    There's been a few pitches recently, that have looked poor but played well, so you never know.
  • Root wins the toss and elects to bat

    Love a bit of kiwi commentary of the "tist crucket"
  • Burns caught behind. Umpire turns it down and NZ don't review it!

    Wasnt it Sibley?

    Odd one for me. Seemed nothing in it live and commentators said it must have just nicked the pad. Then hotspot showed it as a nick.

    No Burns.
    I'd like to comment on our progress, but better not to.

    You are correct my mistake.
  • Proper first hour of a test match that. Enjoyed it

    Wagner into the bowling now. Good bowler, done well for Essex, but can go for a few, hence couple of boundaries in first over. Reckon him and de Grandhomme will get milked for a few. Can see Burns getting a score here, Sibley a bit cagey but growing into it

    It's amazing how wide Test bowlers can bowl without umpires calling them. If I ran the ICC that'd be close to the first thing I changed

    Yes, we've looked solid from the first ball.
    Sorry, I know that will now kill us.

    52/1

    Sibley 22  (lasted 10 mins after I said we were solid)

    Good ball from "the grandfather" but hardly a zinger. Hoping Denley nails his place now

    He was trying to play that one through midwicket. Didn't get his off-side game going. Probably just had to keep grinding. Ah well, he'll learn
  • McBobbin

    Not a bad start though. First ball a four he probably thought it was game on

    And now, on the other channel, some cricket that doesn't feature England...but seems like it might be a little more action-packed. Starc bowling at Pakistan's mercurial batsmen...

    Spoiler: it was NOT action-packed

    Burns playing one of the luckiest innings in living memory here

    That was a huge let off, surprised the umpire didn't change his mind.

    Umpire doesn't change his mind - it's whether more than 50% of the ball is hitting the stumps according to Hawkeye. I think maybe 49% was there

    His luck's run out now.
