3 (8) for Dom Sibley opening the batting in a chase of 201 on franchise debut for the Khulna Tigers in the Bangladesh Premier League. A sentence few would have predicted when he scored a double hundred in the CC against Yorkshire as a teenager back in 2013.

Just a casual 746-run turnaround from Wellington to Hamilton. Second time England have lost by 400-plus runs this year.

Will O'Rourke arguably POTM for me: hitting 95mph, gets Bethell, Root and Brook in one spell in the first innings, Brook early in the second and has struck all three of Bethell, Root and Pope. Serious, serious bowler.

Double daily pod on all the action from Hamilton (with @philwisden.bsky.social) and Bloemfontein (with @benwisden.bsky.social). We did 30 mins on another tough day for the men; includes chat on the overall spectacle, and where Bashir is at 15 Tests in. www.patreon.com/posts/englan...

New Zealand bowled 7.3 more first innings overs than Matt Potts. #NZvENG

Two of NZ's eight longest ever 10th wicket stands have come this series. The O'Rourke factor.

12 years ago today Alex died by suicide. Opening Up Cricket was set up in memory of him. The cricket season seems a long way off. Let your mates know you care all year round.

Last England player to reach 50 Test wickets in fewer games than Gus Atkinson? Ian Botham. #NZvENG

Third and final Wellington Test daily with Cam Ponsonby is live. www.patreon.com/posts/root-t...

Brydon Carse already has 25 wickets since debuting in Multan – Anderson never took more than 25 Test wickets in a single winter, Broad's most productive winter was taking 22 in 17/18.

Most Test hundreds since the start of 2021: 1. Joe Root (19) . . . . . 2. Kane Williamson (9) 3. Harry Brook (8) 4= Dimuth Karunaratne, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne (7) #NZvENG

This is the first time England men have had two of their top three dismissed in the 90s in the same Test innings. #NZvENG

Am I missing something, why is there sincere declaration chat (for the second innings) in the afternoon session of day two?!

The field for Gus Atkinson’s hat-trick ball in Wellington; all pointing to the short ball … full and straight does the trick

Hefty 33-min daily episode with @philwisden.bsky.social to mark a brilliant first day in Wellington. www.patreon.com/posts/englan...

Couple of Brook related stats before his run out: He faced just 23 balls in the hour before his dismissal. His partners for that hour (Stokes/Woakes) scored just one single between them in that hour. When Brook got off strike, he stayed off strike.

Harry Brook has as many away hundreds as AB de Villiers. This is his 10th away Test. #NZvENG

One hell of an opening spell from Matt Henry - 40 wickets at 15 in 2024; right up there with the best in the world on current form.

This week's Patreon extra show, an exclusive chat with Rob Key on his life in cricket. It's a great listen, particularly enjoyed the stuff on his own playing career and how some of his early experiences helped shape his current philosophy on the game.
