    That was a review that smacked of nothing but hope!

    Don't want to be getting a Broadean reputation of a selfish reviewer!

    Anyway, game's moved along - good. I feel England may have enough already tbh, their bowling should be strong

    Very enjoyable watching England batting properly in a Test. We haven't seen this for years. There has to be a possibility this could go to 5 days! 
    So 3 wickets fell in 15 mins after this.

    Just switched over after celebrity show and saw Butler and Archer in. Thought WTF as last time I flicked over Stokes was on 90.  My god, just seen the Stokes and Pope wickets. What crap shots.

    295/8 Archer out. Still no backbone to the team.

    No backbone? The backbone's walking out to bat right now

    So we have gone from Test cricket to one day cricket in an hour.

    I'm not sure Buttler should be in Test mode right now

    Enjoying how well Leach is playing, to the extent where Buttler went from not giving him the strike in one over, to letting him keep the strike at the end of the next one

    There's a strong case for batting him ahead of Archer too

    353 was England’s highest first innings score on foreign soil since the Boxing Day Test in 2017.

    Just been told on comms that Curran has bowled quicker so far today than Broad has. Hes certainly quicker than he was a year ago.


    Still would have had archer on first up after he hit Nicholls on the head yesterday.

    That review would have been great had he not middled it and had the ball not pitched outside leg stump too!

    Edit: it pitched in line
    Edit edit: but he still middled it

    Village fielding from England after review from Archer

    Stokes drop  😩

    Needed that wicket...

    NZ on top. Our bowling has resembled a village green outfit at times.....Root's looked the most dangerous & that was with the old ball.

    Expect to be in deficit on 1st innings by at least 50.

    The pitch is doing nothing - Archer’s banging it into the pitch and getting nothing. Leach isn’t getting any turn. Expecting this to barely reach a fourth innings.
