I would suggest Ravindra could learn a lot from watching Williamson. He still struggles slightly to find a tempo in test cricket, I feel he could still be a little more patient.
It will come. But I don’t think there’s too much to work on. Reckon he balances the urgency to score runs and the demands of test cricket pretty well already.
That was just an off shot which happens every now and then for all quality batsmen.

Commentators again putting the mockers on saying Williamson hasn’t been out in the 90s since 2018.

A bit apt that David Gower was commentating when RR got out.
He was often criticised for careless batting which is possibly harsh for someone who got over 8000 runs at 44 in a tough batting era !

Fuck me - that's worth five years in prison!

We need a bit from our tail here, we will want 350+ given the pitch is pretty flat already. Some disappointing dismissals from players that looked set today.

Southee is good for 30+ on this deck.

Blundell gone for another soft wicket. I don’t think England have bowled that well, we’ve just made poor decisions.

Fuck sakes stop getting out to balls even I would put away! Sheesh, we don't quite have enough here, England with their noses in front. Stead really should have given me a call.

Lots of starts which is a bit disappointing, but overall pretty happy with that after being put into bat. We have runs on the board, with the opportunity to put a few more on in the morning, and looking at the 2nd new ball England took there is still plenty of movement in the pitch. Pretty evenly poised so far.

Some rash shots played out there we threw too many of our wkts away,
As I mentioned before the test Bashir may cause problems because of the pace he bowls at and the bounce due to his height.
A few players did get done by the bounce he produces they got caught because of it, -

Some of those guys need to sit down and watch how that Australian team of the late-90s onward played.
They just never gave you anything. Specialist batsmen being caught in the outfield shouldn't really happen - at least not till you've made 100!
