Rangeela, you were right... Nice century by Hussein... I feel really sorry for Strauss though--- 17 runs from another century on debut!!! Good play by England, but New Zealand were no where near their best. They need to regroup and try to win the next match....

What a fantastic test match. Great cricket over all 5 days, one of the most entertaining I have watched over here for a while.

New Zealand in command here. Its going to be an important first session for both sides. If England can pick up a couple of early wickets then they are back in the game. If Cairns gets going again, a big score will be on the cards.

England 248-4.........I reckon England will make about 350-380...and the NZ collapse less than 200, and England win on the last day
