England v New Zealand (2nd test)

Aye was wasting my time copying and pasting from Cricinfo.

As he'd beaten me by less than a minute.

Also looks like we're playing for the draw already.

Personally no issue with batting like this at this point in the match

Haway man, we are 10 overs into the first morning. 2 an over is absolutely fine if we aren’t losing wickets.

Looks a big crowd, have rules changed since lords ? Or were the lords organisers cautious

Was just wondering this

Interesting that NZ have weakened their tail too, Wagner was in at 11 and he’s now listed at 8 this week

I wasn't being serious.

I'm not evening watching despite making a game thread

Makes a change not to be 30-3 by now.

Is the crowd noise getting played on sky the real noise? Don't know as it's been a while but it still seems fake. Constant and consistent buzz

Yep. People can say what they want about the openers but they do a good job seeing off a new ball

Enjoyed this morning it’s good to not see root after 20-30! Runs.
Good opening batting.

But then have no gears to go through once that job is done. It isn’t just the job of openers to see off the new ball. I understand that it’s difficult to knock batsmen churning out runs but I think these two are a problem for England in tests. Tin hat at the ready
