It SHOULD still get there. You may even see a result

I'll take the game being wrapped up in exactly 9.5 overs and then a fully licensed all-day piss-up with a full refund

[leicsmac]

Do you know where your off stump is, Daryl?

Well, it's about twenty feet over there now, mate. 

[STEVIE B]

Excellent from Robinson.

They’re a very good side. 
 

They’d probably be 75/1 if they’d have been in bat. Bowling doesn’t fill me with confidence at all. 

Works every time. 

[StanSP]

Just seen the score. Wtf

 

[Super_horns]

Just a typical uneventful dull day for England then!

 

Another short test no doubt

[Voll Blau]

Not managed to see much today but have been listening. Buzzing to see the reactions of two disgruntled batsmen grousing about lbw decisions that were literally hitting the stumps.

 

Do away with umpire's review. If we believe the machine says it's hitting then you're out. Simple.

[leicsmac]

Shame the bowlers couldn't have made more inroads towards the end there, but you take this if it's offered at the start of the day and you certainly take it when you've just been dismissed for 140.

[Voll Blau]

Mad end to that game at Taunton.

 

Nice chaser to the Test.

Great delivery

[Tommy Fresh]

Here we go short bowling 

[trabuch]

Why on earth is Robinson bowling short?? Leicestershire fans know very well what happens when he bowls short.

[RowlattsFox]

Great effort from the bowlers but again batting scorecards like this will be the death of Test cricket.

 

May be needed in the second innings but may as well play the extra batter than Bashir.

Both sides have bowled very well, in bowler friendly conditions tbf. 

Both sides would've bowled first.

Good controlled aggression before lunch, England in the driving seat for the moment. 

[Lionator]

Gay looks like Cook once he gets on that front foot outside off 😍😍😍

[RowlattsFox]

You can normally rely on New Zealand to do the basics like catching. Could cost them this match. 

Gay looks decent but should've been out in the slips, most good innings need a bit of luck in them. 

[trabuch]

Pitch isn't fit for purpose. 

[leicsmac]

EG getting into the groove now. 

[trabuch]

Good innings that - rode his luck, but got a very good one in the 1st

[leicsmac]

Suddenly looking unsteady again. 

[James and his giant peach]

I thought when the lead went to 100 with 9 wickets left this game mirrors Perth. England low score, skittle the opponents then get a lead and oh look crumbling and NZ will knock off 200 to win. Flaky batting and 6 million LBWs. 

[leicesterisme]

Can’t see it personally, think even 180 will be too much on this surface

[Warks_Mackem]

Duckett did his usual - giving his wicket away with a nothing shot after getting himself in. Bethell was unlucky, whilst Gay and Root got good balls.

 

Not sure what the **** Brook and Stokes were doing.

 

Every run is precious in these conditions.
