England v New Zealand 3rd Test

[Hiney]

Broad and Anderson now frustrating New Zealand

Some good shots in there. Broad looks a very useful bloke to have coming in at no8

*cue3quickwickets*

 

[Hiney]

Both Broad & Anderson now have career best test scores

 

[Gully]

Nice little partnership coming along there, already up to 63, I am guessing that Anderson was brought in as a night-watchman.

to protect the batting powerhouse that is sidebottom. Or (as Vic Marks speculated) Sidebottom was on the loo.

 

[Simster]

Is it me or does Vic Marks sound like a permanently pissed gayer?

 

[Hiney]

Anderson gone

Good innings

 

[Storer68]

Don't think Sidebotom is going to bat - got a niggle.

Was injured yesterday

Now waits for him to appear from the Pavilion, stride purposefully to the wicket and knock off a quick fifty before lunch

Broad stuck on 49 at the moment. Nice to see our tail has finally wagged!

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Lunch 341-8, good solid session from the tail

NZ will need to post a big total if they want to try and level the series.

Broad on 49
Sidebottom 3

I'd like to know why Anderson came in at No.9, especially as Sidebottom is the better bat and on his home ground. Either way, it's worked out well for England.

I think that was arguably as bad a session for New Zealand as they've had all series. Two tail enders facing the new ball and it ends up 68-1 in England's favour with dropped chances and England having the upper hand.

Sidebottom had a back spasm.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Fair enough.

I predict England 371ao.

 

[Mr Blobby]

Broad hits a 4 to move to 53!

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I predict 351 a/o

 

[Hiney]

Currently 359/8

 

[Mendoza]

when was the last time we got a 1st innings over 400?

 

[Hiney]

361/9 - Broad gone

 

[Da Man Clay]

364 ao

 

[Hiney]

Monty can't believe it!

Caught straight off the pad

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Worst decision EVER!
