a quick comparison, if you will indulge me
Test match opening bat has been a problem child for NZ as long as any of us can remember, we have had a fair number of shit ones
Marcus Harris currently averages 23.77
That is good enough to land him at #25 in the list of NZ openers with at least 10 tests.
The only names below him are How, Franklin, and Pocock.
There are some very ordinary names ahead of him
This is not a vintage Australian batting lineup.

When you are below Matthew "crazy feet" Bell it's not ideal......

Stokes gets Davey but has overstepped.
Both dickwads so who cares
Agree about Davey, but why don't you like Stokes? Apart from fighting a while ago Stokes has been ok hasn't he?

England just all over the shop. No luck, then bad mistakes like over-stepping and a drop.

The body language from a couple of them hasn't been great.

Middle of last session the commentators were saying they'd bowled without luck and it could have been different - but, I was already thinking that's no use. By the end of this game they'll surely be beating the drum of making your own luck, failure to take chances and comprehensively outplayed - unless the worm somehow turns and right now that doesn't seem likely.

Leach buys Labooshane with a park cricket wicket.

Too overrated

England on the go-slow. They need to do 44 overs in the final session. Just bullshit play trying to minimise the damage and wait for rain
-
4 wickets in 8 overs.

Green first ball

That was just insanity. Yes it may have kept a little low but your off-stump is exposed and he's bowling from wide on the crease. Fucking hell..

Not his fault. He would have been handy for us in India though.

England almost teetered on the brink of getting back in the game, but Head has taken that away.
