Another Masterclass from the Caps on how to squander a decent batting position.
CdG reverting to Village with the bat.What is comforting is remembering who we’re playing and how their top order is
-
Southee scored 47 runs off 49 balls in this match. Holding it down.
-
Pitch will only improve from here, England on top now.

Fuck this.
I'm off to bed.
5 mins later, an England wicket falls. You, sir, have the golden touch.

We had the foot on their throat, but took it off by losing too many wickets over a short time - what was dG thinking with that idiotic run out ? then Jamieson plays completely down the wrong line to a pretty straight ball etc... now it's really crucial we get very early wickets in the first session tonight to give us a crack at getting back into the game.
Day 3 - England require 61 runsBLACKCAPS - 132/10 (40) & 285/10 (91.3)
ENGLAND - 141/10 (42.5) & 216/5 (65) -

England’s top order failed again but because we completely shat the bed when we were batting they’re in the box seat.
Only slim chance is getting Root early, otherwise we’re fucked and due to give them their first test win in 17-18 tests ( I think )
Yeah, we especially need to get rid of Root early before he gets his eye in... we were disappointing in our home test series, now we put in a shite performance in this 1st test against the poms... also got to wonder about the fitness of Williamson, for such a class batsman he's batted poorly in both innings.

It’s the ebbs and flows of cricket. I’m sure he’s due one ( hopefully more ) massive score this series.
We do rely on him but England rely even more on Root.

Williamson's has had serious injury problems with his elbow, just wondering if it's affecting him ?

What I’m potentially worried about is KW having the sort of decline that Ponting, Tendulkar and Dravid had towards the end of their respective careers. I hope he avoids this as he’s surely got quite a few good years left
