Jeepers Harris proves what a waste of space he is once again at this level with a Boycott like innings of three.

What a curious mix of utterly brilliant and utterly dogshit that Australian batting line up is….

Fair to say not the most explosive of starts for the hosts. I want to turn it on and watch but as I’ve just got back home after a few days away for work I’d better not disturb the peace by watching “boring cricket that NZ aren’t even playing in”

EDIT: Actually Harris is the only passenger, the rest are pretty worthy….as are the bowlers.

Poms not having much luck

That was utter bullshit with Warner just now

Poms have bowled really well today. They want to get another 9 wickets before tomorrow's 35+ weather.

Labuschagne gets 50 off thrice as many deliveries. Had some luck but mentally tough overall.

Even Henry Nicholls reckons these batsmen are pushing their luck.

Warner has finally got his strike rate to 50.

The other guy thinks he’s Trevor Franklin

He tried a reverse sweep - didn't hit anything - the ball hit his lower back and missed the stumps by the whisker.

Warner gone again in the 90s.

Threw it away. Worst time to do it as well.

Finding an offside fielder wasn’t easy

A millisecond later with his wrists and it was 4

1/250 at the end of play was looking good.

Ants in his pants is out there now, under the lights, pink ball and spotlight on him.

Almost few sorry for him….almost

Buttler is a horrid test wicket keeper...

NTA

Buttler has dropped two absolute sitters today and caught the most difficult one.

And the crowd are letting him know it.
