    Bairstow giving it some humpty. Listening to TMS at work, and looking like I'm actually enjoying my work for once.

    Why are NZ not pitching the ball up?
    Worse than our 4 overs at the end of their innings.
    Great batting by us of course.

    This could all end in tears.

    Stokes was doing this in the first innings & tried one big hit too many.

    BUT

    If we can get quick runs then the lower order might only need to go at 2.5 - 3 an over.
    Seriously, what does it take to cheer you up? England have hit 59 runs in 4 overs since tea. How about trying to enjoy it?

    As I said, these 2 needed a century partnership or we"d be in trouble.

    Momentum totally swung. Ours to lose now. But I don't think we will. 

    What an amazing 30 mins since tea.

    Who is the vice captain now?  Broad to captain the 3rd Test?

    What’s happened to Stokes? Why is he hobbling?

    Considering he's literally just said he doesn't want to do it anymore, I'd presume not.

    Well done Bairstow!

    Good to see 3 different batsmen getting centuries in a match for us, can't remember the last time that's happened?

    Match situation should be perfect for bairstow… surely? 
    he's genuinely one of the best one day batters in the world.

    It looks like he twisted his knee as he hit the ball.

    Almost think Stokes would be better retiring hurt, Foakes could do more here and it would avoid further injury.

    He can come back if needed.

    just leave Bairstow out there on his own lol he's absolutely brutalising them!

    If you predicted 110/0 from the first 10 overs after tea, I doff my cap.

    That's ridiculous, even in ODI, even in T20. In the last session of day five.

    This is what I'm thinking a Garner-led football team will look like. Shots galore.....

    And as I type Bairstow nicks one.
