[Cricket] England v New Zealand - 1st Test - Lords

[jakarta]

Anderson probing, not a lot of swing so far...

 

[Beanstalk]

Just plumped for fifth day tickets (refund if less than 15 overs played). Just moved round the corner to Lords, my partner is a Kiwi and the weather is glorious so thought why not. Hopefully, it will be a great draw!

No joy for Anderson & Broad... here comes Ollie Robinson

NZ 30-0 (9 overs)

Come on Ollie!

Ollie Robinson has been presented with his Test cap by Jon Lewis

I don't know much about cricket so will probably tune in when he's presented with the finished one.

GOT 'IM!!!

Robbo strikes

Tom Latham b Robinson 23 (57b 2x4 0x6) SR: 40.35 • FOW: 58/1 (15.6 ov)

NZ 58-1 (16 overs)

Chopped on! Robinson celebrates his maiden Test wicket with a roar! In-between shot from Latham, neither forward nor back, as Robinson locates the length that has made him so successful in county cricket. It skews off the inside edge and onto the stumps, and England have their first wicket of the home Test summer.

Ollie!

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

Get in!

 

[Eeyore]

Previous delivery set it up.

The only disconcerting thing about Robbo is that he's a Man Utd supporter - not really appropriate for a Man of Kent who plays for Sussex

It could be worse. He might have been a KENTISH MAN.

Lunch Day One

NZ 85-1 (25 overs)

Devon Conway 43* Kane Williamson 13*

Single seats are available for Fri/Sun at £20 a pop, very very tempting!

Gone large on laying the draw at 2/1, so few draws in test cricket these days, I think England have drawn only 4 of their previous 48 test matches at home and some of those were rain affected, with weather set fair for all 5 days this looks a great bet.

I LOVE Test Match Cricket, there is nothing like it.

Having said that unless Broad & Anderson get their collective arses into gear this afternoon were loose...

Jimmy strikes!

Kane Williamson b Anderson 13 (33b 2x4 0x6) SR: 39.39 • FOW: 86/2 (25.4 ov)

Bowled him! Seventh time he's dismissed him in Tests! Massive, massive wicket for England. Another batsman chops on. One of those occasions when Williamson's soft hands may have done him a bit of harm. Back of a length, nips in a touch from outside off, and he goes on the back foot to defend. Hits the inside half of the bat, then the pitch, then spins back to upset the furniture
