England strike without a run added in the first two overs after
lunch, and the balance shifts squarely back in their favour
Astle is the new batsman, who'll be off strike as that was the last
delivery of the over
32.1 Caddick to Fleming, no run, fiddles and misses outside off, Caddick
looks skyward, just can't force a wicket so far
32.2 Caddick to Fleming, no run, defends up to mid on
32.3 Caddick to Fleming, no run, wide outside off, left well alone
32.4 Caddick to Fleming, no run, leaves outside off, again

dribbles away to Tufnell at cover point

useful purpose

luckily struck outside the line of off stump, the appeal is turned
down by umpire Venkat
33.2 Mullally to Astle, no run, down the leg side, no shot required
33.3 Mullally to Astle, no run, a wild one down the leg side, Stewart
does well to dive across and keep the fort in tact
33.4 Mullally to Astle, no run, inswinger, Astle lazily strokes it away
on the off side in defence
33.5 Mullally to Astle, no run, outside off stump, chopped backward of
square and a good save by Maddy in the gully prevents Astle
getting off the mark
33.6 Mullally to Astle, one run, tucked away wide of Giddins at mid on,
they sneak through for a quick single, fielder does well to get
down and across and keep it to just the one

first run after lunch in 4 overs
34.1 Caddick to Astle, FOUR, thick outside edge and runs away down to
vacant third man, exasperating stuff for poor Caddick
concedes as many runs off that delivery as he had from his previous
72
an extra slip is brought in for Astle now, it may have been a
boundary, but it was still encouraging for the fielding side
34.2 Caddick to Astle, no run, leaves outside off
34.3 Caddick to Astle, three runs, another thick edge down to third man,
this time Maddy and Ramprakash set off in a foot face, Maddy wins
that fair destroys Caddick's parsimonious figures

34.5 Caddick to Fleming, no run, forward, pushed up to Mullally at mid

chop in on it in defence, has no idea where it went, jammed it
between his pads
35.3 Mullally to Astle, no run, another late swinger back in, struck on
the pad, Ramprakash in to field from forward short leg
35.4 Mullally to Astle, one run, pushed back up the wicket, a bit of
hesitation but they capitalise on a good quick single as it just
sneaks past the bowler
35.5 Mullally to Fleming, no run, leaves outside off stump, bounces a
couple of times through to Stewart
35.6 Mullally to Fleming, no run, good delivery, drew Fleming into a
push from his pads to a straight ball, almost a leading edge back
into danger territory

37.2 Mullally to Fleming, no run, poor ball releases a bit of pressure,

44.1 Cairns to Stewart, one run, flicked neatly off his pads into the
legside, quick and surprisingly easy single taken
44.2 Cairns to Hussain, no run, that was Cairns' slower ball, squared
him up and clearly didn't pick it. Straying a bit legside, sadly.
44.3 Cairns to Hussain, no run, wide enough of off stump for Hussain
just to shoulder arms and let it go
44.4 Cairns to Hussain, no run, that's a better line: near-yorker
length, Hussain jabs down on it
44.5 Cairns to Hussain, no run, opens the face and tries to dab it
between slip and gully - a little too square, and gully makes a
diving stop
44.6 Cairns to Hussain, two runs, strays a little on the legside, and
Hussain just flicks at it - fine leg comes squarer to field on the
ropes
End of over 45 (3 runs) England 87/3 (trail by 149 runs)

as Stewart expects, inside edge back onto the stumps

Ramprakash takes guard, surveys the field.
45.2 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, starts to come forward, then stops,
defends, pushing into the offside
45.3 Vettori to Ramprakash, two runs, bottom edged very fine
45.4 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, careful defensive, pushed into the
offside again
45.5 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, and again, controlled shot

DL Vettori 17-5-23-2 - Pavilion End
N Hussain 39* (103b 2x4) MR Ramprakash 2* (5b)
46.1 Cairns to Hussain, no run, works a good length ball on the onside
46.2 Cairns to Hussain, no run, turned a little squarer off his thigh,
straight to square leg
46.3 Cairns to Hussain, no run, short, wide, Hussain clearly thought
about cutting, then aborts the shot and basically defends with a
horizontal bat chest high outside off.
46.4 Cairns to Hussain, no run, open face to run it between slip and
gully, again too square as gully fields
46.5 Cairns to Hussain, no run, up on his toes to a slightly shorter
ball, dabs it down at his feet
46.6 Cairns to Hussain, no run, pushing forward, beats the outside edge
End of over 47 (maiden) England 89/4 (trail by 147 runs)

MR Ramprakash 2* (5b) N Hussain 39* (109b 2x4)
47.1 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, Parore takes, Ramprakash pushing
forward
47.2 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, back, defends
47.3 Vettori to Ramprakash, one run, strays legside, Ramprakash turns it
just behind square
47.4 Vettori to Hussain, one run, trademark Hussain very fine sweep,
hitting down on the ball - fine leg fields
47.5 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, waits for it, watching it onto the
bat, pushed into the offside
47.6 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, watches that go by, bat well out of

N Hussain 40* (110b 2x4) MR Ramprakash 3* (10b)
Man back for the hook.
48.1 Cairns to Hussain, OUT: dear oh dear. As transparently obvious as
they come. Cairns bangs it in short, Hussain evidently hasn't been
paying attention or thinks he can hit it over the man that's just
been put there, and holes out without Bell having to even move.
England 91/5, Partnership of 4
N Hussain c Bell b Cairns 40 (111b 2x4 0x6)
MR Ramprakash 3* (10b) CL Cairns 13.1-6-22-2 (1nb)

48.4 Cairns to Irani, (noball) one run, legside, slower ball, flicked
round the corner
48.4 Cairns to Ramprakash, no run, pushed into the offside, clear call
of 'no run'. Evidently Ramprakash thinks this is superior to the
'no' the coaching manual suggests.
48.5 Cairns to Ramprakash, no run, lets that go through to Parore
48.6 Cairns to Ramprakash, one run, worked into the onside, at least
Ramps calls 'yes' not 'yes run'.
End of over 49 (3 runs) England 94/5 (trail by 142 runs)
CL Cairns 14-6-25-2 (2nb) - Vauxhall End
MR Ramprakash 4* (13b) RC Irani 1* (3b)
Ramprakash now has to shpherd the tail home. Again. Utterly
irresponsible cricket by Hussain.
49.1 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, pushed into the offside
49.2 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, steps back and cuits, but straight
to backward point
49.3 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, defends back to the bowler
49.4 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, forward, very correct defensive shot
- his calling may not be out of the coaching manual, but his shots
are
49.5 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, defends again
49.6 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, turned off his pads just behind
square
End of over 50 (maiden) England 94/5 (trail by 142 runs)
DL Vettori 19-6-25-2 - Pavilion End
RC Irani 1* (3b) MR Ramprakash 4* (19b)
In Hussain's defence, that shot would have been 6 at Chelmsford.
But that's a pretty pathetic defence.
50.1 Cairns to Irani, OUT: remind me again why England picked Irani?
Caught on the back foot, looks as though it would have clipped off
stump
England 94/6, Partnership of 3
RC Irani lbw b Cairns 1 (4b 0x4 0x6)
MR Ramprakash 4* (19b) CL Cairns 14.1-6-25-3 (2nb)
Replay suggests Irani may have been a touch hard done by, there.
But still - the finger went up. All down to Ramps again.
Caddick to face. The last man who isn't a recognised number 11.
50.2 Cairns to Caddick, no run, beaten comprehensively outside off for
sheer pace - 88mph
50.3 Cairns to Caddick, no run, ducks a poor bouncer
50.4 Cairns to Caddick, no run, on his toes, defends a shorter lifting
ball.
Second replay suggests Irani was hit outside the line. Them's the
breaks.
50.5 Cairns to Caddick, (noball) no run, slower ball, and Caddick is
equal to it (unlike some people in games past)
50.5 Cairns to Caddick, no run, nearly another Ramps and Caddick mixup,
dabbed on the legside, messed up call, Ramps nearly run out at the
non-striker#s end
50.6 Cairns to Caddick, no run, niiice inswinger, Caddick comes forward,
plays it well
End of over 51 (1 run) England 95/6 (trail by 141 runs)

correctly
51.2 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, and again, perfectly correct forward
defensive
51.3 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, back for this one, strokes it to
point
51.4 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, another textbook defensive
51.5 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, pulled down, quicker, turns sharply
when it pitches, Ramprakash lets it go
51.6 Vettori to Ramprakash, one run, sweeps at it, gets a leading edge,
Nash hares round from midon, gets both hands to it and spills it.
End of over 52 (1 run) England 96/6 (trail by 140 runs)
DL Vettori 20-6-26-2 - Pavilion End
MR Ramprakash 5* (25b) AR Caddick 0* (6b)
52.1 Cairns to Ramprakash, no run, lets that go by past off stump
52.2 Cairns to Ramprakash, one run, worked away off his hip to midwicket
Vettori's reaction to that dropped catch is priceless: bangs the
pitch in frustration.
52.3 Cairns to Caddick, no run, pushed square on the offside
52.4 Cairns to Caddick, two runs, classy little flick in front of the
square leg umpire
52.5 Cairns to Caddick, (noball) no run
52.5 Cairns to Caddick, no run
52.6 Cairns to Caddick, no run
End of over 53 (4 runs) England 100/6 (trail by 136 runs)

MR Ramprakash 6* (27b) AR Caddick 2* (11b)
It would appear that England's number 9 is Phuil Tufnell.
53.1 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, defends
Which doesn't say much for Mulally and Giddins.
53.2 Vettori to Ramprakash, no run, another careful defensive push
53.3 Vettori to Ramprakash, one run, turned behind square, looked like
it was the arm ball

53.5 Vettori to Caddick, no run, beaten past the outside edge by the
turn
53.6 Vettori to Caddick, no run, topspinner, comes in to him, hit on the
pad outaide the line going forward. Vettori appeals more in hope
than expectation

today.
56.1 Nash to Ramprakash, no run
56.2 Nash to Ramprakash, no run, lets it go by to Parore: too wide to
interest him

forward

manual down to long off

68.2 O'Connor to Ramprakash, no run, swings in late, Ramprakash comes
forward, bat and pad together, defends.
68.3 O'Connor to Ramprakash, no run, past the outside edge, we could be
generous and say Ramprakash pulled the bat inside the line. Or
not.
68.4 O'Connor to Ramprakash, one run, turned off his pads to fine leg,
time for Mullally to face again
68.5 O'Connor to Mullally, no run, bat and pad fairly high up -
impassioned and fruitless plea for lbw from just the bowler
68.6 O'Connor to Mullally, no run, that was worth somewhat more of an
lbw shout, but Mullally was far enough forward for there to be
considerable doubt

drive, stood up straight, bat away from the body, foot nowhere
near the pitch

We would appear to have a one-idiot-pitch-invasion.
followed by a several-men-in-yellow-jackets pitch invasion to
suppress it.
71.4 Vettori to Mullally, no run, arm ball, hit on the toe, appeal for
lbw
Ah. And where there's one idiot, there's more. The yellow jackets
go to work again.
71.5 Vettori to Mullally, no run, hits bat and toe simultaneously,
dribbles along the pitch
71.6 Vettori to Mullally, no run, bat and pad, shout of 'catch it'
End of over 72 (2 runs, maiden) England 148/7 (trail by 88 runs)

MR Ramprakash 29* (87b 2x4) AD Mullally 2* (16b)
72.1 O'Connor to Ramprakash, no run, beautifully correct forward
defensive. You could make a video coaching manual from
Ramprakash's highlights reel.
72.2 O'Connor to Ramprakash, no run, pulls the bat inside the line, lets
it go through
72.3 O'Connor to Ramprakash, no run, comes across the crease, defends
right in line
72.4 O'Connor to Ramprakash, no run, wide and overpitched, Ramprakash
comes to the pitch and pushes it to cover
72.5 O'Connor to Ramprakash, no run, up on his toes, tries to force past
extra cover
72.6 O'Connor to Ramprakash, no run, *almost* yorks him, Ranprakash
tries to work it on the legside.

AD Mullally 2* (16b) MR Ramprakash 29* (93b 2x4)
O'Connor getting superb late inswing.
Two overs to go today.
73.1 Vettori to Mullally, no run, Wide, and even a bat of Mulally's
calibre knows enough to let that pass him by on the offside
73.2 Vettori to Mullally, no run, overpitched, possibly in a deliberate
attempt to tempt him, Pushed on the legside.
73.3 Vettori to Mullally, no run, defends, hardly merits the 'nice
bowling'
73.4 Vettori to Mullally, no run, forward, defends carefully, Parore
once more effusive in praising what's actually a stock ball.
Vettori fluffs the catch from the keeper, and there's brief concern
over a possibly damaged finger
And for an encore he loses his runup.
73.5 Vettori to Mullally, no run, quicker topspinner, Mullaly well equal
to it, gets the bat there.
73.6 Vettori to Mullally, no run, I hardly think a stock away spinner on
middle stump that's easily smothered by Mullally merits a 'nice
Danny', but Parore is obviously easily impressed.

legside, declines the single
74.3 O'Connor to Ramprakash, no run, slanting across him, shoulders arms
74.4 O'Connor to Ramprakash, no run, opens the face, pushes to gully
74.5 O'Connor to Ramprakash, no run, front foot across, then shoulders
arms.
74.6 O'Connor to Ramprakash, no run, turns off his pads on the onside,

the top of his backlift and watches it go by

Third slip comes back in.
79.1 Cairns to Ramprakash, no run, just pulls the bat out of the line as
it goes by the outside edge
79.2 Cairns to Ramprakash, OUT: tsk, tsk. One would tend to assume Ramps

to Parore

79.5 Cairns to Giddins, no run, good length slower ball, comes forward
and defends
79.6 Cairns to Giddins, OUT: not quite a yorker, caught in front of

Here we go...
0.1 Caddick to Horne, no run, perilously close to a legside wide first
up, Horne has nothing to do with it
0.2 Caddick to Horne, no run, that was a better ball, straight, hurries
him a little, well kept out in the end

outside offstump at one that goes away and bounces

edge by the merest fraction again
2.3 Caddick to Horne, no run, this one he leaves alone, a little wider

6.2 Caddick to Bell, no run, shoulders arms to that, wide enough to

off the splice but no short leg in the vicinity
8.4 Caddick to Horne, no run, another nice'un, follows up the
discomforting shorter one with a nice full one just outside off,
Horne wisely leaves it though

due reward for Caddick

overs
Astle joins Fleming, they may as well be opening - neither to face
a delivery yet
9.2 Giddins to Astle, no run, crowd roar as Giddins races in for a
possible team 'hat-trick', a rather good blockholer to receive
first up but Astle is equal to the task

cutting back in a bit, through to Stewart, Giddins oversteps
9.3 Giddins to Astle, no run, leaves outside off stump

unfold between the two Tests
11.1 Giddins to Fleming, no run, outside off and angling away from the
leftie, leaves
11.2 Giddins to Fleming, no run, struck on the pad, appeal from bowler

12.2 Caddick to Astle, no run, walks forward to a straight one, defends

and that is lunch
yet another bizarre session that has so often peppered this Test
series, 7 wickets going down for just 40 runs all up
yet you'd hardly label this wicket as a terror, two-paced perhaps,
but not quite anything of Satanic proportions
this pair looked fairly safe in the brief time they had to see
things through to the interval, New Zealand lead by 120 overall,
but are 4 down

CL Cairns 80* (91b 8x4 4x6) DJ Nash 10* (39b 1x4)
112 runs in the session, 3 wickets fell, all that in just 28 overs
- a rate of 4 per over, and that tended to alternate between very
little or a heckuva lot per over
Cairns sits unbeaten on 80 from just 91 balls, with 12 boundaries -
the rest of the team has just 4 between them, and is on the verge
of possibly something very special if he continues in this manner
after tea
the overall lead stands at 232, and right now Atherton and Maddy
may be wondering just how it is they aren't already out there
chasing after a target of closer to 150
play resumes in 15 minutes, join us then, the final session is sure
to be another amazing one

goodnight from CricInfo, join us at 10am Sunday
for the conclusion of this match
Match State: Stumps - Day 3
Pitch drier today, should take more spin. Some balls went through
the top yesterday.
England batsmen coming out: Thorpe (who has just announced he isn't
going to tour to RSA) will face the first ball.
27.1 Nash to Thorpe, one run, Nash starts the morning, on or around
offstump, Thorpe works it into the onside and they take a quick
single.
27.2 Nash to Atherton, no run, swinging away outside off, Atherton takes
no interest in it whatsoever
27.3 Nash to Atherton, no run, better line, Atherton on his toes pushes
to gully. Cold enough Nash hasn't removed his sweater yet.
27.4 Nash to Atherton, no run, firm push to cover
27.5 Nash to Atherton, FOUR, wide of second slip in the air: done a
little by the bounce
Back foot forcing shot.
27.6 Nash to Atherton, no run, coems across his stumps then lets that go
by, bat high in the air

Twose polishes the ball while chewing on what looks like about
three packs of gum at once.
Absolutely no surprise: Chris Cairns to bowl.
28.1 Cairns to Thorpe, legbye: one run, appeal for lbw but somewhat
unlikely given he was well outside off - runs all the way to extra
cover
28.2 Cairns to Atherton, no run, typical Atherton - soft hands kill the
ball dead, trickles behind him to slips
28.3 Cairns to Atherton, no run, drops the hands as the ball goes by -
if you're from NZ he was beaten, if you're English he left it late
28.4 Cairns to Atherton, no run, no argument about that, wider outside
off and he just lets it well alone
28.5 Cairns to Atherton, no run, watches that sail past a couple of feet
outside off
28.6 Cairns to Atherton, no run, on the stumps, Atherton just pushes it
into the offside

drops it down in front of him
29.2 Nash to Thorpe, no run, opens the face, pushes to gully all along
the ground
29.3 Nash to Thorpe, no run, hit on the pad going forward and across.

the pitch
29.6 Nash to Thorpe, no run, up on his toes a little, pushes at it, ball

30.1 Cairns to Atherton, no run, directed at the stumps, Atherton gets
well in line, middle of the bat defensive shot
30.2 Cairns to Atherton, no run, wider, Atherton doesn't bother bringing
the bat down from the top of his backlift and watches it go past
to Parore
30.3 Cairns to Atherton, no run, another good leave
30.4 Cairns to Atherton, no run, straighter again, Atherton turns it to
leg, and there's a somewhat hoarse shout of 'no!'

the way
30.6 Cairns to Atherton, no run, this one bounced a bit more, but still
not on a line that will draw Atherton into any indiscretion

GP Thorpe 30* (45b 5x4) MA Atherton 48* (103b 6x4)
31.1 Nash to Thorpe, no run, on the stumps, Thorpe turns it to leg and
is immediately sent back with a clear "waiting!" from Atherton -
not a run there.
31.2 Nash to Thorpe, no run, driven square off the back foot, beats the
diving gully but point makes a good stop and saves a single
31.3 Nash to Thorpe, two runs, that neatly bisects point and cover,
driven slightly straighter coming forward
31.4 Nash to Thorpe, FOUR, glanced off his hip right down to fine leg:
not the place to bowl with an offside field. 100 up
31.5 Nash to Thorpe, no run, lets that go by, quite late

minute

MA Atherton 48* (103b 6x4) GP Thorpe 36* (51b 6x4)
32.1 Cairns to Atherton, no run, starts this over like that last one,
quick and on the stumps. Atherton is too experienced to make a
mess of that, well behind the line and middles it.
32.2 Cairns to Atherton, no run, a little more onto leg rather than
middle stump - Atherton more squared up, defends again
32.3 Cairns to Atherton, no run, much the same as the previous ball -
ditched the off stump line in favour of making Atherton play
32.4 Cairns to Atherton, no run, back to outside off stump, Atherton is
quite happy to let that sail on past without any show of interest
at all
32.5 Cairns to Atherton, (noball) no run, overtsteps and pulls it wide:
once again Atherton just lets it go
32.5 Cairns to Atherton, no run, slower ball, but overpitched and
slightly wide off off. Atherton gets in line and defends

feet

34.1 Cairns to Thorpe, no run, slower ball, Thorpe keeps it out and then
Cairns has a word or two at the end of his follow through
34.2 Cairns to Thorpe, one run, turned off his pads behind square leg,
easy single - everyone, batsmen, fielder all jog to complete it.
34.3 Cairns to Atherton, no run, beaten outside off: Sharp is not
interested in the vociferous appeal for caught behind
34.4 Cairns to Atherton, no run, yorker, well kept out.
34.5 Cairns to Atherton, no run, short and wide, Atherton drives square,
stopped by point
34.6 Cairns to Atherton, no run, forward, defends, inside edge and the

Atherton's score has been revised to 64 - they didn't cross before
the ball hit the helmet so the run in progress wasn't completed.
HOWEVER, they weren't sent back to their original ends like they
should have been,
52.1 Nash to Caddick, three runs, cuts hard down to the cover boundary -
Harris fields, just saves four
52.2 Nash to Irani, two runs, anything you can do, mate.... almost the
same short, just not hit quite as square
52.3 Nash to Irani, no run, defends, pushes back to bowler, Nash has a
shy at the stumps, or threatens to
52.4 Nash to Irani, FOUR, of course, actually, this is how you're meant
to do it - rockets to the extra cover boundary
52.5 Nash to Irani, no run, coems across into line then shoulders arms

another tame collapse by a very poor England batting lineup, NZ
bowling was accurate and penetrative to the end
we are waiting for the pesentation party
Surely Cairns has to get man of the match, but there are men of the
series to decide
Without Cairns' wonderful knock this would have been a very tight
end
Though the first innings recovery was at least as important
Those who decided that Gatting and Gooch were the problem with
English cricket will now have to look for some more scapegoats
Willis to pick the Man of the Match
fine performance by a very good team
Congratulations to Fleming and his men on a series win
Mentions Steve Rixon, wishes him well on retirement
Sorrowfull effort by Eng
Caddick and Atherton apart
Fleming cool calm captanincy
Vettori never dealt with and a good 50
Cairns for 6 wickets and the innings of a leiftime
Chris Cairns
Cairns: been a great series, innings yesterday was fun been a great
series
Rixon picks Andrew Caddick as Englands player of the series
Caddick: been a great series for me disappointing for the team
Gooch (as Eng batting coach) picks, after mentioning Fleming Nash
and Vettori, Cairns
Cairns says a big party tonight, and tomorrow
Hussain: their tail played well
pleased with the way England fought
Our bowling was exemplary
as a batting unit we didn't perform
we are a better side with Atherton
I'm proud of my team
NZ strong team Fleming lead by example
Now Fleming
been a heck a test match
was very nervous about today
Cairns won us the match
fielding has backed the bowlers up
That's the end of the presentation
I hope Hussain isn't as proud of his team (or himself) as he says
