Black Caps v England Test series

[Chris B.]

Clear blue sky overhead at present - might have to bat at least 30 overs here!

[Donsteppa]

Sodhi has lasted more deliveries than Williamson, Taylor, and Nicholls combined.

[No Quarter]

Great to see the lower ordering putting up a fight again - if we pull this out of the fire it'll be some effort considering the top order failings this test. Hard to see them surviving the new ball though.

[Chris B.]

@donsteppa I've survived as many deliveries as Kane!!!

[Chris B.]

So by my calculation Broad has bowled just 11 overs today, but Anderson has bowled 17. He's surely not going to be bowling a long fiery spell!

[Cyclops]

Cricinfo just linked to Danny Morrisons last test. I'd forgotten about that one. What a rear guard it was, almost 3 hours at the crease. I can only imagine how gut wrenching it must have been as an England fan (actually, I've experienced 10th wicket stands humiliate the BCs so I'm speaking from experience actually!)

[canefan]

This is incredibly cruel of the BCs to hang on for hours only to rip put our collective hearts and fail at the end

Colin you farking nonce

[Chris B.]

For fuck's sake, Colin! What the hell was the point of that?!!!

[KiwiMurph]

Haha what an awful dismissal by CDG.

Still - he did well when he was in there unlike a few others.

For the talk of 'should have chased', very few of the dismissals seem to have been from a forward defensive shot gone wrong...

[No Quarter]

CdG goes. The end is nigh.

[Damo]

Oh dear. At least CDG hung around for a while but that mode of dismissal is not a good look.

[canefan]

What is the point of resisting when you go like that

[Donsteppa]

Go the clouds!!!

[canefan]

Minimum 26 overs left

[Chris B.]

@canefan potentially 26.

Hope was just starting to bubble up, but the cat's among the pigeons now!

[canefan]

Wagner getting his own medicine. Hands down boys!

[mariner4life]

I saw Geoff Allott in the crowd the other day. If ever we were in need of a tail end wall...

[canefan]

18 overs left
