SLOW IS A NO-GO WITH McCULLUM

ONE more point from the England first innings. Once Zak Crawley was out, Lees and Ollie Pope went into a massive blockathon and that just will not work under this new regime. The scoring rate dropped to below 30 runs per hundred balls and that is just not the dynamism that Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum want. It let New Zealand back into the game.
