New Zealand vs England - 2nd test day 3.

[larus]

Current position

England 342 & 4/0 (5.0 ov)
New Zealand 198

England lead by 148 runs with 10 wickets remaining.

You would think that another 150 would be enough to set them a tough target. Hopefully, we'll get at least another 250 and set them a minimum of 400 to get with 2 full days.

Steady start please boys.

 

[larus]

43/1 15.4 Ovs.

Cooks just scored his first international 6 (top edge though ).

 

[Beach Hut]

101/1 and a lead of 245, should be in the bag by now.

106/1 at lunch.

Cook is a class act

Fair comment but we should build up a 400 plus target and put them into bat again for the last hour today.

I've said before that I think we will look back on his career and view him as one of the greats of the game. I know he still has to do it, but he has all the makings of a really excellent player. He's still only 23 as well.

 

[Beach Hut]

Hopefully Strauss can get his act together as well.

It's just a shame Trescothick lost his head

What we SHOULD be doing is batting all day today. Don't worry about putting them in this evening, bat them completely out of the game by the end of the day and give ourselves two days to bowl them out.
