    Assuming the weather forecast is good, no rush to declare with three days to go. Added bonus (if unlikely needed) of cooking Zimbabwe in the field before batting.

    We have the lowest ever test total, may as try to highest ever test total as well.

      Game time in the middle is always valuable

        I reckon a humble target for day 3 should be to break the current record of 952, declare after passing 1,000 and then bowl them out before the end of the day.

          Cricket is a funny sport, most ‘experts’ would say we are so on top with zero chance of losing. So we should declare and get the game over with
          Yet in rugby you’d be up 50-0 at halftime do you stop trying and score no more points?
          Plenty of sides in the past have kept going so why shouldn’t we.

            100%. And also cricket is supposed to be a fun game to play at heart - so why not bat as long as you can...

              This would be very funny, Rachin taking Brian out on the way would also be funny

                To be fair Rugby doesn’t tend to get get rained off and called a draw though.

                  First time ever three left handed batsmen have got centuries in the same innings.

                  Looking at the comments on cricinfo everyone is saying NZ should keep batting and pointing out we’re only on day three. I agree now I think about it, may as well have a crack at some records one way or another.

                      lol Henry clean bowls one of their openers first over

                      The guys selling hotdogs would have preferred we kept batting, the test could be over by lunch

                        Henry gets another
                        He’s bowled 2.1 overs, not conceded a run and taken 2 wickets

                            I wish these new guys would stop taking wickets, it’s gonna make it very hard for Henry to get 10

                              Wish we’d just kept batting give everyone a bat, we were always going to bowl them out why not bat until after tea on day 4

                                Fat lady warming up..
                                Foulkes has a serious chance at 10 wickets on debut
                                He has 8, with 2 more available
                                Impressed how well he swings it

                                  Shame the Zimbots are just turning into dust.

                                  Whilst I always expected to beat them they were a real challenge with the Flower Power brothers, Heath Streak, Strang, Olonga.

                                  I'm almost embarrassed.

                                        Duffy really showing that he’s not a test bowler…batter maybe.

                                          New guy one away from ten on debut.

                                          Daryl Mitchell has had a nice cruisy match
