    Southee looks a bit cooked. Last test?

    Good to have them four down but there are still three test century makers waiting to bat

    O'Rourke's bounce causing some problems. A few balls flying to the boundary, but not always controlled.

    Great, now Pope has taken over from Duckett getting jammy boundaries. We're bowling well, just need to stay disciplined and the wickets will come.

    The Duckett drop wasn't too expensive, but Brook might be a different story.

    I reckon it's worth giving GP a couple of overs here

    True, but arguably over the last 18 months, the Indian series was a bit of an outlier in the field.

    Catches win matches, and dropped catches lose matches. You can't give players as good as Brook chances. We're letting ourselves down this test with poor shot selection and now poor catching.

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if Pope and Brook are both still at the crease come the end of the days play. Those dropped catches are embarrassing really.

    O'Rourke's pace is good and looking dangerous. Hopefully he's fired up after tea and we can hold some catches.

    Jesus fucking Christ another sitter. If this was Pakistan I'd be 100% certain of bookies being involved. We don't deserve to win if we field worse than a club side.

    Oh dear. Another catch goes down. That one probably the easiest of the lot, but all should have been taken.

    My boy Phillips just took THE best catch I have seen in ages.

    Freakish.

    Got Southee another wicket.

    Unfortunately they’ve dropped Brook three times !
