England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

[PlayerComparisons]

These batting lineups look pretty evenly matched

Holy over rate

Part of saving Test cricket is surely bowling more than 20 overs on the brink of lunch?

I blame the slow outfield

So many 3s #hagleysobig

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ben Stokes looking more and more like Chris Woakes

Holy over rate

If we are no more than 4 down at tea we can destroy them in the 3rd session. They'll be cooked and will have a lot to bowl.

The King is looking imperious

Bethell to bowl unchanged all session.

Bowling himself out of the attack

We #caress the ball instead of #boshing it

Finn Allen can really bosh a six.

Kane Williamson can really caress a three.

 

[straw man]

Missed the first hour of play, but despite Atkinson drawing the edge that fell short of slips it looks very nice for batting out there. Pitch looks very easy-paced. So we have to make it count.

If this is a typical flattening NZ seamy road, then the side bowling first will be very pleased if they can toil and dismiss the opposition for 350, then rack up 550 in reply. Think we need one of these two to make a big hundred and score 450+. No gifts please.

Going to be much better weather for bowling tomorrow and day 3. Overcast and cool.

 

[BazBall21]

How has nobody picked that up? Freakish

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Nice acting Rachin. Now ton up

 

[hendrix]

Ball is definitely still doing enough.

England have largely missed their lengths.

will be an absolute pancake tomorrow though.

 

[Bahnz]

Wow, Rachin lucky!

 

[thierry henry]

In real time didn't see or hear any indication of that edge at all tbh

Dunno if the weather will change much because the pitch will be dead by then.

Hasn't done much in the air and IIRC doesn't tend to swing much in Chch.
