There's no Pietersen for a start.

Not an ideal situation with Bell being sick as it looks like he will now have to bat at No.7 or lower,depending how well we bat.

Close Day 3 - England 2nd Innings 180-6 lead NZ by 205 runs

After Trott & Root put on 123 for the 4th wicket,England loss 4-12 late in the day to leave the match once again in the balance after looking on top.

You would think the match is very much in the balance, but the bookies still have England as big favourites to win at 4/11. New Zealand can be had at 3/1 or 10/3 and the draw is 8/1 or 9/1.

Broad's just blown away New Zealand's batsmen. with figures of 5-22.

New Zealand still need another 210 with only 4 wickets remaining

This morning definitely belonged to Broad.

This morning Broad scored 79% of England's runs & 83% of their wickets.

England wrapped up the win with a run out in the middle of a run of errors. Broad finished with 7 wickets.

New Zealand were blow away,68 all out.England win by 170 runs in what had been a close match.

Broad hit very good line and length today. Object lesson in how to bowl on that wicket.
Great stuff .
