Pathetic. If Harmison is a test-match bowler, then so am I.
I felt very sorry for Ryan Sidebottom...

Harmison and Hoggard have been dropped for the second test with Broad and Anderson coming in.I'm not in the least surprised by Harmisons omission but I'm a bit surprised by Hoggards.

England well on top after day 2.
All out for 342 but then New Zealand were bowled out for 198, with James Anderson taking 5-73.
Cook and Vaughan safely saw out the last 5 overs before the close with England 4-0.

If we can build up a lead of at least 400, that is only 200 runs needed from this innings then we should comfortably win, but as we know anything can happen with England!

Heaven forbid, but does anyone else think England can still blow this?

England could still lose if there bowled out for 150 or something cant see it though ideally they would want to set 380 -400

That's a good target to aim for though. As I write this, Cook moves onto his 50. England 106-1, 250 ahead. (Lunch)

England close on 277-9 and will probably declare with a lead of 421. I'd have liked to have seen them go through to lunch tomorrow and maybe they would've batted on a bit longer if Collingwood, who hit his second 50 of the match, had still been there, but there doesn't seem much point with Panesar and Anderson.
Unfortunately for England, Anderson hurt his ankle playing football after the close of play and may not be able to bowl...

Vettori out for a duck, 2nd over of the day.
Sidebottom gets the wicket, Cook with the catch.
259-7 now.
