[Abel Tasman]

Judging from the amount of comments in this thread it seems interest in this Test is low.

Its just getting going.

205 not looking too bad now

 

[Alzi]

set up quite nicely, they can take it away from us still or we could skittle them.

Umpire's call just looks daft when their graphic is of the ball hitting the bails square.

Englands bowlers have battled brilliantly today, though bess still giving away cheap runs. We could get them out with not much in it but I don't see where the runs are going to come from.
Though stokes looks like he might have one of his special tests in him. I just have the feeling if we do win it will be stokes getting the headlines.

Dom Bess is having a nightmare.

At least this match might make it into day 3.

Actually I always thought the future of test cricket would be 2 day games. Each team has 2 up to 50 over innings. Innings one and two on day 1, innings three and four on day 2. Highest aggregate wins, only two results - win or tie.

I would hope not, I’ve always liked this format.

 

[Mwelolo]

Need a wicket soon

We needed Bess to hold up an end, now Stokes is bowling himself into the ground before the new ball.

Doesn't have to ability to do so, cant go 6 balls without bowling a full toss

Not sure he can.

 

[Alzi]

Pant is brilliant, some innings this. Potentially looking match winning already.

 

[changingman]

He's fearless with the bat isn't he. Makes a big difference having someone who can bat aggressively in that position (Buttler?)

 

[BigChubby]

That absolute shambles of a batting performance yesterdaywill ultimately cost us. This is not a 200 run wicket especially on day 1

 

[Mwelolo]

Come on Jimmy

 

[Chris_Boro]

Not sure he can.

He can't and hasn't, but we needed it if we had any chance of winning the game.

 

[Borobuddah]

Getting smashed all over the place

 

[Carlos Fandango]

This is getting messy

 

[changingman]

Anyone else wishing Rashid would reconsider his reluctance to play red ball cricket?
