England v New Zealand 1st Test

[crodonilson]

Really good bowling display from NZ, England have played sensibly against such tight bowling, restricting the scoring rate.

 

[Gully]

England on 239-6 at tea, Vaughan on 61 not out...from 150 balls...now, much as I love cricket...this must be like watching paint dry.

A ton for Vaughn, about time he did something.

It was a fantastically constructed innings and showed glimpses of the vintage Vaughan of old.

Sets up an intriguing last day, I'm glad I've booked the day off to watch it, should be classic test match cricket.

Bloody boring and cold day, but still good

I was there. i gave up at 2 and got back to watch the second half of the cup final. I'm not sure what was more boring

 

[keaton]

230-6.

Vettori got Collingwood and Ambrose in succesive balls.

Can anyone remember a more stupid dismissal than Ambrose's?

We left about 3:30, and attempted in vain to find somewhere to watch the 2nd half of the cup final. Ended up going to Baker Street and wandering round aimlessly until we found a pub that was showing it... then regretted it!

Yes, loads and loads

HAHAHAHAHA

Ball gets changed and Sidebottom promptly takes a wicket!

Marvellous scenes

52/2

 

[dougdeep]

79/2. Looks like bore draw.

3 down

 

[crodonilson]

Absorbing session of test match cricket, swinging one way then the other. The gut feeling is England will probably run out of time and be about a session short of winning but no-one can argue they're not giving it a damn good go.

 

[Hiney]

Get McCullum quickly and we have a chance

 

[Zesh Rehman]

COME ON MONTY YOU GOD

 

[keaton]

Looking pretty interesting at mo. 123/4 but with McCallum retired hurt.

Kiwis have a lead of 81 with five wickets remaining. 64 overs left

 

[Digweeds Trousers]

and game over - looks a great knock from Oram

 

[Beach Hut]

Amazing, a draw
