Toss: New Zealand won the toss and decided to field (so England have lost)

Marcus Trescothick is an absolute twat, run out going for a crazy run.

England 4-1 off 3.1 overs.

 

[Beach Hut]

FFS - Trescothick you total twat.

What a way to be run out

 

[Trigger]

Don't worry, Robert Key is in now...

 

[Trigger]

57-3 off 16.1 overs, Vaughan and the customary Key wicket have both fallen.

 

[Beach Hut]

57 - 3 looks familiar

 

[Beach Hut]

100 up - looking better

 

[dougdeep]

160 for 3, this is better.

 

[fatbadger]

Just passed 150 - with Strauss 47no & Flintoff 58no. If these two can stay in, and if Freddy keeps smacking the ball around, we could be in for an acceptable total.

 

[Trigger]

Much better, 47 overs gone and England are 214-4!

Lets hope Freddy (88 not out) smacks the next 3 overs out the ground!

 

[Trigger]

100 up for Freddy

And just how lightning quick is Collingwood between the wickets!

 

[Beach Hut]

Collingwood out - excellent ton by Freddie

 

[Trigger]

England finish on 237-7

Not bad

 

[fatbadger]

Freddy

 

[Rougvie]

England finish on 237-7

Not bad

Not great either tho.

 

[fatbadger]

At least the bowlers have something to bowl at this time.

 

[Trigger]

Sajid Mahmood is shit.

5 overs for about 32764873265443 runs.

NZ past the 100 without losing a wicket.

 

[fatbadger]

Worse still, I've been watching NZ's run rate slowly increase, until it is now approaching their required RR. Jeez.

 

[fatbadger]

NZ past the halfway mark, 26 overs down, 24 to go. Still no wicket.

The BEARDED Harmison bowls Astle 122-1
