*Official* New Zealand in England 2021

looks like enough movement there tbh. gonna be a tough examination for these two

There's bound to be a bit but not like we see in NZ. Reasonable pace in the pitch, comes on to the bat. I thought England decks are slow. Latham looking at ease.

 

[_Ed_]

Opening the batting on debut and still hasn't faced a ball as we head into the third over.

 

[trundler]

Southee would've taken two by now

 

[Meridio]

Dukes ball tends to not swing as much in the first few overs as the Kookaburra, usually takes a bit to get the shine off one side then it starts swinging.

Lords has the slope for the bowlers to work with plus the seam of the duke. Dunno, it's just a different prospect.

Also I don't think NZ pitches have that much movement. Our bowlers just know how to get swing in NZ conditions (i.e. pitch it the **** up)

No Nasser, Southee cannot bat.

Finally Conway gets to face a ball in the fourth over.

They're hitting the seam all right but radar is a bit off and yet to see 3 quarters used.

 

[harsh.ag]

Two good sides. NZ have the edge in batting.

Conway's balance going into the shot is a little awkward. First time watching him for me.

What do you mean by 3 quarters?

Anderson is swinging it both ways. Not miles, but clearly knows what he's doing.

 

[trundler]

Broad a bit wayward so far

4 lbs just as I say that

 

[Tom Flint]

Why isn't stone playing is he unfit?

 

[NZTailender]

so is this being broadcast for free anywhere or is it behind a paywall all over the globe?

I’d be happy with radio but can’t seem to find any feeds

3 quarter seam that both Anderson and Broad are famous for. Deliberately scrambling the seam.

 

[Bahnz]

Good stuff from Latham, kept Conway off strike for 3 overs, the average amount of time he has in the pavillion before coming out to bat at 3 for Wellington.

 

[trundler]

Latham been very solid so far. Jimmy A has been pretty tight too

 

[straw man]

Think Latham has played Anderson very well so far. Looks slightly more suspect against Broad from around the wicket though.

You guys might have live feeds, but I'm learning Hindi through the Cricinfo commentary.

 

[trundler]

Glorious punch
