New Zealand v England 28 Nov- 18 Dec 2024 (3 Tests)

[Freezin]

Can't see this going beyond lunch...hope it does because I am going tomorrow......NZ cricket team is still flying back from India apparently.....

 

[010203]

Apparently Harry Brook has more overseas hundreds than David Warner.

 

[Plugger35]

Two wickets in that last over from Carse to get a 5'fer.

Mitchell needs to start swinging with just Southee and O'Rourke left.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The pitch seems pretty flat today, but as I say that, Carse pitches one up and gets the debutant followed by Henry for a 5fer.

Carse looks like a handy find, not lethal with pace like Wood, but good line and length.

 

[Plugger35]

Looks like Stokes is injured again, surprised he was bowling himself so much in this test given all his injury issues recently.

You blokes have bottled this game badly mate I’m sorry to say

 

[NYRB]

is that Craig McMillan in comms?

You can’t tell from the Warnie flat hat?

Peaky Blinders vibes.

Cricinfo commentary sez

Carl: "All NZ need is a lead of 47, dismissing top teams for 46 is what they do!"

 

[NYRB]

A few F bombs from the English about that ball that thought was a catch but turned out to be a no-ball.

 

[NYRB]

Southee deciding its 6 or out for him right now. And must say those sixes were big

 

[Plugger35]

Vintage Southee slogging a couple of sixes over the midwicket fence, hopefully he can slog a few more before he gets out.

 

[NYRB]

Get it over a 100 run lead and you just never know......

 

[NYRB]

Mitchell surely has to have a tonk now with Southee gone.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

O'Rourke has never made double digits, even in FC cricket. This should be over pretty quickly if he can't get off strike.

 

[Plugger35]

Southee caught trying to slog another six, can't say that wasn't predictable.

 

[sabso]

Agent O'Rourke arrives at the crease.

 

[sabso]

O'Rourke has never made double digits, even in FC cricket. This should be over pretty quickly if he can't get off strike.

 

[Bedi]

Stokes injured is big news for the series. NZ really needed to get a 120 lead to give themselves a sniff. Still can...

 

[sabso]

Of course this innings is still going. O'Rourke has smashed his Test PB here.

 

[NYRB]

England have the option to extend the morning session given they have NZ 9 down before lunch on Day 4.

I probably shouldn't look at stats half-asleep, I originally read that as 7.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

WOR showing a lot of grit here. It probably won't be enough, but at least it has made it somewhat more interesting, especially if NZ get early wickets.

He's about to get another one, don't worry
