Robinson to Harris, OUT
Robinson makes the breakthrough, Harris gobbled up in the cordon! Excellent length again, starting on the stumps and then seaming just a fraction - enough to draw a nibble from Harris, thick outside edge and Malan snares a good low catch at third slipMarcus Harris c Malan b Robinson 3 (17b 0x4 0x6) SR: 17.64

Someone mentioned this Aussie team is hard to hate now, but while Smith and Labuschagne are in the team I have no problems hating them. Labuschagne has only been in a few minutes and he is annoying the crap out of me already. He is very pucnhable.

@kiwimurph Wood's on and consistently pushing it through at 150 kph

Around the wicket to Warner. What a shock.

Channel 7 just showed vision: every ball Stokes bowled in that first over was a noball. Only the wicket one was called back.
I'd be a little pissed off, but then how fucking hard is it to train like you play?
Wow. Why?
They check every ball now. Even have the little siren.
Is this because a broadcaster /covid/ some people and kit not actually working from Brisbane?

Third ump should be doing it. Paul Wilson is clearly not paying attention as some of those were massive.

a quick comparison, if you will indulge me
Test match opening bat has been a problem child for NZ as long as any of us can remember, we have had a fair number of shit ones
Marcus Harris currently averages 23.77
That is good enough to land him at #25 in the list of NZ openers with at least 10 tests.
The only names below him are How, Franklin, and Pocock.
There are some very ordinary names ahead of him
This is not a vintage Australian batting lineup.

I thought you’d forgotten Blair Hartland but he only played nine tests.
Pretty sure he scored more runs off his helmet than off his bat back in the day.

aaaaanyway
it's getting ugly for England. By all accounts it's brutally hot in Brisbane (so look for the 3rd session to get washed out), their spinner is getting flogged around the park, and these two are pretty set.

Only 31C?
The "feels like" is closer to 33 tho.Anyway, fuck all that. While humidity is reported at 45% they're Poms, and fielding in a cauldron sucks. And Wood looked injured and now Stokes is fucked.
