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

[nzfan]

I'm not sure about our weird plans to play out time. We wanted to set up the game yesterday but come today we want to play time with the tail that's known not to defend? A bit muddled thinking that particularly with new ball due as well.

Injured or not KJ seems to have totally lost the ability to put the middle of the bat on ball lately

 

[nzfan]

12 more runs if we can and I think we have enough to change course.

Definitely not gone our way today. It's England so far.

 

[Mike5181]

Trent Boult's basically doing live commentary here

 

[White Ball]

Time for Mitchell to bat like Bazza

 

[nzfan]

I know people enjoy Boult's reaction every ****ing ball but I just can't stand it. The guy should shut up this is not a ****ing circus and we're not paying to watch clowns.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I'm not paying anything so I say clown it up.

Henry's approach made sense to me but Jamieson's was ridiculous - should've been trying to hold up and end for Mitchell to hit out. Boult can't, so now Mitchell's left runs on the table.

 

[Moss]

Why take the new ball when the tail is happy to front up against the short stuff I suppose.

Surely Mitchell just goes for it now? If he hadn't already shown he's a consummate team man it would almost feel like he's playing for the red inker.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Great field to number 11.

au contraire nzfan, we are

 

[Fuller Pilch]

World record!

 

[jcas0167]

Lol, congratulations Boult on that milestone.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Awesome. Boult at 11

Now clear of Murali as the sole record holder.

 

[Flametree]

Congrats Boult. I don't think you'll get overtaken today at least...

Subscription?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

50 for Mitchell. Well batted (again).

 

[kevinw]

I think we're at the point where if I were England, I'd take my 1-0 lead, thanks very much.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

So much for the brave new world. Instead of spreading the field, use the new ball conventionally and try to get him out.

 

[Moss]

Excellent effort again holding the innings together Mitchell. Though would probably have hit out and farmed strike a bit earlier.
