Looked good to me piss of Sherminator.

Bye bye Bell. Brilliant bowling from Southee. Leg before again. As I said after day one, scoreboard pressure does funny things in test matches.

 

[hineyrulz]

Top quality spell from Southee this morning.

 

[Iafeta]

Boult to Bairstow - looks out to me. He's a goner. How was not given out first up.

 

[Iafeta]

That is some seriously bad umpiring from Tucker not to give that out. Smacking middle and off halfway up.

BTW, bad pitch my backside. Williamson and Fulton played exceptionally diligently and straight, and the Poms bowled ridiculously wide of the off stump on day 1.

 

[hineyrulz]

This looks plumb.

lol yep out, the much vaunted Pommy batting line up in tatters.

He always has been crap.

What I thought on that leg before was it was fuller than the one that got Trott, it straightened just like that one did, he wasn't far forward, it couldn't be anything other than out. Only a bad umpire doesn't give that out first up.

It was as plumb as you will get, can't believe first Tucker didn't give it and the Kiwi's had to even think about refering it.

 

[Sphagnum]

Just tuned in. Go Kiwis.

 

[vvvrulz]

New Zealand carving up, quality bowling. These three should be persisted with in England, they will carve up in swinging conditions

 

[Twizzle]

just wow

 

[hineyrulz]

Hopefully that won't be too big a miss, Southee has been outstanding this morning.

 

[hineyrulz]

Gee Prior is a good player.

Don't see the big wrap in this Wagner every time i see him bowl i am pretty underwhelmed.

 

[Meth]

200/7

How much for them to avoid the follow on?

 

[Meth]

They just said.

244

Come on Kiwis

 

[IanG]

Wonder if they'll enforce the follow on if they do bowl them out for less than 244.

 

[vvvrulz]

Dumb innings from Broad with 43 runs short of the follow on.

New Zealand have had roughly a full day in the field, to be honest I'm not sure they should even bother with the follow on anyway. I'd rather see them smash a quick 250 odd and give themselves a day and a half to to bowl them out with the draw more or less secure.

If we enforce it England will stonewall our tired bowlers

 

[vvvrulz]

Boult is our future spearhead, good signs

 

[IanG]

Also I don't think members of the England team are smoking Rothfields like Beefy back in 1984. So the Kiwis will need to keep it up
