Damn. Bradman himself isn't keeping that one out.

Some good balls but too many poor shot from the upper order.

Deficit into double figures. 

[StanSP]

Comms put the mockers on there. 

 

Said the new ball wasn't moving at all, then it does that to Archer

 

[leicsmac]

Well, bowling them out for under 200 it has to be, then.

And that's a good start.

Great start

Bloody hell, Archer doesn't half zero in on the body and head when his blood is up.

[StanSP]

Stokes smacked Archer in the eye in the celebrations

 

NZ struggling. 

[leicsmac]

Think the blow messed with Conway's concentration there. 

[leicsmac]

Need to keep the pressure on here, one good partnership might decide the match.

[leicsmac]

Dropped catch by Brook, two lbw appeals and then a taken catch by Brook all in seven balls.

 

It's all happening.

[CosbehFox]

Typical of this England vintage. All that pressure and then throw the ball to Bashir for his pies

[Super_horns]

Couple of late wickets would be nice .

 

Probably don’t want to be chasing much .

[leicsmac]

Running out of map here. 

[Super_horns]

You just don’t trust us to be disciplined or sensible enough to think about how we might reach any target or save a  game .

 

[STEVIE B]

Can't see England chasing more than 300, unfortunately l think we will need to. 

[Corky]

West Indies absolutely dominating Sri Lanka, current partnership worth more than 370.

I was at Trent Bridge today. If we lose this it has to be the end of Key and McCullum.

 

This team is just incapable of pushing on from a decent position. I’m not sure why they seem to shit themselves so much because the wicket keeper is standing up to the stumps. That first hour this morning was disgusting tbh. Bethell could have been out 4 or 5 times wafting at balls outside off stump that he could have left and eventually one found his edge. Smith is rubbish behind the stumps and looks like a walking wicket every time he bats. For the love of God pick a ****ing proper keeper.

 

Sick to death of it tbh. English cricket is an absolute joke.

Thought the New Zealand bowlers were absolutely fantastic today between them all. A level of depth we could only dream of.

Yep. They’ve built a team totally void of character and personality. You look how they’ve pushed players out to replace them with low intelligence cricketers. You compare that to how gritty the Kiwi’s have been. I’m not his biggest fan but I don’t get quite why Robinson hasn’t been picked over Tongue on this test given he was supposedly fit. 
 

There were rumours last night Key is gone and Alec Stewart will be coming in. 

[Lionator]

Blimey, he nearly didnt review that and it was miles over 😂

[leicsmac]

Frustrating start to the day.

[leicsmac]

The draw is steadily coming back until the equation here, though. NZ need at least a 450 lead to declare on, and they're likely not going to get that until after tea, which means England will, at most, likely have to bat just above a day to force a draw in a worst case scenario. 

[Rubbersoul]

That’s plumber than a man with a pipe
