Whatever the approach, England are highly unlikely to win the ashes.
England's openers have done well, as have the young spinners.
Middle order batting has been a disaster.
400 runs from two innings on a flat wicket here is just pathetic.
Currently it's like watching the Black Knight in the Holy Grail, nay a 500 first innings lead is of no concern....
Aussie NZ game down to the wire.
Aussies 5-209
They need 70 runs to win & NZ need 5 wickets. Time not an issue.
Marsh out on 80.
That now exposes the tail. NZ must like their chances now…
ETA shite… 7 down as I typed this.
Cummins and Carey bring home the win with a 50 run partnership . Carey finished on 97 n.o.
What a great series and the Black Caps could have won it if a few things went their way.
The Aussie selectors need to change the batting line up and replace Smith and Khawaja.

Warwickshire among those getting burned.
I don't care much for cricket series that have an even number of games, so I'm pretty happy that we now have a three match series of T20 games against Pakistan.
The Second one is at Edgbaston on Saturday, and the weather forecast is decent.
Ben Stokes bowled 10 overs on the bounce yesterday, for Durham against Somerset.
He got 4 for 23.
8 for 77 for the match.
In other news: it's raining.
