    The England Women’s cricket side thumped the Silver Ferns in yesterday’s ODI in Christchurch yesterday having no trouble passing the NZ side’s 178 in 34 overs.  NZ won the toss in scorching weather and elected to bat on a friendly pitch.

    England are the current World Champions and the next tournament is in NZ next year.  Hopefully NZ might do a little better in the meantime.  They have lost 10 ODI on the trot, their last win was against India in February 2019 when there was nothing at stake.

    Day/night test match starts on Wednesday. 9am start so should be able to watch it all during the day whilst I WFH.

    It’ll give a whole new tragic meaning to “that’s one down”

    We have won the toss and will bat. Anderson, Archer, Bairstow and Crawley come in place of Burns Lawrence Stone and Moeen

    So going in with the one front line spinner which will see, presumably, Root bowling more

    If the first ball turns square England will have a long time to regret their team selection!

    Amazed that India only have two slips and a gully in the first over of a Test

    2-1

    Some things just don't change. They bowled 6th stump to Sibley prior to that and the minute they let him have one on off peg, he nicks off.

    Tough start this, two top class bowlers & the pink ball doing all sorts.

    Come on Zak.

    Crawley gives me feelings I haven't experienced since Trescothick

    The worst thing anyone could say here is that Crawley looks superb and a proper Test opener. But if one was allowed to do so then I'm sure they would!

    When was the last time we had such a long tail? Archer at 8, unbelievable.

    That's a surprise - Bairstow asking for the review even before consulting his partner!!!!

    Blimey, he’s missed that by miles

    Bairstow and his reviews are a joke. Someone in authority needs to have a serious word.

    So there we have it again. Two down with not many on the board.

    This is what got Bairstow dropped in the first place and the way he keeps waltzing back in puts serious questions of the integrity of the selectors and Root

    This. Absolute f******g joke, he would review it if he was clean bowled.

    Bairstow isn't good enough.

    Who would honestly want him playing Down Under vs their pace attack?

    Awful review, I can’t understand how someone can review so quickly when the ball was straight and not near the bat
