Cricket 2021: NZ in England and WTC Final

[rotated]

Five now. Very professional bowling performance here.

Still just under 30 overs left today.

[sparky]

Lawrence out second ball. England five down and in all shades of shit.

I can't say I really expected us to actually roll them for less than 200, but it would certainly be convenient. Henry the destroyer so far!

Add Wagner to the list of destroyers...

[sparky]

NZ radar off a bit again. Bowlers have lost a bit of intensity.

[sparky]

Another one. Bracey. Bowled Patel. Six down.

[sparky]

England 71 for 6. Still one hour left today. England need 14 runs to make NZ bat again. The crowd are now very, very, very quite.

Jeremy Coney "The bowling has been tidy, but England have been a wee bit culpable as well." 😂

This in part is why I didn't think they were up for chasing at Lords basically everyone in that top order is under serious pressure aside from Burns and Root (who has the weight of the side on him).

A couple of early wickets and they have just carved through them.

Zaltsman was saying on TMS that England already have the second most ducks in the Top 6 in a calendar year in history and it's not even June.

[sparky]

Root out. Caught behind off Patel. 11 from 61 balls. 76 for 7. Still 9 runs behind.

[sparky]

Looks like this might be over and dusted inside 3 days.

That would be nice...

If they don't bowl them out before close of play I can't see the extra half hour being useful. If the lead is 30+ hard to chase that down in 20 minutes.

[sparky]

England now ahead. Wood putting bat on ball.

[sparky]

Decent partnership from Stone and Wood.

[sparky]

England 30 ahead. This will go into Day 4.

[sparky]

Wood out. Hit one in the air. England 8 down.

[sparky]

Broad Bowled by Boult. 121 for 9. It smells like victory.

[rotated]

Broad wants this quicker than we do, good signs if he takes the new ball.

[MajorRage]

What did we do to Holding?

Think NZ have bowled Average, England just poor. Said it about 10 times. After going on and on yday about dropped catches, seems he cannot give us credit.

Why the fucks he commentating anyway?

[rotated]

Disappointing for Taylor there as he looked primed, but another good days test cricket from NZ. Good signs from Henry and Patel and a perfect workload for Boult to dust the cobwebs off.
