During this weekend , I've became a huge fan of Cricket and I will follow some games from time to time maybe even search for pitches in my country where I could play Cricket. The games require a lot of concentration , skill and most important a viable strategy that needs to be adapt after almost every hit. It may look simple at the first sight but more and more looking at the game , I've understood that its really a complex game and I love it.
England - New Zealand
Day-4
Our expectation was that the partnership between Joe Root and Foakes would be long. But it did not happen. At the start of the fourth day, Joe Root returned to the dressing room with 516 runs. He was able to collect 176 runs. And England lost two valuable wickets of Stuart Board and Foakes by just 11 runs. At the moment England has lost 8 wickets for 527 runs. England is still 26 runs behind. My doubt is whether the England players will be able to collect 26 runs.
England failed to take the lead by exceeding the target of 553 runs. England started the day at 473, and at the start of the fourth day, they lost 5 wickets for just for 66 runs. I didn't think England would start the fourth day so badly.Day-4

On the other hand, New Zealand lost the wicket of one of their key batsman Tom Latham early in their innings. Did the pitch turn from a batting-friendly pitch to a bowling pitch? It seems so. England may win this match if they do not bat responsibly with New Zealand batsmen.
The performance of the England players on the fourth day has disappointed us all. However, the pitch is now helping the bowlers a lot. New Zealand players are having a lot of trouble collecting runs. At the end of the fourth day New Zealand's collection 224/7. there are still experienced players like Darly Mitchell at the crease. However, my guess is that New Zealand will lose all their wickets in 10-15 overs tomorrow. And they will be able to deliver targets like 285. The last day is going to be exciting.

New Zealand's player is batting well enough. They lost the first wicket by 4 runs. And in the second wicket partnership, they scored 100 runs. Devon Conway returned to the dressing room after collecting 52 runs. However, Henry Nicholls was out after collecting only 3 runs. At the moment, New Zealand's collection 128/3. This match seems to be a draw.
Kiwis has already lost their first 4 wickets. Now Daryl Mitchell and Tom Blundell batting in the pitch. This match will end as a draw if they can make a strong partnership like the first innings. The result of the match will be different if they fail to do that and get out quickly. Seems like the pitch is helping the bowlers now. We have seen the fall of 9 wickets today. The draw isn't guaranteed yet.New Zealand lost their fifth wicket for 176 runs. At the moment their collection is 196/5. The match will be drawn if they do not lose any more wickets today and can survive at least 20 overs at the crease tomorrow. New Zealand has already taken a lead of 210 runs. If they are able to take a lead of 300 then England will only play to draw. However, if the Kiwis lose two more wickets today, the match will be under England's control.

Three quick wickets and now suddenly there is a chance that New Zealand may take the lead for first innings. England is now at 527/8, and are trailing by 26 runs against New Zealand. In all probability, the match will end up as a draw, but it will be interesting to see who will get the lead. Michael Bracewell has picked up two crucial wickets, and it validates the decision by the New Zealand selectors to include him instead of Ajaz Patel in the playing XI. The only chance for a result will occur if the England bowlers are somehow able to bowl out New Zealand by today.
BTW, Jack Leach is not that bad with the bat. Will he be able to add some 20-30 extra runs along with James Anderson?

It was actually really amazing to say that England could not take a lead. Now New Zealand has scored 104 runs for 2 wickets. I think they are in a good position right now to set a big score. And let's not kid ourselves because we all know that this match is going to end in a draw. I really thought that England would be able to take the lead in this match.
Young is batting really well right now for New Zealand and New Zealand recently lost a wicket. Nicholls is new to the crease and they are in a rebuilding state in this innings right now.

Newzealand got a lead of 14 runs and have lost the wikcet of captain Tom Latham. My idea is that Newzealand will try to score runs quickly today and will allow England to bat on fifth day. That's the only option left for England to win the game. England on the other hand have saved the match.

You know it's a flat deck when Ollie Pope scoring a daddy hundred.
Traditional wisdom says that this match should end up as draw but at the same time we have witnessed some unexpected 5th day result, similar to Eng vs Ind, it was also dead wicket but India managed to find reverse swing so i'm open for this scenario too, if by any chance it happens then this dull test could turn into fine thriller. I know hoping too much.

I don't think we will see any batting disaster in this match. England will start batting on the fourth day. Experienced batsmen from both Root and Foakes are at the crease. So I think England will be able to bat at least 50 overs today. And if England is able to bat for two sessions today, then the chances of a draw in this match are the highest. However, if England lost all their wickets in the first session today, then maybe this match will not be a draw.

It's the end of day 3 and Joe Root has scored 163 runs and only played 200 balls. I think it's a pretty good strike rate even for one-day internationals.
People will obviously try to think otherwise but I think this match is going to end in a draw. I don't think England is going to declare without having a lead and that is obviously going to kill this test match for a draw. And England also has five wickets in hand. They are also trailing by 80 runs. So, I am not going to be surprised if they actually end up playing till the last session and declare just before the ending of day 4.

At this rate, if England bat for another 60 overs, then they will score another 250-300 runs to the total. That will take their total to the vicinity of 700 plus runs. First of all, they don't have enough wickets in hand (Ben Foakes is batting as of now, with Matthew Potts and Jack Leach to follow). And even if they don't lose any wickets, I am sure that Ben Stokes will announce the declaration much before the tea break. The run rate is above 4 runs per over, and I won't be surprised if they step up the scoring rate even further for the 4th day.

During the session 1 New Zealand would've taken few wickets. Somehow Matt Hentry took a wicket, but the next batsman on the crease Joe Root is give good support to Ollie Pope who is at 80+ runs facing 144 balls. Here ollie Pope have slowed down his scoring whereas it looks like Joe Root have taken the chance of making runs. Yesterday the chance of match ending in a draw was low and now this has increased above 65%

Joe Root doesn't look like playing test cricket. He is scoring like playing in an ODI. As of now Joe Root have managed to score 58 runs of 72 balls. Joe Root have planned to score 500+ runs by the end of today's session. In the first match until last moment there were discussions whether the match will have a result or end up with a draw. The same scenario can happen in this match.
Since the pitch is batting friendly, Joe Root is now batting like the ODI format. Root's strike rate is now over 81. He scored 163 runs off 200 balls. As a result of responsible batting by Joe Root and Ollie Pope, England's collection at the end of the third day was 463/5. There is no expectation to see the result of this match. Undoubtedly this match is going to be a draw. My guess is that England's players will be able to bat for at least two session tomorrowEngland are now just 80 runs behind New Zealand. like Joe Root and Ben Foakes experienced batsmen are still at the crease. Ben Foakes is a very experienced and responsible batsman, he has scored 24 runs from 70 balls. And I am hopeful that he will be able to play better in the days to come. England will be able to easily cross the 553-run mark. And will provide a lead of at least 100 runs.

Definitely a draw this time. We are in 3rd session of Day 3, England trial byn198 runs and still 6 wickets in hand. They will comfortably chase this by day 4. Its a good track for batting and we saw centuries from both sides batsmen. Good start for Stokes as a captain.

Yeah.. watching on SONY LIV as of now.. both the batsmen look very comfortable against the pace of Southee and Boult. And New Zealand don't have a spinner for this match, after replacing Ajaz Patel with Matt Henry. Joe Root is yet to bat and there is a good chance that England will bat for all the three sessions of play today. If that is the case, then I don't think that it will be possible to get an outcome other than draw for this match. Not much in this pitch for the pacers and the spinners (Leach and Root) didn't received any assistance either.
They should have included someone that could spin the ball in wickets like these and somehow Matt Henry managed to break the partnership as Alex Lees edges one in the slips and Joe Root is now in the crease and on papers England have a great batting line up with Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Foakes yet to come out to bat and if they are able to perform then the match would end up in a draw.Yeah.. watching on SONY LIV as of now.. both the batsmen look very comfortable against the pace of Southee and Boult.
