Not getting to watch it live but tried looking for highlights later on tonight, either BBC or Channel 5 have had them in the past, anybody any clues where I'd find them tonight. Cheers.

TV guide says 7pm BBC Two

What they waiting for?

McCullum to resign

I thought he'd been in good form for Surrey but after them first two games he's been a bunny.

Absolutely dreadful leave

Averages 15.9 from his last 15 test innings. Still think he will come good

In at 7, setting up to see off the first new ball.

Well I backed him for a hundred 20 odd mins ago.

He's a good player that probably would have had a few tons in Aus if his brain had been turned on.

Thinking about what the spread is like for tea

The buffet will be in full swing when we start bowling

He's a brilliant ball hitter, with no defence and no in-game intelligence.

This wicket is treacherous right now but the New Zealand bowling is excellent. The lines are spot on.

Yes, but still expect NZ to make 300 on it without too much fuss. Just needs careful batting. Duckett was staggering around, bat miles from the ball when he got out, like he was still in Noosa.

Disagree with the defence bit personally, have watched him a lot with Surrey and he plays very straight

 

[Hetty]

Got away with it

I fully expect us to serve up lots of leg-side rubbish. We’ve seen it too often.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Oh bugger

 

[Scotty 1978]

That’s a superb catch

 

[Julio Mackemo]

Brilliant that...

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Ridiculous catch
