Without trying to jinx anything. What is the record for most amount of runs scored in a 1st innings to then lose the test? 553 is a colossal first innings to then lose.

595 for Bangladesh against NZ in 2017. This would be fifth on the list. Highest in, or involving England though.

Nobody wants to see teams declaring on 550 runs and a draw being inevitable.

Tehehee.

What a silly game. Wonderful, but deeply silly.

Wow! Shocked.

Buffet bowling to Bairstow. If they'd just tried to get him out, they probably would have!

Missed it all. Walked through the door just after we scored the winning runs!

I'd of been interested to see the odds of England winning after NZ's first innings!

The fact we did it with over 20 overs to spare too. Bonkers stuff.

Knife edge stuff this. The form that Bairstowey is in anything around the 200-250 mark to chase is do-able.

I’d be happy chasing 300-350.

Feeling good about this. Rooty is due a score and we’ve got the most in-form batsman in the entire world ever still to come in Bairstowey

Just accidentally watched some of yesterday’s highlights and I have to say Vaughan’s commentary regarding Stokes’ dismissal was embarrassing. You could hear the co-commentator (Agnew?) trying to reel him in but he just kept going.

Can you elaborate? What did Vaughan say?

Along the lines of ‘that’s absolute rubbish from Stokes’ (which it was) but it was the tone that got under my skin. He almost sounded gleeful and it felt like there was a bit of nastiness to it. I felt that the co-commentator didn’t take kindly to it either.

Absolutely stunning result today, again. First team to chase 250+ in three consecutive tests. All played in great spirit too, clearly a lot of mutual respect out there between the two teams. Good to feel proud of the England test team again

I'm surprised NZ are the 'best team in the world'.

I still think England's batting line up is frail. I also don't think they bowl that well. Anderson and Broad are still coming to the end of their careers. Potts looked a prospect. Leach got lots of wickets through bowling straight balls!

I agree, but we still seem to have made some strides. Form like Bairstow’s only comes round every so often but Pope, Lees and Foakes have all made some worthwhile contributions, and there’s always the chance of Broad swashbuckling his way to a 50 (although like you said, he’s in his twilight). Oh also Overton. There’s some promising signs if nothing else.

Thanks. I’m on holiday, so haven’t been able to watch any of this test.

Vaughan has always had gobshite tendencies and has seemed to be even worse since TMS jettisoned Boycott, presumably trying to fill the "professional Yorkshire misery" role. Certainly not one I'm ever pleased to hear on commentary.

And that's leaving aside the Yorkshire racism stuff, which is not great at all.
