*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

[91Jmay]

Delighted for Cook. Got a lot of deserved stick over last couple of seasons but one of best English bats ever, and responsible for some of best moments in English cricket history.

NZ keeping it tight and a bit unlucky in general, Henry looked good before last over of wierd stuff.

Time to see what Mitch's bff is made of.

Fantastic to see Southee giving the ball flight and tossing it up at 79.5 mph even though there is not much turn and try to get the ball to dip and beat the batsman in flight. #donesweet****allsinceEngWCgame

Bowling Henry.

if you can't knock the bails off, knock the other bails off

Have you not seen the video of Mitch and Craig dancing together? You haven't lived

wasnt that munro?

if we can actually catch the bloody edge here and have it go to hand safely then we're a chance of nabbing several. there are loose balls but there are plenty of very good leaves and near misses too.

Just tuned in to this Test for the first time and there appears to be a man dressed like a clown bowling ****ty offspin

 

[Furball]

Good stuff from Lyth.

Now double it.

 

[Adders]

Well done Lyth........and 100 opening stand which have been very few and far between over the last 2 years.

My mistake. There weren't many headshots in the video tbf.

Has looked a tad unsettled at times, but a good innings nonetheless. Big runs and you'd think he has the whole Ashes.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Great stuff from this pair.

Delighted for Lyth to get a score. Takes pressure off him a bit.

yeah we get it this series makes you miserable. thanks for telling us for the 55th time.

played lyth. copped some undeserved stick during the previous test i feel. hope england don't randomly drop him if he starts the ashes poorly.

Should get the Ashes unless he looks ridiculously out of his depth. At some point the merry go round at the top of the order needs to end.

Bowling Henry.

Been an extremely undisciplined performance so far from Henry. Bowled all over the place really and why at his pace he's been told to bowl short to Lyth is beyond me. If he decides to bowl a more consistent line and length, there is a lot in the wicket for a bowler like him.

 

[Cabinet96]

lol at Craig going for 0.4 an over.

 

[Mike5181]

104 on the board with no wickets down, and Ali all the way down at number 8. Fair to say this is looking pretty ominous.
