Overton looks like a proper batsman. Very good player to have coming in at number 8.

 

Last time there were 3 continuous cricket stats on a football post in England - never been known before.

Cracking posts lads

 

This is insane by Overton lol, unbelievable stuff. Got some serious shots in his array, and outscoring Bairstow almost. Magnificent partnership but you feel one of them must hole out in the deep soon.

 

Fantastic ton from Bairstow, go on and make it a biggie !

 

Sensational again from Bairstow.

Love to see Overton get a ton too.

 

This is now England's highest ever 7th wicket partnership in Tests !

 

Bit closer to Rangers actually mate.

 

Exhibit no 2 M'lord..... How to play Test cricket

Seriously unreal....

 

Get used to it in the Stokes/McCullum era. It’s an ideology.

 

Overton out for 97 ! Poor bastard

 

Cricket can be a wicked mistress!!
Gutting.

 

Real shame about Overton, but Broad's come out swinging now.

England take the lead.

 

Potts gets Young out ! 28-1. Still trailing by 3 runs

 

Kiwi's 102-1, we need a wicket or 2. Stokes bowling some utter turd , Leach looking ineffective and Overton not offering much, with the ball.

 

Ffs Broad back into the attack and induces the edge off Latham and Root spills easy chance at slip ! Currently on 73 Latham, we needed that badly. How many dropped catches have there been in this match, seems like a helluva lot ?

 

You couldn't accuse this series of being dull could you? It's less ebbs and flows than insane lurches from one extreme to the other and just as I type that Overton strikes straight after tea.

 

Gone ! Latham caught behind off Overton 1st ball after tea. Come on England

 

Next ball Conway hit right on the helmet, perfect bouncer

 

Superb catch by Pope to get rid of Conway first ball after the break.

Now for the '-ell's.

 

Another wicket straight after a break ! We need more breaks lol
