England v New Zealand (2nd test)

[TheRey]

Another? I’m three minutes behind think I may turn off notifications on this thread or I could actually do some work

Well I got on the tube with us just restarting after lunch, get off and we're three down!

How many are they letting in? Must admit I was expecting to see some sections a bit more spaced out with more gaps

They'll be plenty of space on Saturday

18,000 they have said today it’s a government test game

Just seen Crawleys dismissal. Jesus Christ, get the lad back to K*nt and bring in someone who can hold a bat.

Didn’t realise that. Hope you enjoy the day

Scary how much we miss stokes and buttler the latter gets loads of stick but I would feel a lot safer When those two are back.

Think burns is cementing his position as an opener but two and three need to be looked at.

Let's not rewrite history Buttler was on his way out of the side till that partnership with Woakes less than 12 months ago.

Only have to social distance in communal areas as part of the experiment.

Burns is showing how good this pitch can be played by a batsmen I like that he’s ducking a lot more instead of trying to play everything above his shoulder

Crawley must be thinking, what is this magic

Played Rory lad, now double it again

Pleased for Burns

Apart from 200 odd, he's been average

Average is generous, I’d say he’s been absolutely shite

If average= dogshit, then yes I would agree

I said it during the first Test, I know it's not a fair argument to cherry pick innings, especially to prove a point, but if you take out Crawleys 267 (which was excellent), he averages around 20.

He's like a poundshop James Vince with his dismissals, too.
