272-5.

Bairstow tried to cut a straight one and nicks it to the keeper.

136 from 92 balls.

Why does the wicketkeeper celebrate like that every time - really annoying - you’ve lost the game you knobend.

Surprised he didn't review it  😂😂😂

I think Bairstow will keep his place for the next Test now

Wow a privilege to watch this English batting , rare to see such brutal ferocity.
Hope Stokes is not to badly hurt.
Edit. Have always rated Bairstow - a proper test batsmen imo.

The draw is at 1%.  Because, you know, it changes as the score changes.

Most runs in a test match in England

Most boundaries in a test match ever, anywhere. 

Bonkers.  The same ground and teams as the start of the white ball revolution.

This is the way to play the game.

A packed crowd who’ve got in for free and seen a brilliant day’s cricket.

Will they be back? Too right they will! 

Test cricket is the best and is this is a great advert for the game.

It’s also being played in the right spirit. 

Brilliant!

Fake news from ESPN a Leeds test had more runs.

Have they won yet? Get a move on. Grumble, grumble.

kentaddick

over 1500 runs scored over a full 5 days, all results possible right til the end. All scored at over 4 an over. Who said test cricket is dead?

Callumcafc

299-5 from 50 overs. Madness.

What a knob.

That is incredible.  What an exciting couple of years this could be!!

Callumcafc

160-1 from 16 overs after the tea break.

North Lower Neil

Get in!  Great stuff.

Callumcafc

Two wins in two feels very good. Still parts of the team need work but hopeful we have a half decent chance at a decent couple of years.

Weegie Addick

Great entertainment!

Incredible only one word for that …. best test win ever ..

Manic_mania

That felt a bit like going in at half time 2-1 down and then coming out second half and scoring 7

Remarkable win for England. There can't be many times a team scores over 550 in the first innings and loses the match. Bairstow and Stokes superb today.

Superb - Test Cricket is the best form of the game by a country mile - leave it alone

What a fabulous Test Match

Kudos to both sides (although NZ fucked it up after tea with their bowling tactics)

I don’t like cricket - I LOVE IT 

Redmidland

What a fantastic win, a great advert for Test cricket, well done to both sides for an amazing game.

We had to kill Test cricket in order to save it  

oohaahmortimer

If I was still gambling I’d have lost two houses on the last two games …
never saw that coming
absolutely wonderful 
glued to it all day 
Test Match cricket is what I live for 
(now that Charlton are complete and utter shit)!

Manic_mania

someone on BBC TMS texted in at 11 AM today and predicted we would hit the winning runs at 17:23 - Nostradamus!

Only watched on TV.  But that game had everything.  Terrific atmosphere as well. 
Nottingham the place to be at the moment.

Covered End

Well played England, superb.
