Full commentary
Well, what can you say about that? A desperate performance with bat and ball from England, and a clinical, professional response from the Kiwis. Jesse Ryder makes off with a souvenir stump, as well he might, as New Zealand move 2-0 ahead with three matches to come in the series
So, trouble at t'mill for England. They entered this series with high hopes, but their ambitions are now in tatters. For New Zealand, however, spirits have rarely been higher. Extraordinary, really, when you consider the chaos they were in last week. Hope you've enjoyed this massacre, especially if you're a Kiwi. We've been Andrews Miller and McGlashan, join us again on Friday for the potentially decisive third match of the series.

clipped down to third man, and now one boundary would do the trick

long-hop, pulled firmly and just short of midwicket. New Zealand living dangerously now. As well they might. It would be a shame if these two didn't see them home though

Sidebottom to Ryder, 2 runs
flogged on one knee, out to deep cover, Cook running in can't get his hands to the opportunity. Not a chance.

Sidebottom to Ryder, no run
dropped! Oh good grief. A slower ball, came out as a long-hop, spooned straight back to the bowler, who shells a sitter in his followthrough. Sums it up really
