[Dinowolf]

Blundell gone 24

176-5

 

[Stan Hullis]

In the queue for tomorrow, likely to be a damp squib/draw but could be in for a great days play.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Reckon we are going to be chasing 300 in 70 0vers

 

[Tony Towner]

The Olly Stone line at the bottom is interesting and if true would suggest his red ball days are behind him. Probably makes sense as he's made of glass but such a shame

Chasing is the interesting word. There's no way we would have done under Root and Silverwood.

 

[Dinowolf]

Bracewell gone 25

204-6

 

[PuntsWolf]

Needed at least 250 before doing that. Strange

Chasing is the interesting word. There's no way we would have done under Root and Silverwood.

Stokes and Macullum have already said they don't do draws.

 

[Dinowolf]

Southee gone 0

213-7

 

[Tony Towner]

3 run outs today all needless

 

[PuntsWolf]

Batsmen Down and they are doing this. Makes bracewell even more baffling

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Jamieson might bat, although he definitely won't bowl.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Guess they want to give him another night off, ideally.

 

[Dinowolf]

Stumps 224-7

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Brilliantly poised.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Can’t see anything but an England win unless NZ manage to stick around for an hour, which probably make the draw favourite. Pitch isn’t doing anything, don’t think a single batsmen has been got out really in that 3rd innings.

Difficult for Smith as the Aussies spent 2 years refusing to go anywhere - unless it was the IPL, that was fine. Root is the best in the world now, even though Labuschagne is ranked as such. Statistically has a 1 in 3 chance of overhauling Sachin

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Smith and Root and the only two current players who can catch Sachin. Virat is a bit too far behind and Warner is too old.

 

[Dinowolf]

Root drops one at slip. Not easy but they need taking.
