Now does anyone know if they can/will start early today, yet?

Someone told me we can get as many as 196 overs in on the last two days? But we'd need to resume play early each day, and/or play on later.

It’s England. Nothing starts early or finishes on time.

@crucial
head to head results in Official ICC events - NZC is doing pretty well there (especially as we can count the 2 zip test series last year)

Simon Doull said something on the commentary, that most tests in England in recent times have been completed inside the number of overs left in the game

Looking like we’re starting on time according to cricinfo

@majorrage that may be one of the worst sports "articles" i have ever read

it reads like a bunch of posts on a sports forum from a slightly older, slightly demented member.

Fuck off Mark, no one likes you.

I can think of one or two that fit that description ...

... I make no further comment ...

I am serious that we should try and score at 4 an over + from the start tonight and see what happens. The risk is worth it imo.

This pitch is hard to bat on. Agree we should play assertive cricket (rather than aggressive), but expecting 4/over from the outset is a big ask.

CDG could be a key person for us... 50 quick runs in the context of this game would be sensational. Althouhg - if Pant can't score runs quickly, who can?

Is Pant 2021's unbeatable Springboks? ie., his rep is that he is so awesome he'll win the game on his own?

We're not playing yet, and booboo bedtime only works when we need a wicket.

Rain in Southampton. What a surprise…

[No Quarter]

Agrrrhhh

[MN5]

Fuck

[Paekakboyz]

Ffs!! Gagging for some cricket

[MN5]

Fuck this I’m off to bed.

Probably won’t be any play there either.

[KiwiMurph]

@mn5 have a bat....

[Donsteppa]

Day 103.

It is still raining in Southampton.

The domestic season in NZ resumes without the Black Caps.

Ross Taylor remains 0*

[shark]

This is FUCKED

[KiwiMurph]

Play is starting at half past.

[MajorRage]

I'm 50 miles north east which is where the weather is coming from & it's bright here with minimal cloud. So once it starts, it should be off to the races. We had light drizzle around 2 hours ago as well.

[Canes4life]

Let’s go lads. Game on.
