[Cricket] 3rd (Dead Rubber) Test - Eng v NZ at Clean Slate Headingley, Leeds - 11am

[bhafc99]

Fair play to NZ.

That's a solid morning session, decent runs added with no wickets lost.

In a normal series, it would have probably taken the match beyond England: it's built a lead of 223 with 5 wickets still standing.

But these days, who knows…

Weather a little changeable tomorrow, 5s on the draw right now has to be worth 50p.

10 for Leach, so pleased for him. 296 to win…anyone’s guess how this ends up from here. Fascinating stuff.

A finely poised match, even with England's attacking élan.

No more than 2 English wickets down by the end of today please.

Leach always looks like a very average spinner to me, I know he got the wickets of the tail in the first innings but let’s be honest they weren’t great balls.

Another 5 for!

Crawley runs out Lees

What a stinker of a series he is having, he won’t last long himself either.

New ball not swinging - we offer up a run out. Honestly.

That was rather annoyingly great fielding though.

It was but it was an easy single if they had both just committed to the run, Lees I think went but Crawley ball watched as he thought he had creamed it for 4

He should have called to wait. Although Lees didn't help himself by not checking his own run early enough. It was a bit T20 frantic.

 

[The Wizard]

I’m not sure Crawley should even be out there, he looks so erratic and brain scrambled, looks like getting out every ball.

Watched the highlight clip back now a few times - Boult was in the air when he took the bails off.

Just superb fielding all round from the falling throw in on the knees to collecting the ball on the run.

 

[The Wizard]

Cya Crawley, should be out the side now.

I think he may be off for an extended sabbatical down the M2

Well this is lacking drama.

Marvellous scenes.

Just enjoying the mindset. Win lose or draw this will get people interested in test cricket
