I wouldn't play archer mind but we will see I'm not sure our spinners are good enough to bowl India out and that's what it will be down to

Fucks sake
What a brilliant 4 hours of cricket that was.
Such a huge difference between this game - which should produce a day 5 result - and the UAE borefests which produce them in the last session of the final day.

Brilliant days cricket that
Really enjoyed it
Totally agree
Must make a mention for the pitches in NZ which are an absolute disgrace
Been a good pitch this

Still can't get my head around chasing quick singles when you have over 3 sessions to score 60-odd. Did Bairstow think it was a 4 day game or summat? Is the weather forecast shit for tomorrow?

Only England could make chasing 74 look hard. 
Shouldn't have even had to bat a second time but for the collapsing tail in the first innings.
I'd have just stuck a NWM in when Sibley got out. However bad the opposition or small the target why would you make your top order bat in poor light on a turning deck after fielding all day?
Frlt like arrogance. They aren't a good team but ffs show the game situation a bit of respect

not sure he is interested in red ball cricket anymore. Especially after his shoulder injury
He’s not even that good a red ball bowler like
wouldnt pick him even if fit.
It’s like trying to pick Roy as opener

arrogance? Give over man
loads of players have got out poking n prodding this test match
very last thing you should do on that pitch
he positive is the way to go, they weren’t slogging at all
look how sibley got out, just a defensive mindset
and loads of teams struggle with these targets in Asia, it’s why Australia and South Africa always lose here and NZ only drew. I think that’s slight arrogance thinking we should walk these games
these are extreme conditions, so challenging and it’s great to watch

This match shows why Test Cricket is the best sport on the planet. Sri Lanka had no right to be in the position on day 1, but battled back superbly.
