Burns out 2nd ball.
I was expecting it. 
I've no confidence in any of our batsman bar Root.

Probably need to score in excess of 300 to have any chance. 
Can't see it myself.

Nor me. More likely to be all out by close of play & lose by an innings.

Charlton Sunderland play-off final on the other channel. 
Super Clive to cheer us up.

What a shower of shit.

Pope gone as well.
Root is our only decent batsman. 

Gary Poole

Fuck sake

Feels like there’s such little batting quality in this squad.

Burns and Root aside I have very little confidence in these guys.

This Aussies must be absolutely pissing themselves.

Bracey now has a test average of .25 things are looking up

So so easy for New Zealand.Kiwis showing how easy it is bowl and showing how easy it is to bat on this pitch.Dreading India coming over because they will ruin us.Pathetic England.

Lincsaddick

get in there Bracey .. time to make a name for yer self

Todds_right_hook

does anyone else think the Pope decision was a pile of shit? I thought half the ball had to be hitting?

soapy_jones

Bag of shite!

Callumcafc

I’ve got all my fingers and toes crossed for Bracey to make a decent score here

Yes I agree and still not happy about the catch yesterday with the fingers clearly under the ball

Gary Poole

What ever happens here it would be nice for Bracey to get a decent score to go away with, not sure he will be back in the side anytime soon

Any doubts we had about England being a better side than NZ and competing in the Test Final v India have been dispelled.

Correct decision. He was given out, so if it's hitting the wicket/bails it's out.
If Pope had been given not out, half would have needed to be hitting to overrule.

Bracey out
71-6
Missed a straight ball from a spinner ffs.

Bracey, first Glos player for England for ages, and probably the last for a century or so .. Where's W G Grace when you need him ?

MrOneLung

What I like about this side is they may be shite but they are battlers. 

Won’t give up without a fight ...
