[Cricket] 2nd Test Eng v NZ @ Headingly

[Titanic]

NZ 400-7 (86 overs / 4.65RR) and counting...

 

[Titanic]

NZ 420-7

That would be a record 4th innings run chase in the history of Test Match cricket.

Southee (39 from 20 balls) took 20 off that over from Broad.

76 from the last 10 overs.

 

[Simster]

NZ are scoring so quickly that they are effectively buying themselves an extra half a session in which to bowl England out.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

WICKET at the Cricket! Wheel winn now.

 

[Titanic]

Southee holes out from Ali to long on... 40 from 26 balls.

NZ batting on 435-8

 

[Titanic]

Henry comes in at no.10 and smashes Broad first ball for six...

448-8

 

[Titanic]

and repeats the dose... 3 sixes off the over from Broad... and with that McCullum has seen enough...

NZ declare on 454-8 (91 overs, 4.98RR)

A world record chase for England??

 

[Simster]

Henry comes in at no.10 and smashes Broad first ball for six...

448-8

Amusing. Broad is a total ****.

 

[spring hall convert]

Well that was complete carnage

 

[Prince Monolulu]

England are 7/1 to win. 7/1 ffs...I'd want 77/1.

Yes, right.......

More likely it will England 150 all out by Tea.

 

[Badger]

Which session will England lose in?

I reckon tomorrow morning

 

[KZNSeagull]

8 different players hit a 6 in that innings for NZ. A new world record for a Test Match. Well bowled

 

[Titanic]

171 overs to bat... 455 to win... 2.66RR

Should be easy enough.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

England are 7/1

One down already? FFS.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

One down already? FFS.

Worse still, B365 say 13/2!

 

[KZNSeagull]

Yup, lots of records being broken recently. Why not another one?*

*apart from the fact that we are not that good.

 

[KZNSeagull]

the last time the fourth-innings chase world record was broken, in Antigua in 2003, both teams also made exactly the same score in the first innings. It's on...

 

[Gwylan]

If England were to win this it would not only be the highest fourth-innings chase in test cricket but it would be the highest ever fourth innings score (not counting the timeless test of 1938)

On that basis odds of 7/1 are CRAP
