Black Caps v England Test series

[Cyclops]

English are bowling well here. We could easily be 5 down already as well. The critical thing will be how the ball performs as it ages, and the lights come on. It could be that batting gets harder rather than easier.

When you’re (happy @MN5 ) within 28 runs of the team batting first but you’re score is only 30..

[Donsteppa]

Williamson targeting Ali very effectively

It only takes a minute to be a spelling and grammar Nazi Virg....Good work.

[No Quarter]

Fucking hell, Boult and Sothee making mincemeat of the English in just 20 overs. I know the pink ball swings a bit but that is absolutely outrageous! Gutted I didn't watch that live...

[No Quarter]

Some really good bowling but fuck me some of those shots from the English batsmen were absolutely disgraceful.

[Virgil]

50 up for steady the ship

[Stockcar86]

Rain tomorrow. Glad we are scoring at a decent pace

50-0 so far in the battle of the captains/best batsmen. I'll take that.

[Donsteppa]

Williamson outscores all 11 English batsmen...

[Paekakboyz]

Was there a pink ball special on match fixing or something??! just caught the wickets - jaysus you'd catch tetanus from the rust on those guys!

Latham playing a real old fashioned battling openers innings.

Maybe he's not son of Rod but son of Trevor Franklin?

So pleased I saw almost the whole innings live...I had to leave at around 28/9!

What do you mean you saw almost the whole innings?

You saw less than half of the runs.

[No Quarter]

Surely the bowler knows if he touched it. If not, then no way you can give it. Inconclusive as fuck.

[MN5]

Anderson and Broad have taken 923 wickets between them. Fuck that is a lot especially considering they're hardly spoken of in the hushed tones reserved for true greats of the game.

[Bovidae]

There is no reason to back up out of your crease so much in a test.

Will the bowler submit to a polygraph test before the umpire makes a ruling?
