Bairstow keeps his place now.
What an innings and the last hour just brilliant. Even stood up and applauded him off in my front room.

That said it actually just highlights what a special talent he is in one day cricket as that was an innings played in one day mode. It doesn't change his inability to play the straight ball against high class test attacks.

Crawley averages 7.8 against New Zealand in 10 innings....... The irony being I have had one bet on this series so far and it was Crawley top scorer in that first test, when everyone collapsed behind him.

Well, that was simply extraordinary. One of England’s greatest ever test wins. Absolutely brilliant.

Well, that was simply extraordinary. One of England’s greatest ever test wins. Absolutely brilliant. Superb win. Without their enforcer Jamieson bowling NZ simply ran out of steam and ran out of ideas. Lovely that it's not us on the receiving end for once. I'd still swap Crawley for Compton next test though........

Certainly didn't expect that after New Zealand's first innings.
Great effort and superb win.

NZ posted the 3rd highest 1st innings score for a losing team in test match history, taking over from England in 2006/07 in Adelaide when we declared on 550 and still lost!!

Extraordinary!! I’m currently in San Diego but just managed to tune in for the post tea carnage. What a great game test cricket is, just wish I’d seen it!

Gutted I haven’t managed to watch any of it today but what a win that is, can’t wait to watch the highlights later.
Some great performances on both sides but I thought Boult was absolutely brilliant. In a game dominated by the bat to take 8 wickets was a phenomenal effort and he looked a threat every time he ran in to bowl.

Bairstow back in the good books again? Cracking game of red ball cricket at Edgbaston currently, Warks v Lancs. Lancs chasing 329 to win, four overs left today, last day tomorrow. Whoever wins this will put themselves in a good position in the title race. Ex-Lancs Alex Davies 121. All results remain possible. You can't beat the long form of the game. For those keeping an eye on Parkinson, match figures of 34 4 121 1, but doesn't look like a turner so far.

Wow what a win, gutted saw none of today through work. When I heard Root had gone cheap I really thought we would just try and bat out a draw. Fair play Bairstow that sounded somert special. This is what makes test cricket, I went day one and walking out of Trent Bridge in a drunken state I never thought it possible England could win this match. As a betting man I wouldn't have contemplated backing England on Friday night

I think Rob Key might have something to do with it... Not sure, as the obvious replacement is another Kent man! I think it’s more to do with England valuing continuity in selection highly which means we continue too long with players that clearly don’t have what it takes. I think it's more than just the Kent connection, as Key seems to have been mentoring him since he was a teenager. wisden.com/series-stories/england-v-pakistan/key-i-didnt-think-crawley-could-play-as-well-as-thatI'm glad I was only half right today. What an outstanding game of cricket. I really wish I'd got in on the free tickets.

Potentially another fantastic finish tomorrow. 2 evenly matched sides I'd say, but that superb knock from Al Davies has put Warks as favourites. You never know though, good weather forecast again tomorrow and the surface is deffo still good for batting. One thing I think the ECB have got right this summer is the request for flatter pitches and more carry for the quicks. Also brings the spinners into play on days 3&4. Proper cricket 🏏

I missed the first 15 minutes after tea. When I turned on and saw the score, I had to check that my watch hadn't stopped. 133 runs in an hour after tea in a Test match is an unbelievable scoring rate. I think everyone who went to Trent Bridge today certainly got their monies worth! Stokes and McCullum have certainly set the bar at an insanely high level. It looks like being interesting and exciting times ahead.

Fantastic day to be at my first day of test cricket. Found myself sat in amongst a few Stoke fans too unknowingly.
That innings from Bairstow was just about as good as it gets really.
This new era ain’t half bad is it?

Days like this don't come around very often, I was fortunate enough to see the Stokes miracle run chase against the Aussies live and sporting occasions just don't get any better. And as you say this one was free which is an added bonus.........

Proper cricket 🏏 Yes, I thought you might have been! Edgbaston pitches were like that last season. Many of our games ended in the last session on day four which is ideal as far as pitch preparation is concerned. Perhaps the ECB noticed and approved? If Lancs do win tomorrow I think it'll give them the boost to go on and win the title. If the Bears win it brings us back into the race, not really got going this year, but Norwell and Woakes back may help.

County cricket is great value for money It was a great game, all four results still possible as the overs ticked away in the final session of the last day, just what four day cricket should be. Congrats to Luke Wells on a match-winning knock. That win puts Lancs firmly in the title chase and probably does for Warwickshire's hopes of defending it!

We’ve a wee switch to white ball cricket for the coming few days, which got me thinking about what is our best 11 for the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.
Roy Buttler Bairstow Livingstone Morgan Stokes Ali Curran (Sam) Rashid ??????? ???????
9 names pretty much pick themselves - that top 8 is a frightening batting line up.
I’m struggling to think who takes up the two spaces for quick bowling, assuming Archer isn’t fit. There’s quite a few options… Wood, Topley, Woakes, Willey, Jordan, to name a few any of which would do. I’d probably go for Topley and one other.
What do you guys reckon?

It’ll be interesting to see how Morgan goes this summer, he hasn’t scored any meaningful runs since the 2019 World Cup. If he doesn’t make a contribution over the summer his place has to be questioned with so many good players waiting in the wings. As for the bowling, our spin options are looking very strong with Rashid, Mo and Livingston. The pace bowling is the concern though with our death bowling a huge Achilles heal. If there’s no Archer I think I’d go with Wood, Woakes and Topley.

Tymal Mills seems to have worked his way back into the England setup so I'd say he'll be close. Another name I'll throw into the ring...Richard Gleeson 👀

3rd test squad...same as Trent Bridge except Jamie Overton is called up for the first time replacing Matty Parkinson.
So looks like they are sticking with Leach despite his underwhelming efforts in the series so far. Can't see Overton playing but I suppose Potts could be left out after the last 2 for Overton's extra pace?
