It is evenly balanced at this time. If Kiwis can put around 360-370 then it will almost pver for Brits
F&B the pitch is becoming more difficult to bat. NZ lead is already over 250. I think any lead over 300 will be a winning one.
^ Bear in mind that Kiwis are two bowlers short

but the same attack bowled England out for 319. unless you mean to say that the Kiwis have lost two bowlers during the course of the match?

Samb bhai, he was busy touring Pakistan in his recently won Imran Khan shirt. :D
England won by 4 wickets. Poor batting by NZ in the morning and the loss of their two bowlers contributed to their downfall. Hats off to England for a 3/0 whitewash. :k:
Cairns deserved 2 b a MOM! he picked 9 wickets but it was given to Graham Thorpe..
