I would love to see this forum going again as Tests was truly amazing on here, unfortunately since PXB and Jucel left things have never been the same.
 Anyway I've layed my 3s of NZ at 1.53 and lumped on Eng. New ball first thing with some slightly overcast conditions and we could see a few early wickets. |

Good call whizz. Good test to bet on. Unfortunately been a bit busy to get involved.
The problem remains we have our bowlers who can be very effective in Blighty when conditions permit but otherwise are cannon fodder. The Briad wicket in the afternoon session was a strangle. They seem to have little guile or idea. I said earlier the batting could be improved by a fit Jeffrey Archer and I wasn’t joking. I find it strange that most English batsmen have glaring technical deficiencies which have not been addressed by coaching. As long as you are not emotionally invested watching Engerland is a trip! |

How many more do you think NZ need? This has not been a high-scoring game so far.

You must be enjoying this Johnny
 When does sadness and pity come? I am guessing Johnny you are a convict and rather than see a competitive Ashes you would rather see the jailers crushed? But shirley as a cricket fan you want to see some sort of fight? |

Very cloudy here Foinavon
Not sure play will start on time but if NZ declare this game wound be over by lunch with current overheads assuming no rain. As it is I suggest thd Match will be concluded by tea. |

Excellent hundred and he will remember that forever

Strong breeze has moved the clouds on but is Broad on the charge? Scrambled scream with the new ball looked a little desperate to me. Difficult to call now as thd ball is not swinging yet and the sun is out bug the lacquer will wear off and there are clouds coming.
Oh dear how stupidly casual from the Big Man! This is good from a betting perspective |

Broad on the charge!
You heard it here first! |

unbelievable jeff..truly

Thrilling ride
I love this game Stan! |
|
By:
Thanks WD, I suspected they has enough runs already and 50 more would be icing.
As the start was delayed, I went for a soak and have missed all the action. |
|
By:
how is this more or less evens? they must have been watching a different England team to me
|
|
By:
be just like mercurial Eng to win on the bridle by 4/5 wkts

Do not write the Engerland off here!
Weather is half decent. Still a strong breeze to disperse the clouds. Lords day 3 pitch and even Alex Lees is hitting extra cover drives against a new ball! No I don’t believe in miracles but if this new ball is not a swinger and we get to 30 overs then this is a different game. See what happens when the lacquer wears off too. I don’t have much faith in these batsmen if the ball swings but Crawley could make runs if it remains flat |

By:
Good start from England and yet again poor technique.
Commentators got it covered. He doesn’t know where off stump is. He moves around the crease, he let one go coming down the hill! A professional cricketer, playing for His country………POOR |
|
By:
Desperate school boy error just when they had survived the early overs. Somehow they must survive to tea for only 1 or 2 more wickets and then go after the softer ball and tiring bowlers.
|

in the blistering 100f heat

By:
Oh dear, another nail in the coffin. Will they make it to tea?
|
|
By:
this is when the boy Joe ,unencumbered by the test captaincy,has to justify the fawning praise foisted upon him
no BS wafts o/s off that u and the boy Virat KEEP getting out to step up to the plate and get Albion over the line for Her Majesty and her subjects! |
|
By:
england still 2.32 - what makes anyone think this team can chase down 270? unbelievable.
|
|
By:
3 down. No chance.
|
|
By:
Still have a chance albeit a slim one
|

Bairstow is NOT a test batsman..braindead chubby boy
|
|
By:
absolutely mindboggling that this was more or less evens at the start of the innings. has noone been watching this England team?
|
|
By:
196 partnership between these 2 would be handy!

dopey lets the thug off the hook

Stokes relentlessly charging brings more risk than reward surely

WinViz couldn't be much further away from the market right now. 51-48 v 1.55-2.86
|
|
By:
England's to lose now
|
|
By:
England making a much better fist of it than I thoughts - thank goodness for Stokes and Root. However I can envisage a collapse in the morning
|
|
By:
There were some good price swings today. I hope there will be one more tomorrow although I would like to see England win for a change and give the new skipper a boost.
|
|
By:
I shall give you a cloud report tomorrow morning although it might be a late start and I got to gym it before a lunch party at 12
|
|
By:
I need Root to go in the first couple of overs in the morning. Got myself in a great position early yesterday and then went a bit tits up.
I'm still Eng 0,N.Z 2.5 green, Draw 0.4 green. There's been plenty of twists during this test and it's most likely to continue tomorrow or at least I hope, lol |
|
By:
Be nice for Stokes to get off to a winning start, but theres a job on with that batting
 |
|
By:
Well i'm not in London, but not too far away and its a very grey overcast morning where I am currently.
|
|
By:
Note to self: go to the street party and don't get sidetracked by getting greedy and seeking to boost your green book by taking another position at this stage. Remember India against NZ in Southampton and how you squandered your trading profit by not believing that NZ had a chance on the last day.
|
|
By:
Damp, heavy cloud, no wind.
Don’t expect to start on time. I thin on even the old ball might swing if they polish it on a morning like this . Too hard to cal. Early wicket of Root and its all change but only 60 to defend? Are you going to reserve judgement on Foakes v Bstard until later today Cardinal? Dreadful shot by Bstard. Commentators gif it right… the shot of a brain dead moron! |
|
By:
Bstard is just 1 day player, can't play Test Cricket on any surface where the ball is moving around
|
|
By:
He missed a straight ball!
He has missed something like 51 straight balls in his Test career! |
|
By:
Surprised we are starting on time. J hope the ball gets wets
