Is Archer back in? 

Yeah. Archer, Fisher, Tongue and Baker.

Rehan should be in the side

I think ultimately the fact that the tail is so long and the oval doesn't spin has cost him and they've gone with the extra batter.

Sri Lanka Women on course for a big win vs NZ...

Very changed England XI then.

Indeed looking forward to seeing how Cox and Rew do against international quality bowling. Will be a good test for them in their development.

 

I like Baker's moxy and pace but got a feeling its still too early for him and he's going to get slapped around the park.

[Super_horns]

Like the local Saturday /Sunday village team

Well a lot of people were keen for wholesale changes from the winter so here we are. 

It's become quite an interesting test match, opportunity for players.

Win the toss and bowl please.

Only just turned it on and can’t believe how green the pitch is

Little bit unusual, it's a green pitch but not actually offering much for the bowlers, they're having to be disciplined in their line and length.

It may be that once the top surface has gone, the moisture will begin to play a part. I mean there must be some moisture to be that green??

Good recovery from Blundell and Mitchell. Sensible cricket and getting the runs off the average ball. 

[RowlattsFox]

Not seen much of it today but looks a proper test match. 

[leicsmac]

Good showing from the bowlers here. 

[leicsmac]

Hmmmm...definite case of the benefit of the doubt going to the batter there. That looked clean enough to me.

Yeah, from that angle and after another replay or two it's more conclusive. 

 

Good effort by Rew, though. could do with getting at least one or two more before the close. 

[Super_horns]

We did well to get wickets just as NZ threatened to get a big partnership going .

Probably an even day .

Obviously depends on how we bat .

Short bowling tactic this morning. Really? 

[StanSP]

What is Duckett doing...

Only until they can take the new ball, which is imminent...

I hope so! Make them earn their runs at least!

[CosbehFox]

I've got Day 4 tickets, so Kiwis pile the runs on today until 4pm
