Cricket: NZ vs England

[SynicBast]

So much to like about this team of players

[Bovidae]

Speaking of good catches - Santner takes a screamer to remove Pope.

[Chris B.]

Great catch Santner - shit ball by Wagner.

Pope putting the lie to Papal infallibility!

[Cyclops]

Wags doing the job for us yet again. Is he the most underrated bowler in test cricket at the moment? It feels like everyone always writes him off as 'just' short stuff, like any batsman worth his salt won't be troubled by him at all. Yet match after match after match he breaks down teams with the old ball doing exactly what they were expecting.

[Hooroo]

I don't know about that, it utterly deceived Pope.

[Bovidae]

The other thing about the catch was that Santner took it with his right hand.

This is what the English get for rejecting the Pope in 1532...

[Virgil]

New ball did alright.. fat lady can start warming up!

[SynicBast]

I'm very tempted to get T-Shirt made with the phrase: We don't need no steenking Dukes ball

[Chris B.]

Archer, Curran, Broad and 38 overs remaining!

[Crucial]

Not offering a shot to a yorker that hits leg.

Yep, all those balls getting your eye in worked a treat.

I just wonder if he might have been expecting a short one!

[Baron Silas Greenback]

Amazing what some 'dibbly dobbly' bowling can do ....

I am amazed the Poms arent 200 ahead without loss on this pitch so bad it has let down this test match occasion.....

[Crucial]

Hopefully Archer will also take the kamikaze approach in a minute. They look to have thrown caution to the wind.

We just need to take advantage of that.

[Cyclops]

Tail enders look happy to play shots so thy wickets should come.

[Donsteppa]

Barmy Army have been strangely quiet today.

Thankfully.
I like them, but they were getting very repetitive and annoying late in the day.

[Donsteppa]

FFS.

How many overs do they need to survive?
