Sounds like that rain isn't too far away, better put the hammer down Rossco.

Kane nearly ran himself out and couldn't have blamed Taylor for that.

That was suicide. Shame the english didn't display that sort of form when Guppie ran his suicide run at Lord's 😤

It started pouring here in central Auckland about 30 minutes ago. Shouldn't be far away

222/2. Marvellous.

[Bovidae]

I'd say there is time for Ross to get his ton. It's not raining yet.

[canefan]

Just saw an add on sky for screening of the 85 Australia series. Getting everyone excited

[Crucial]

What a way to get through the 90s!

[Bovidae]

Raining now.

Cow corner is back!

[Chris B.]

@Gunner ...and he does!

4,6,6 and that's his hundred!

He got the memo alright!

[canefan]

Three slog sweeps and that's 100 for Rosco. Not a moment too soon

[Donsteppa]

Sensational! Nervous nineties not.

[No Quarter]

I'm very comfortable with it pissing down from here on leaving our two best players not out in the 100s. Perfect end to the series.

[No Quarter]

@No-Quarter I missed the Pope drop, but I'm guessing it's not as bad as the one that Denly just dropped off Kane.

You'd get abused for dropping that one in tenth grade!

I normally keep but once when I was fielding at mid wicket I dropped a catch just like that. The batsmen was so surprised he was half way down the pitch walking off meaning I could easily run him out, so I proceeded to throw the ball way above the keepers head conceding an overthrow. That piece of fielding will stick with me for the rest of my life.

[bayimports]

well, although Jeets didnt get time out there, im very happy the rest of our top order has got time out there. Need as much batting time as possible as prep for the next tour. Pity this series doesn't count for WTC.

Looks like there's a couple of hours of rain and they may get back out there late in the afternoon - if anyone can be bothered.

Good to see Kane and Ross both get some runs, though not quite vintage Kane - in that he had two lives and also got clanged solidly on the helmet by Stokes.
