*Official* England in NZ 2023

Stokes knew. Seriously fantastic innings, contained everything that makes him so good.

He certainly wanted Root to reach 150 in this innings. Maybe he knew about the average too. Either way, as you say, a terrific knock.

I wasn't too far off the mark then about declaration.

We have batting till no 8 we should put some reasonable runs at least 300.

All out 123 incoming

 

[Prince EWS]

They're not bothering to complete the innings so never mind

Completing an innings is soooo 2021.

Just catching up on the morning, wd Henry on the 4-fer. In theory day 2 a good time to bat at the Basin, though as mentioned the new ball is still doing quite a bit here.

Let's not have Young in before the 15th over pls.

Bracewell 5*

 

[Brook's side]

actually a brilliant knock from Root.

Nah mate we'll be all right this time around. It's the home ground for Conway, Blundell and bracewell. They'll know how to bat on this

 

[trundler]

Scenes if Bracewell now gets more runs than Young too.

[Skyliner]

The stage is set for Tom Latham to play an obstinate, fighting innings and glue the NZ response together.

 

[chris.hinton]

Hahahaha

Already a wicket

New Zealand should just tap out

 

[straw man]

sigh

 

[Brook's side]

did NOT think he'd hit that in a million years!!

 

[grecian]

Jimmeh, Jimmeh.

 

[Howe_zat]

Everyone closer than the umpire heard it but you can't see it. So dire as an umpire. You have no idea but the wicketkeeper does.

 

[NZTailender]

That's the thing about being 1 for 1, you're 4 wickets and 122 runs away from 5/123
