16-0 from the first 8 overs this morning. Who needs the IPL?

Jonathan Agnew said a contributory factor for yesterday's slow over rate was the longish outfield grass. This has now been cut and England at drinks have dropped to under 2 an over.

I don't care if Pietersen DID call Flower a kvnt, without him the batting is simply a cure for insomnia.

 

[Krusty]

Prior gone LBW first ball... after Root gone ct behind for 40.

Southee on a hat-trick...

192-6

new zealand are bowling well and england have been so poor

 

[chucky1973]

this is shocking from England, you watch Rutherford hit a double ton

 

[brightonmark1234]

when new zealand bat they will make it look so easy

Jesus what is happening? Have I missed something in the last year we seem to have fallen apart and I don't understand why.

Strauss's retirement, Pietersen's injury, Broad's loss of form.

 

[brightonmark1234]

i blame our batting its been crap apart from the prior knock

 

[Krusty]

Run rate above 2 !!!

Lunch: England 209-8 (104 overs).

 

[Krusty]

Finn gone... 221-9

We will know soon enough if this is a difficult track to bat on.

 

[Krusty]

232 all out from 112.2 overs.

Slap-dash shot from Bairstow.

Not what you would expect when you win the toss at Lord's and bat.
