New Zealand v England 3rd test Hamilton

[Aidan11]

Root still feeling it in the box.

 

[Hyltons finest]

Looked plum to me that

 

[Aidan11]

Bugger.

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Not sure if the bullseye hit in the crown jewells effected Root but he played that sweep shot like a 70 year old.

 

[Aidan11]

Need a 400 run stand from these two.

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Brut of a delivery from O'rourke to get Brook.

 

[FatCat2402]

Here we go...

That was close

 

[Aidan11]

Not out. Looked a bit high but closer than I thought.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Lucky lucky boy. It’s a poor shot first up

 

[Aidan11]

Can't see Pope lasting long.

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Nobody looking comfortable against O'rourke.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Bethell needs to continue to bat properly. Even with chaos around him. Show you can get a ton (and more). Don’t get flustered by wickets falling and attack ridiculously

Nobody looking comfortable against O'rourke.

He’s bowled 6 now. They need to see out 1 more maybe

 

[Aidan11]

Shot, Pope.

 

[ManBearPig82]

Bethell's done well here. 90 mph bowler with a gale behind him and up and down bounce

 

[Aidan11]

WTF is Harmy wearing?

I’m an absolute convert. Thought it was a joke pick. And he’s proven me (and many) hilariously wrong.

He looks unruffled and technically solid. And clearly has the shots

 

[Aidan11]

Deficit below 500 now.

Sigh

 

[Aidan11]

Ah crap.

That first century still eludes Bethell.

 

[Safc98]

Truly awful shot. How many of them are going to look back on their careers and wonder how many 100s they chucked away by playing stupid cricket.
