Black Caps v England Test series

[Chris B.]

@mokey England can't be too far from moving on from Cook.

In the past 12 months he's had two massive double centuries in 25 innings, but not a lot else.

More than half of his runs have come in those two innings. In the other 23 innings he averaged 19.

Smithy reckons the pitch looks perfect for batting now. Time for Wagner to work his magic 😠😠😠

[canefan]

So Sodhi in for Astle?

Astle is injured. Side strain.

Sodhi in red hot form.

Must have been injured with all that celebrating

Wags forces Root into a false shot. He's in his head....

[canefan]

That's our reviews gone

The first was the shocker. The second was really marginal...

[No Quarter]

Bad start to this test.

IMO, poor decision to bowl first, followed up by two poor reviews.

We urgently need wickets or it will be a long day in the field.

[No Quarter]

Southee answers my call and gets the king pin, straight through him, he was nowhere near that.

[Donsteppa]

When you’ve wasted all the reviews the best thing to do is to bowl them out

[sterling]

Wooohooohoooooo

[No Quarter]

Missed runout chance and now Boult gets Malan for a golden with an absolute beauty. Fucking awesome.

[No Quarter]

Stoneman's stonewall smashed to pieces and the collapse is on!

[Virgil]

Longer tail coming up?

[Snowy]

Anyone want to get rid of Southee now? 3-24.

Can anyone guarantee @booboo isnt watching or listening in at the moment?

Funnily enough ....

... I walk in from work and Waggie gets Woakes first ball I see ...

... walk out for quick comfort stop walk back in and half a second later Anderson gets out ...

Again. It's all down to my timing.

You're welcome.

So. You may thank me again.

Just in from the gym. Turn telly on and first ball I see Timmah gets laid err gets Root.

Wander around. Laundry on. Next ball I see Boulter nabs Malan.

Can't claim Stokes though.

In ODIs, Henry is making a hell of a case given his numbers.

But in tests Boult and Southee are absolutely superb as a combination, and with Wagner bacming them up we have one of the better seam attacks going around.

What does Smithy know?

[Snowy]

@no-quarter Hmm. O.K. I would back Southee at the death rather than Henry and he would likely have to do that? Both of them can go for a few.

Pretty hard to squeeze them both into the team. Unusual for NZ to be in that position, and nice.
