[Cricket] New Zealand vs. England 2nd Test Cello Basin Reserve, Wellington

[Triggaaar]

Why on earth is Leach bowling and not Anderson?

Maybe because now that they're out, they want Anderson fresh to attack the front line with a new ball

 

[Triggaaar]

And the Follow-on is enforced so England get their 4th Innings Chase after all!

Probably, but not necessarily

When did England last enforce the follow on in a Test?

Pakistan followed on at Southampton in 2020

Oh well off we go. I will be getting the evil eye if I stay up into the small hours 3 nights on the trot but I'll give it another half hour...

 

[fisons]

The Kiwi openers digging in well here. Plenty more cricket in this game.

Love the photo on the BBC page

 

[Triggaaar]

Annoying

 

[Triggaaar]

They should prepare a Test wicket better IMO
20/20 is another game.

It's not looking like that at the moment.

Better weather today, full house ,New Zealand showing some fight. Big hour coming up

 

[jakarta]

Woken up to see they are batting properly 2nd time around. Still 24 runs behind with 3 wickets down. Unless there is a LOT of rain can't see the Kiwis getting out of this.

Minus 24 for 3, batting first in a two-day one-innings match. Need to make the new ball talk, our line from all the seamers was pretty poor in this innings so far.

Looks from BBC Website yet another 'early' start i.e. 9.30PM. I'm running out of excuses to Mrs Jakarta especially as tomorrow is a working day...

And thanks again, I had it down for 22.00

Double Nelson Strikes!

Nicholls goes to Robinson, still trailing and now 4 down...

 

[jakarta]

Parity achieved but 4 wickets down, if Williamson goes anytime soon, so will the match.

 

[The Wizard]

This partnership looks absolutely key, Mitchell seems to forever be a thorn in Englands side.

 

[Brighton Lines]

I know it might be dumb, but I'm struggling to work out how they are 13 hours ahead of us. I thought the most is 12.

If you flew west on Concorde, you could get to your destination before you left your departure point. If you had enough fuel therefore, you could keep flying back in time, indeed past the point in time when Concorde was actually invented. How weird is that?

 

[Brighton Lines]

Record breaking England team could end up on the end of a rather unwanted one here.
