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

King Kane

International Regular
That yorker was too good for O'Rourke, at least he hung around long enough for Phillips to add another 20 odd runs and get us close to 350.

Thank god that’s over

take some overhauling that score though and inserting may turn out to be completely the wrong choice

Won't repeat myself again but think that's a poor batting effort from both the middle and lower order.

New ball vital and looks like it should swing. Keen to see how Smith goes. Henry the key bowler, while O'Rourke will find any uneven bounce in the wicket. If England get to 30 overs only 1-2 down I think they'll go big Bazball.

I'm definitely worried did think it wasn't a bad toss to lose. As the weather surprised me being as hot as it was and definitely dulled the movement.

Conditions perfect today. Henry I reckon could run riot.

I'm sorry but Crawley is disgusting and I really hope we don't let them get away with having a player like that opening the batting in test cricket.
