Crawley looking to secure the Bash Boost Point.

henry gets Duckett for a duck... Crawley still looking for the boost point - 12/1 - he seems to make good contact with 1 in every 5 balls

 

[JJ]

not sure why we bowled tbh, this morning might be the best bowling conditions of the test I guess

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Good to see New Zealand destroy that horrible little ork Duckett.

 

[JJ]

Henry bowling beautifully, I see he's now in the ICC top 10, which is deserved imo

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Crawley's magnficent innings comes to an end.


2/21

[AlwaysGreen]

Root gone, 3/26

 

[JJ]

Bazball just looks like 5th grade club cricket atm...

 

[JJ]

couple of good shots, then 43/4 Bethell gone

 

[JJ]

Gower seems not a fan of this hit your way out of trouble approach

 

[JJ]

That said, Brook is fun to watch

 

[King-Gutho94]

The kiwis have played Brook into form by dropping him 4 times last test match.
