@canefan that was a white ball shot that he played so well in our summer wasn't it. Good signs

@majorrage tomorrow! In the media center box as well woo

Is that the UFO thing? I notice they have built a couple of stands either side now so it doesn't look quite as prominent

Yeah the alien pod thing, although now I have the tickets I see there's been a reshuffle to the Tavern Stand boxes instead. The new stands either side of the media center look great on TV, well see how they look live.

I need to get back on the buy side ....

Or move to JPM!

[canefan]

150 to Devon. Looks chilled

[Siam]

Fun fact: we made 523 in the first dig last time we played at lords. Good eh?

We lost by 124 runs...

[Siam]

Poms have got the best coverage and commentary in the game. End of.

I’m struggling to see the “fun” part of this fact.

[Siam]

@mn5 that's why you don't talk up like a shackle dragger

[Godder]

Apparently this is now the highest test debut score against England in England - the old record dated back to 1898 (if I heard the commentary right).

[canefan]

Wow, effortless checked drive by Conway down the ground

You could try vipboxtv as well. If you are willing to work through all the pop ups

Boo. Nicholls gone.

[canefan]

England essentially have a 4 prong attack, with Root filling in as a 5th. They will have a tough time over the 5 days

[sparky]

Wicket. Nicholls out for 61. 286/4 Caught by Robinson at fine leg off Wood. More bounce than he was expecting.

[No Quarter]

@mn5 can wear that wicket.

[Siam]

@canefan much prefer playing them sans stokes and archer

[Siam]

A bit naff from Nicholls. Not sure if that shot is a strength of his. Good bouncer though

[sparky]

Of the 9 best batting averages in this game, eight are from New Zealand batsman and the other belongs to Joe Root. Devon Conway is 164 not out in his first test innings so he doesn't have a test average yet.

[Godder]

CDG has the highest SR of current test players and has had since his debut. The English commentary I'm listening to really rates the NZ batting line up including Southee's ability to score quickly.

I am hoping if we're still batting last session of today there could be some big hitting fireworks
