England letting this game drift.
Woakes made it drift back in.

Should be England’s but you never know. It’s been quite an enjoyable test

Stokes should just give up. Injured again

Yes. Looks like a lovely ground too. NZ is such a pleasure, especially compared to their evil cousins.

Certainly as a bowler.

He’s then taking up an all rounder spot. Needs to drop a batsman and take his place and bring in another all rounder. Or at least a bowling all rounder
Atkinson could be the all rounder, but the bowling is still weak.
Seeing the NZ number 11 playing Bashir with ease is depressing.
As per usual, England are shite at wrapping up the tail

Might as well class Bethell as an opener.

Here’s a thought. What about Stokes as opener? He’s got the all round game for it and it would be a real statement of leadership.
Stokes
Duckett
Bethell
Pope
Root
Brook
Smith
Atkinson
+3 bowlers
Or drop Bethell and add a bowler

Crawley is the one who deserves to be dropped

Bethell just scored a cracking 50 in only his second test inning!

There seems to be a lot of confusion about my post.
I just posted a possible line up including Bethell but without Crawley, and then suggested another in case more bowlers were needed.
If you want an extra bowler, he’d probably be the one who’d make way as he has a single test 50 to his name.
I wish people would read things before reacting.
I read it clearly.
I agree with another bowler so i would drop Crawley
I’d already dropped him ffs!

Do you see Crawley’s name anywhere in my team?
Oh right calm down … I wasn’t putting Stokes in at 2 anyhow.
I’m suffering from sugar deprivation. Causes grumpiness 
Have fruit.
