Broad has destroyed the NZ top order, hopefully this will be over long before 4pm.

This is the first time that I've watched any significant duration of a cricket match. I now am unable to fathom how tests end with several hundred runs scored.

Sometimes you can watch for hours and the batsmen are so much in charge you can't see where a wicket is coming from. It's all about the state of the pitch helping the ball bounce off the seam, weather conditions favouring swing bowling, and loads of other factors. It looks to me like Broad was spurred on by Jimmy Anderson's efforts in the first innings and wanted some of the glory himself, which is exactly what his captain would have asked for.

It can often be summed up in two words: the wicket.

Or a single word - momentum.

BTW, whoever put Geoguessr on here, thanks! I think it's going to keep me entertained for a while. What are the best scores so far? I just got 9867 for my first attempt which I suspect is way off the pace!
