108/6 England will still have a first innings lead.

Thats looking a good call

Yeah sorry forgot NZ batting never collapses

[Brodlach]

1/215

Rutherford 137*

[wycbloods]

2/255 at lunch on day 3

Rutherford 167*
Taylor 1*

Lead is 88. They should have it near 300 by the end of the day and have 2 days to bowl them out and chase whatever is required.

[CoverKing]

With extended sessions and the batters to come plus the two that are in, if they bat all day I reckon it could be 350 Ish. All with attacking instincts and can score quickly

With a license to hit and no pressure, McCullam could have them to at least that today

[wycbloods]

Anderson takes the wicket of Rutherford with first ball of the second new ball.

[stampy]

7/385, lead by 218, magnificent innings by rutherford

Would be an interesting conversation at home tonight in the Rutherford household.

Son: "So Dad, what you make in your Test debut?"
Dad: "Zero"
Son: [snickers] "Want to ask how many I made?"
Dad: "Phark off"

In Ken's defence his debut was in the Caribbean (Jamica I think) against Holding, Walsh, Marshall and Garner slightly different proposition to facing Anderson, Broad, Swan and whoever at the Dunedan University!!!

Nz 7/402 end of day 3

Lead of 235

[the joker]

I can't see the poms batting 5 sessions, only rain will save them now

[wycbloods]

McCullum and Martin smashing the poms with over 40 off the first 5 overs.

[the joker]

How many times over the last 10 years would you say Martin smashing them when talking about the Kiwis

[UK Fan]

Nz (dec) 9/460

Mccullum 74
Martin 41

Lead of 293

Good to see Ken Rutherford's son do really well in his debut. I reckon I've noticed a few Kiwi batsmen do very well early on in their career - sometimes their debut innings - but then not go on with it.

The one that comes to mind is the bloke who grew up in Australia, but went back to NZ to play for them having being born there. Can't remember his name.
