Pitch looks awesome to bat on. We should aim to be no more than 2 down at the close.
Take a walk mate
It was a good prediction until 4 balls from stumps

Definitely NZs day. With 7 in hand we should still be looking good for 400-450.
And Patel will be smiling seeing the part timer pick up a wicket on the second day.
500+ is still on I reckon.

It really hinges on Watling and Taylor - the pitch suits Watling if he gets stuck in IMO.
This was a very good performance all things considered - they survived a seriously good spell from Broad in the second session.

Watling is injured. Nicholls and Blundell, yeah

Conway is great! A serious find.

We're going to have an influx of older players. Conway (30), Blundell (30), Young (28). By that time, you know your game well, and just play. Could easily get 6-8 good years out them, giving time to find new talent

An exciting thought

Keep an eye on Crawley. Played a few decent knocks in difficult India
…..and here’s his scores since being back in England 9, 8, 5, 13, 53, 0, 9, 5, 2, 2, 0.
Particularly proud of that one...
Keep an eye on Kohli. Played a few decent knocks in difficult india

Did anyone see how Blundells keeping went ? Bloody important with BJs impending departure.
Very good mate. Just really tidy in everything he did. Looked determined to secure the ball with nothing flashy or casual. No technical deficiencies that I could spot. Sleep well mate, our future keeping shouldn't be an issue.
-
Broad's carrying on after the non catch should be slightly punished only to keep up a message about some respect for umpires. I know he was mostly playing up to the crowd in a very very good spell for him but he's undermining some basic umpiring. The soft signal was key.
Ecb wants new cricketers. Keep quiet about this and the new cricketers will make umpiring a job no one wants to do. Doubtless the ecb will prioritise on field behaviour over off field...
Just a decent mention and a warning or tiny fine would address it adequately. Just some acknowledgement that such behaviour damages grass roots cricket -
What an innings from Young. Came in when broad was bowling the best spell of the series and navigated that brilliantly with such poise.
Rossco battled and battled for us. Was ugly as it was determined. Scratched around and just played each ball like it had no bearing on the previous one. Classic experience and determination. Really important knock
We saw the master and the apprentice in 92 run partnership. Nice
