I don't get why England are having a cry about the third ump not looking at multiple angles for the stokes catch. I mean, I actually do, they are trying to distract from a poo poo performance, but... the third ump should only use multiple views when it's not clear or some views are obstructed. From first view that was clearly not out, the balls hit the ground, so say not out. Stokes isn't a cheat either, he probably genuinely thought he caught it, no problem. But it was not out and the ump said not out. Play on. Yeah he did it quick, but rushing is only a problem if they get the decision wrong. And they didn't. The other catch earlier in the day wasn't as clear, so they looked at multiple angles. something something whinging poms something something. And the test championship should be between India and NZ imo.

They need something, anything, to distract from how poo poo they were.

I was surprised to see the soft signal overturned because the 3rd umpire usually doesn’t overturn it without conclusive proof

Me 40 minutes ago: How the hell is Guptill not dropped for this game? He hasn't had a good innings since... 2015? Me now: Fucks sake.

That NZ bowling effort reminded me of the Kyle Mills - Death Bowler era where if the opposition needed 26 from the last over Mills was your man to restrict them to 24

Guptill deserves man of the match, and Santa getting a haul of wickets helped, but Boult really stole that match back for us at the end.

I think England's problem is that we've kind of come up with a method for dealing with spin on flat pitches and slow turners (which is something we were struggling with anyway): Joe Root's "stay back so you see what the ball does, and if in doubt sweep" approach. Trouble is, it doesn't seem to be working anywhere near as well on fast turners because even if you go back you don't get enough time to adjust. The only answer is to get to the pitch of the ball.

How will the test final actual work? Because obviously the chances of a draw are high.
