Every day, we have a little wager with our New Zealand colleagues, five dollars each on how many runs will be scored in the day, or how many extras. That sort of thing.

Student town: Fans enjoy the atmosphere where lads dress up as ladiesIt's a lively university town, is Dunedin. I recall on previous visits students carrying their own sofas to the ground and setting them on fire at the end of the day to keep warm!
So they're now banned and instead the lads seem to dress up as women! Michael Vaughan saw a lad in town carrying an inflatable dolphin!
Growing into the role: Nick Compton proved his worthWonderful feeling of fulfilment for Nick Compton. He's proved to himself now that he deserves to be here after Andy Flower had shown confidence in him.

What England did was just bat and bat, keeping New Zealand out there for as long as possible, racking up the overs.
The second Test starts on Wednesday night UK time, and Jimmy Anderson, Steven Finn and Stuart Broad will be fresher than the home attack at Wellington.
And you need your fast bowlers at the Basin Reserve.
