England have been playing 20 minutes and are 4 down already

Superb spell from Boult. Some of it was unplayable.

It could've easily been 6 wickets down within 30 minutes FFS.. but the bowling has been superb

Fair play to the debutant.. talk about discipline after that crazy hour of cricket

This is ridiculous but also brilliant

NZ haven't had a sniff since Overton came in.. it's his debut an all!

The ball has stopped swinging and all of the sudden the pitch looks like the perfect batting track. Well done Bairstow and Overton for taking advantage.

If Broad had bowled like Boult did at the start of the innings, we'd be calling him unplayable. When it's an opposition bowler, too many just blame the batsmen. Stokes is the only one who really deserves criticism for how he got out.

If we're going to knock England for anything, it was for pitching it short constantly this morning. Boult immediately showed them what they should have been doing. Pleased for Leach though.

Just seen the Boult wickets, completely unplayable and the faces of the three England batsmen said much the same. Wickets literally tumbling.

Some of us did recognise Boult’s brilliant new ball spell.

I bet Boult takes a wicket in the first couple of overs tomorrow, it's nailed on
