Think it is now slightly balanced towards England 60-40 perhaps even 70-30

Aside from the flag in the crowd and Joffra Archer on the pitch, there's another Sussex connection in the game in the form of NZ opener Jeet Raval who made 19 in his first Test match innings against England in their reply - He was playing for Cuckfield in the Sussex Cricket League 2 years ago.

There's been a couple of Albion flags in the ground and also a Union flag with BVCC HOVE on it.
Good stat, might be where he learnt to slog sweep every 4th ball Leach bowled regardless of field placings.
Boring first half hour on Day 3. Jofra is up. Can he wake the game up?

Wasted a review there for LBW, hit bat first
It's probably me, but a very sleepy start. Will give it a few more overs.
Nicholls and Watling look not bothered by our attack, not really put them under any pressure.
And 4 ****ing byes over Butler's head from Archer.

Root bowling himself. 1st ball goes for 4, 2nd ball Stokes drops an easy one. And 3rd ball OUT LBW.

96 overs, the ball is new. Why is Leach bowling?
I saw a stat last night that said of the 100 last wickets the Kiwis had taken in NZ zero had been taken by spin.

our bowlers are struggling so a NZ 1st Innings lead seems inevitable.

The last drinks break of the day at 5pm with NZ leading by 11 runs with still 4 wickets in hand. A tough day at the office in a temp of 27c. Jofra seems to have been very subdued, I reckon he’s been staying up Too late playing Fortnite.

I can't believe Root didn't bowl Jimmy.
We could be looking at the bowling equivalent of losing Strauss.
