Pottsy!

This test cricket is easy. Top batsman with your 5th ball…

Chuffed for Potts! Set him up brilliantly

Fuck me what a nut

Uh oh cricket.

Away from TMS.
Presume Vaughan is advising the England bowling attack needs to be a bit sharper to give this rookie batting line up a realistic target.

We seem to have moved the collapse from the top to the middle.

The 5th day of a 5-Day Test might be a collectors item this Suumer.

Vaughan

I thought he’d stepped down from media appearances. He was on TMS. I was confused (and disappointed).

The 5th day of a 5-Day Test might be a collectors item this Suumer.

Rain though…

The england cricket team rarely fail to disappoint

True enough.
The English weather might ensure reliable 4th days.

Lovely evening watching Surrey, mind

Friday night here in NZ, red wine and crisps at the ready, no reason to get up early tomorrow. Will probably be snoring in an hour…

Young has faced 11 balls in this test and twice been bowled by Anderson.
Thats got to mess with your head every time walking out to bat in this series.

produce a collapse at any point

Young has faced 11 balls in this test and twice been bowled by Anderson.

And Williamson's faced 7 balls against Potts and got out twice for no runs. Not a bad bunny to have...

The low scoring games are the best ones right?

Oh dear

Predictions for the day? Surprising lack of #insight here. We'll need to have a lead of 300+ at least for a chance, the pitch looks pretty flat now. What's the chance of some cloud cover to see some swing?

One of the collateral benefits of England playing New Zealand
is the presence on TMS of the excellent Jeremy Coney.

I dearly love Jeremy’s contributions on TMS, but he did sound a bit unhinged a few times yesterday.

Quick few poles with the new ball then maybe, but I've little faith in this frail batting side doing anything...

Unfortunately I have not been able to listen to the live TMS coverage, so reliant upon the podcast.
'unhinged': 17 wickets in a day, then another 7 for not many, then a 180+ stand!
It's not the Test cricket of his playing days.

Fucking hell hahahahaha
