Yet again England allow a very damaging last wicket partnership to form0

Bowl at the stumps with a new ball and he's out.
Pity we didn't do it 4 overs ago.1 -
299 off 72 overs is close enough to test the theoryAddick Addict said:DubaiCAFC said:

Personally I think NZ are slight favourites because I know we still have a batting collapse in us & their spinner looks a lot more dangerous than Leach.
I'd say
NZ 50%
England 40%
Draw 10%
- Draw 47.4%- England 34.9%- New Zealand 17.7%
Remortgage the house job if you can get 9/2 on a coin clip.
I think we have to be careful in thinking that just because this is a new, aggressive, England team under McCullum/Stokes that pragmatism won't come to the fore at some point. There are two influencers here - one is the fact that we are leading 1-0 in what is a three match series and the other is the chances of chasing down 300 plus in the final say 70 overs on a fifth day pitch. Admittedly, for us to be doing that, NZ would have to score another 60 or so runs in approximately 18 overs.golfaddick said:

The only way a draw will happen is if NZ eat up overs before lunch (not going to happen) and we get to 230 for 4 chasing 280 and have a mini collapse so that we are 8 down going into the last hour with just Anderson & Leach to come in. Then we might see us defend & bat for a draw.
What if we go two or three down very quickly (it has been known to happen with this side), do we think that England will continue to flash hard? Or settle for the draw? Equally, I recognise that this is only just over 4 an over but that is still easier said than done - teams aren't restricted in terms of the fields that they set or where they bowl the ball as they are in one day cricket and they could have seven or eight on the off side and hang the ball out there without any fear of a wide being called.0 -
two beautiful 4s to start us off!0

Oh Zak.

Crawley caught in the slips is just so predictable.0

Ok all the best at Kent Zak3

Crawley suffers the misfortune of having to face Boult rather than Southee0
-
With all the runs scored on this pitch, Boult has really stood out.
Amazing that he came to Lord's straight from the IPL0 -
What a bowler, tbh0

yep needs a couple of CC knocks before the next tes-oohaahmortimer said:Ok all the best at Kent Zak
oh wait.0 -
Crawleys feet are in concrete I am afraid...agree that he has been out to good bowling but he needs to sort himself out in the 4 day game...oh wait a minute
I'd bring in Sam Robson who is arguably a better player now1 -
To be fair, they have tried to put more CC in this time of year. A round at the moment, while Kent then another game on the 26th June, and then 3 games in July.kentaddick said:

The timing isn't great for Zak before the 3rd Test, but ideal for anyone playing in the current round of games1 -

All over you’d have thought0

Going to lose this.0

That wicket makes a massive change. One of Lees, Bairstow and Stokes now need to step up or else I can see us having to hang on desperatelykillerandflash said:If Root stays in we win
On the other hand if we're 43-2 with Root back in the hutch, that target will seem a long way away. Anyone can slog 20-40 runs, but Root uniquely has the ability to score rapidly without slogging.0 -
And now comes the test as to whether we carry on, as McCullum/Stokes say they advocate, or consolidate for a whileAddick Addict said:Addick Addict said:DubaiCAFC said:

Same old England…0
-
Match situation should be perfect for bairstow… surely?0
-
Said we should have held Root back.0
-
This has been a superb Test wicket and a massive argument against those promoting the idea of 4 day Tests.6
-
This is where the run rate drops. Trying to go at 4 an over for 70 overs is asking some.1
