[Cricket] The Red Ball Reset: Eng v NZ 2nd Test

[bhafc99]

Incredible scenes. When Root went at 56-3 our chances didn’t look great, but clearly Bairstow and Stokes downed 10 Red Bulls each at tea.

BOOM!

. 4 1 . 4 6

35 to win

Was that the red bull reset everyone's talking about?

Oh Blimey!!!

Tuffers: I think the Game may be up

 

[Hugo Rune]

Stokes almost just hit it out of Trent Bridge! So close!

243rd boundary - now the all time record for boundaries in a Test match.

220 fours, 23 sixes.

Sensational game of cricket.

 

[A1X]

Most boundaries ever scored in a test match with that four from Bairstow

Jonny's gone.

Jonny Bairstow c †Blundell b Boult 136 (92b 14x4 7x6) SR: 147.82

Truly an historic innings

England 272-5, needing 25 more to win.

We're lose

England's odds crashing from 1/100 to 1/50

Bairstow / Stokes partnership.

179 runs from 20.1 overs.

 

[hart's shirt]

No idea how many Tests have been won by the side batting 2nd with the opponents having scored 550+ in their 1st innings.

 

[Machiavelli]

A wonderful innings, worth the admission fee alone.

Crodo, you really are hilarious. There's no such thing as a free lunch and all that.

 

[bhafc99]

21 needed with 5 wickets in hand.

If this was Sussex, we could easily lose it from there…

 

[Gwylan]

No idea how many Tests have been won by the side batting 2nd with the opponents having scored 550+ in their 1st innings.

I can certainly remember England doing it - in Adelaide in 2006 when they collapsed in the third innings

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Gutted to have missed this!

 

[A1X]

Bairstow / Stokes partnership.

179 runs from 20.1 overs.

Would win you more than a few T20 games with a total like that

 

[Bold Seagull]

No idea how many Tests have been won by the side batting 2nd with the opponents having scored 550+ in their 1st innings.

How many teams have lost having scored 837 runs in a test match!?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Most runs in a test match in England for 74 years.

Yes, you're quite right.

Just checked the scorecard - England made 551 in their 1st innings, then lost 9 wickets for 60 in the 2nd and were skittled out for 129.
