    Does anybody find that little smirk that is permanently on the face of Mark Craig irrationally irritating?

    I think he has one of the most punchable faces in world cricket, although that may have something to do with the double wicket maiden.

    Shit, Stokes gone.

    102-5 at lunch

    If we were 2-1 against Australia and clinging on for a draw at the final test. then I'd welcome the rain delays, but in this series I want England tested. Players like Bell need to show they're mentally tough enough to survive long periods against a good attack, as his last few innings have been all over the place

    Yup, the England batsmen were tested... and most failed...

    We'll do well to get out of jail here. You need 3, 4 and 5 to be in form at test level.

    As mentioned on BBC, people talking about dropping Bell have forgotten how long Cook got between centuries.
  • Addickted2TheRedsAddickted2TheReds
    Another 50 for Cook.
  • Addickted2TheRedsAddickted2TheReds
    And Cook also reaches 9000 test runs. Great achievement.
  • Addickted2TheRedsAddickted2TheReds
    And now he's given out LBW, he reviews it but it looked out live.
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    Cook given out LBW. He reviews it but it only confirms his departure. Out for 56.

    141-6

    Buttler 19* (44)

    And that will be that unfortunately.

    Williamson now has figures of 2-3 with the prize wickets of Stokes and Cook.

    306 runs to win from 51 overs. 6 an over ... :-)

    Ali "shoulders arms" and is bowled by Henry.

    153-7
  • dickplumbdickplumb
    England have been pressurised and they are folding like a pack of cards. Ali now out.
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    Hales or Taylor or both will be in the team by the Ashes I think.
  • thai malaysia addickthai malaysia addick
    Best to get the Aussies over-confident.
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    Broad chops on a ball to Williamson who now has figures of 6-1-6-3. He only comes on to break partnerships and of course we like to oblige.

    200-8 Buttler 38* (94) and likely to be left stranded yet again.
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    230-8 and 28 overs to go

    Buttler now on 56* (118) which is actually a fraction short of his current Test average. Wood 17* (31)

    Partnership of 42

    225 runs needed from 25 overs. 9 an over...
  • Addickted2TheRedsAddickted2TheReds
    Can anybody remember how many overs Anderson and Moeen Ali batted out last summer at Headingley v Sri Lanka?

    I remember him facing 50 odd balls for no run so must have been something a little similar to this.

    Thanks.

    But you have got to look at Ballance's stats. Because it is all about stats.His batting average is coming down quicker than Jordan's knickers.
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    Jimmy now has 1000 test runs!

    Addickted2TheReds said:

    Wow, go on Jimmy son!

    Ballance out for Rashid, Anderson up to three and then we get another spinner :-)

    1000 test runs for Jimmy. :-)

    chris jordan ?

  • BedsaddickBedsaddick
    Well that's that then.

    We got everything we deserved from this match. ( 10th wicket just gone) Well done New Zealand, richly deserved win.

    IMO Cook will never make a test captain.
