6 just after tea...

Crawley being Crawley. Time to give Ben Compton a go.

Crawley? Starting us off with a duck. Not exactly starred has he?

132 for each of the next two sessions to win. A tall order when written like that. Only on if these two get going and really up the rate. Lose a wicket or two early next session and it’s going to be tough going to win or even draw.

Apparently, he's edged 8% of all the deliveries he's faced in Test match cricket.

It's time for someone else to have a go.

We don't count Crawley against the wicket count anymore...so we're still for none. :D

Yeah not looking too clever this. Lost the momentum this morning. Need to dig in now but I’m not sure it’s where our talents lie.

That tail's looking lengthy if they get through Bairstow and Stokes. Match is here with these two/Foakes...

Well they're not going to be out there longer than necessary! Just what you need in a run-chase... :-)

Good knock by Johnny B.

If England do chase this and I’m still not exactly hugely confident but if they do it will be one of the most remarkable chases ever. Nearly 300 on day 5 with more than an hour in the field at the start. Hmm.

Jonny has basically done the heavy lifting since tea.

What do you do here? If I were Stokes I'd be looking to play properly and leave Jonny to it for as long as he can then look to bat it out with Foakes. Run rate v doable playing normally.

But I'm not Ben Stokes :lol:

Stokes can’t move. I think he has little choice. Can’t bend his knee properly.
