*Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

Not listening right now, but assuming it's Darren Gough.

Ah yes, sounded very Yorkshire indeed.

I really like Mitchell as a cricketer. Looks like a quiet achiever who's had to prove himself. No histrionics and doesn't seem to crave attention which is a real positive imo. I really admire players who start to get a grasp of there game in there late 20s (i.e Hussey, Van Der Dussen, Trott) and flourish

Taking charge second innings in a row, well played Mitchell. Double it

 

[Moss]

Second century partnership in a row for these two!

 

[Nintendo]

Second drop for root today.

 

[Aritro]

The way he looks, the way he bats, and also, his actual name; everything about him is so "Darryl Mitchell".

You'll find him on LinkedIn.

Just switched on to see NZ coasting along very nicely on what appears to be a pretty friendly batting track and assumed it was a good toss for them to win. Until it transpired that Stokes won the toss and chose to bowl. Do we have any clue why he thought that might be a good idea?

 

[Heboric]

Only TMS to go on and on how lucky the opposition batsmen were, thats poor form

NZ would have bowled too had they won the toss.

Astonishing. But the day's play has still made a mockery of Stokes' decision unless he's been badly let down by his bowlers.

Both sides seemed to think the ball would do a bit early. It didn't, looked flat from the first over.

England's bowling and, especially, fielding hasn't been blameless though.

 

[Preed]

Please explain to me what Leach is doing in a test team.Even team like Bangladesh have better spinners

 

[Preed]

Todays fielding is back to the same rubbish as last year

 

[sledger]

Frustrating for England struggling to see off a team with so much weakness

 

[hazsa19]

Following up that feel good win with a questionable call at the toss, lacklustre bowling , weird plans and dreadful catching. That’s England for you.

But apart from that we've been OK today?

Winning the game and helping the opposition out with catching practice

 

[Aritro]

Leach has been bowling too fast IMO. Seems to be in the high 80s the whole time.

 

[Gremlin]

A very average day from England.

 

[Uppercut]

It’s so hard to see England coming back from a bad day in the field. When they get bowled out for not much it always still feels like they have a chance.
