			IF England can dig in for all of today, then this Test will be a draw.  I am hoping for one anyway, it's either a draw or New Zealand win.  This is only a 2 Test series anyway, the next one is 29 May to 2 June, from Headingley in Leeds.
 There then follows 5 ODI's, and 1 20/20 match:
 
 09 June, ODI @ Edgbaston
 12 June, ODI @ The Oval
 14 June, ODI @ The Rose Bowl, Southampton
 17 June, ODI @ Trent Bridge
 20 June, ODI @ Chester-le-Street
 23 June, 20/20 @ Old Trafford

I'm all for new blood and a different approach, but this appears to be stretching the envelope a bit....

			It would be nice if we can get another couple of wickets out before lunch though

			It'd be nice if we could see the nonsense of having a third man when we have our opponents at 1, 2 and 3 wickets down with the new ball and only a handful on the scoreboard.

			198 for 9 the latest score so perhaps they have been listening to their critics.
