Cricket

Oh dear...

Though we may be following on, so I may get to see them bat yet.

That's game over. Brilliant. First test I'll see in ages and we're on the end of a complete spanking.

This will be over today at this rate.

FFS England.

Bazball really is something else

Proper captain's innings, that. Nice one, Stokesy.

'If'* these two stick around England could finish the day in the lead.

• Doing all the heavy lifting in this overly optimistic suggestion.
  

LOL. It'll be over by close of play.

nonsense, we can easily avoid the follow on at this rate.

Agreed,
Just another 42 needed of toned down Bazball.

Bazball is alright

England are going to save Test cricket.

Jonny you beast

Re-thinking?

Fair to say Bairstow likes the McCullum era

Is there any reason why someone with a musical instrument should be allowed into a cricket ground?

Maybe tell the so-and-so he can have it inserted somewhere?

Never underestimate the power of reverse mockers.

55 - 6

Bairstow.

Not on my watch.

Not this time.

I almost feel sorry for NZ. They've approached this series as organised and played decent test cricket only to be undone by freak dismissals and ripped apart by never before seen batting.

Incredible this side. I don't imagine we'll see a draw in english tests for some time.

You have a knack of raising England innings from the dead with your doom mongering!

What a bizarre game/series of cricket. Batsmen keep popping up to paper over some serious cracks.

I would like to see Crawley and Pope go and play some county cricket before the SA tests. Hopefully Wood might be back in contention by then too.
