So, cricket predictions?

NZ will be more in the zone and settled than the first test, but much will depend on how the people drafted in because of illness and injury fare.

The pressure on the English batting will be intense - I reckon Lees will do okay, Pope will fail in one innings and do okay in the other, as will Bairstow, leaving it still unclear how best to get the most out of our batting.

Leach to save us from batting collapse in the first innings, with Foakes and take wickets in the second innings.

Our pace attack to look devastating or one paced depending on whether we win the toss and if there's cloud cover...

Reckon we'll sneak a win, but still with lots of question marks over the batting. (like with the first test)
