Black Caps v England
-
That's worth a review surely, tho probably clipping
-
we're getting fucking smacked here jesus
-
two guys bowling together, combined records of 338 tests and 1,244 wickets. that's figgen impressive
-
Wonderful innings from Blundell. He needs to go full attack now, T20 style, as we don't want to be out there too much longer. I'd honestly be thinking about a declaration to make the most of the new ball under lights if we stay out there too long.

I think they want a few more shadows before gettin gthe ball. But this is great - knocking a few runs off; down to 51 now (on Spark. Cricinfo seem well ahead and I'm not checking that).
also - stoked for Blundell! And unlucky for Timmah

@canefan Boult under lights with the new pink ball is absolutely unplayable. Another reason to be even more annoyed that they didn't call him up, playing a stop gap journeymen instead is an absolutely awful decision.

Same old shit that seems to characterise the current post golden era. Just bloody keystone cop level clumsiness

Always thinking about what’s ahead of them rather than ensuring they win the game at hand.
Must rest x player so he won’t be tired in 6 weeks time etc etc -

I'd be verrrry tempted to declare as soon as we get a lead, psychologically it puts us on the front foot - they couldn't finish the job, we decide when our innings ends, and we get to charge in with the new ball under lights.
26 overs remaining, we don't want any less than 20 tonight.
-
Oh well, incredible innings from Blundell, and the bonus that our innings has ended at almost exactly the right time.
England still with their noses in front given we have to bat last, but 25 overs under lights will be very interesting.

Southee a bit too good for Crawley. Just need him to get a feather on one of those.
