Come on Not606 cricket pundits...

What do we think of the start?

To my uneducated mind we’ve started well and they don’t seem close to letting rip with boundaries?

Reasonably happy?
 
Suspect they may target our second string bowlers. Got a bit of a concern our bowlers aren't suited to this wicket. Apart from possible Woakes,their natural length is possibly too short.

Neither batsman looks comfortable, down to the good bowling. NZ need to open up the bat soon or they’ll not reach a reasonable run rate. So far, from what I’ve seen, the bowlers are playing their part ... but it’s a long day.

Mrs Tash’s view is that it is ‘****ing compelling’ viewing

...however she did mispronounce ‘compelling’ as ‘boring’ for some reason

I had similar with Lady Ben when she does the ironing. “

“What’s the point? It takes up most of the day & it’s boring”

I set her up in the dining room. I doubt it’s changed anything but at least I can’t hear her moaning about it.

Even start i think. If we'd had another wicket then I think it would have been our hour. We could do with the sun to come out in around 90 minutes as Boult will be filling his boots. Decent tight bowling as reflected in the run rate but we need more that would hit the stumps to bring an edge or LBW.
