Boult swinging it round corners. **** sake 

[Finnegan]

Good grief. Fortune smiling on Roy and Bairstow so far. 

 

Jesus how has there not been a wicket.

The NZ batsman had a bit of fortune in their innings with a few at the start; that review for instance.

Do well to get through this !

Oh of course. Not suggesting otherwise. 

 

Just a few scary looking moments for England there in the first couple overs. The one that missed the bat and went an inch or two over the bails especially. 

[RowlattsFox]

This is why Roy might struggle in the tests. Still deserves a shot though. 

[foxfanazer]

This is tense!

100%, a few too many of those heart in your mouth moments for me so far! 

 

 

But have to say am sick of hearing Boult scream out the minute the batsman hits the ball. Not sure if I've missed it happening for others but it's getting my nerves already

Riding our luck here, feel something is going to give

Think anyone would struggle against this opening burst tbf. Know what you’re saying though.

 

Think he’s dealt with it well so far personally. Just been bowled a few snorters.

 

 

Sorry everyone.

Maybe being naive here, but we've hit the same drive 3/4 times for a 4 now, surely they should be covering it?

bollocks 

[RowlattsFox]

There we go, was always going to knock one eventually. Done well to get 17 really. Time for Root to do what he does, if ever there was an occasion for a player like him this is it.

[Voll Blau]

Think the occasion got the better of him today.

[Leicester_Loyal]

We've got to get to 10 overs without losing another. Disappointed for Roy, thought we were lucky not to lose a wicket even earlier though.

Tbf, Boult and Henry have looked very dangerous. 

[PhillippaT]

My fault!  I swapped from F1 to the cricket, just as they took the wicket

[Crinklyfox]

We have to do what NZ did, hang on in there until the best bowlers are off and the ball isn't doing so much.  Big roles for Root and Morgan today.

Great to see elite bowlers having a real impact. Sod the 370-390 each game, 240 is a tough score to get and that is how it should be.

Yeah, they'd be a joy to watch if I wasn't English.

Agree. Proper contest between bat and ball is this.

[PAULCFC]

regulation catch.

[Nickfosse]

Really can’t see England getting 242 wit the ball moving like it is

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Fantastic bowling, pressure is increasing
