**Official** England in New Zealand

[Smudge]

Looks like they're starting to ramp up the run-rate... even if it cost How his wicket. Hopefully Flem can march on to the unmentionable.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

What a take indeed.

Would like to see McCullum walk out now.

 

[NZTailender]

Incredible catch by Hoggard. one of the best.

 

[Athlai]

Unlucky there How, fantastic fielding. Goodness gracious I'd like to see Sinclair out of the team, so much promise yet never delivers.

 

[James_W]

Sinclair tbh, don't see any point in him being out there atm, he should've stayed below McCulluam and Taylor so fi they had a min-collapse, he could try to steady the ship.

Would help him if he got a decent run in the team.

Fleming out

 

[James_W]

FS Flem. After barely clearing Ian Bell with his last shot, he is caught of the next ball. They need to score quick, but 8 runs had already came off the over, was unneccesary. Top innings though.

McCullum in.

 

[Athlai]

Fleming out

Yeah but I'd love to see us stop beating around the bush and either keep him or get rid of him. I'd rather us be rid of him.

And Fleming is denied his 7000 this match. A shame.

 

[NZTailender]

McCullum out there. Expecting fireworks.

Edit: No.

Nah, FWIW I think Sinclair's the second best batsman in the country behind Fleming.

 

[Athlai]

If McCullum is still in by the end of the day I'm expecting us to be up by 350.

 

[James_W]

McCullum gone.

 

[Athlai]

Nah, FWIW I think Sinclair's the second best batsman in the country behind Fleming.

Reckon he's been underachieving for long enough.

McCullum ya bugger!

 

[Nate]

Deadset stupidest shot first-ball.

 

[Nate]

Haha Kiwis. Heard of a leave? Another top take mind.

 

[James_W]

Alistair Cook outstanding! Big edge from Sinclair, and I can't believe Cook has done it again. England could win this. All 3 results are possible now.

 

[NZTailender]

Another brilliant catch by Cook. Game definitely on.

 

[PY]

Hat-trick!!! AWESOME!

England are back in this!

 

[James_W]

Sidebottom gets Oram! 5fa! My my this is exciting.

 

[Nate]

HATTRICK! First I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!
