[HeathDavisSpeed]

Biggest cheer of the day for that no ball.

 

[Gnske]

Just a reminder if Williamson double tons up none of you should stand and applaud

 

[FBU]

3 no balls so far

 

[thierry henry]

It's the third umpire's job to watch

On the frame where his foot first touches the ground that’s a 50/50 call at worst for the bowler.

 

[King Kane]

Always funny when a bowler and the fielders celebrate a wicket only for it to be called a no ball to halt the party, except when it's your team celebrating.

 

[Burgey]

NZ miles on top here. Great day for them. England have been lucky to get as many as they have, could easily have been skittled for tuppence ha'penny.

Hell yeah

 

[thierry henry]

Last time I look this gift horse in the mouth, but when Carse’s foot first touches the ground, if you draw a line down the back of his shoe it’s behind the line. I don’t get that at all.

 

[King Kane]

Latham chopping on and it doesn't look like there will be a no ball reprieve for him, he doesn't deserve it with that nothing shot.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Just your typical England scorecard. A partnership sandwiched by two collapses.

It would be a good one for an umpire to explain/confirm

 

[Skyliner]

Scotty waffling on remorselessly: don’t these commentators know the phrase ‘silence is golden’, don’t fill every single second with inane chuntering.

 

[King Kane]

That looks a clean catch from Carse, we are in trouble now, stumps can't come quick enough and it doesn't look like rain or bad light will save us.

 

[straw man]

Damn, that's a huge wicket. Think that makes it England's day.

 

[thierry henry]

Pitch is still quite tough for batting. Maybe we should have just tried bowling gud to Brook instead of shitting our pants and giving up I dunno

 

[Skyliner]

Ravindra finding new and inventive ways to get out. Some serious knuckling down needs to happen here.

 

[Daemon]

No, it will always be acceptable to consider the entire English team as crap lucky flukers.

I understand, thank you for the affirmation

He is still an inexperienced work in progress as a test batsman, I would still rather we stuck with him than going back to the more experienced Nicholls,

 

[Flem274*]

How did this team win in India lol

 

[Skyliner]

Definitely.
Perhaps a new batting coach is needed. Are the bulk of these players making progress with Ronchi in the role? KW can coach himself, most of the rest seem to be going backwards, and Conway and Blundell have fallen off a cliff.

 

[straw man]

Ruh roh

Now definitely England's day
