Last time two bowlers bowled unchanged in a completed innings was England v New Zealand five years ago Records | Test matches | Team records | Two bowlers unchanged in a completed innings | ESPNcricinfo

How dare an edge not go to hand? This is not how cricket works today.

I don't mind if that change happens before we bat tbh

 

[Zinzan]

This is the worst batting performance in the history of cricket by England right now lol.

They have been guilty of hovering on the crease, but I think it's just been one of those days like Trent Bridge where everything is edged & everything has gone to hand. NZ's bowlers deserve slightly more credit than the Eng batsmen deserve criticism.

 

[Cabinet96]

Lucky we played the extra bowler.

People thought I was being sarcastic. It would've been under 26 if we'd picked Vince instead.

 

[Zinzan]

ESPN top ten highlights reel for Kane there.

A better than his last one, which was a juggling act.

 

[Moss]

This is some score to wake up to. Good God.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Just woke up. Have I missed anything?

 

[Gnske]

You know what, let them go past 45. Let Overton beat Bannerman's record just because he's such a top lad.

 

[Pothas]

So this is like the warm up matches and everyone gets to bat again right?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Have NZ a couple down by lunch and it game on.

 

[Athlai]

When was the last time the third umpire clarified a rule for commentary? I'm impressed

 

[straw man]

Someone tell Overton this is just not on

 

[vcs]

WTF? Dumbfounded to wake up to this.

 

[Zinzan]

Be mental to complain................ but........ this is familiar territory. NZ do amazingly well to get 8-9 wickets & then just can't quite finish it off without cost.

 

[Spikey]

pretty pathetic from new zealand this

 

[Adders]

The **** has gone on here? Just checked the score for the first time since 6/2........i had the ****s then ffs.

 

[Cabinet96]

Actually Bannerman could be in danger here.

 

[Daemon]

Man this is so fun. Rooting for Overton now.

 

[harsh.ag]

181 a.o.

I just can’t understand why they didn’t have everyone in the cordon when that nick went flying through at 9 down. McCullum probably wouldn’t have had anyone in front of square by that stage.
