    Southee's easy rhythmic bowling action and being a low 130s operator might make him well suited to play through to 37-38 like some have, imo, but it hasn't happened. I agree that 34-35 feels a little young to have lost his zip... but he has, occasional opening spell aside. Thirty four (or 33...

    Bad luck for ND with the rain washing out a certain victory - 23 runs needed when they went off during session 2 after O'Donnell had hit five 6s to try lift the rate.
