England 263 for 8. Good comeback after all those early wickets. Joffra Archer hit 24 off the last over which helped.
Looking almost impossible for the Aussies with King Kohl's century and India's formidable bowling attack closing at 12-3. Test matches down under can be exciting!
I'd say NZ happier with first hour after being put in......58/1 at drinks..... Right off to bed, been a long day.....
Pretty evenly balanced first day. Won’t really know until England bat, then, as always with us, it will be run rate (confident we will be ahead of the Kiwi rate, unless they go mad for the last couple of wickets) v wickets lost.
My sister and brother-in-law currently in NZ and plan to catch the test in Wellington next week....you going @kiwiqpr ?
I can't watch the cricket currently because I have a Virgin Media subscription which used to include BT Sports, but now doesn't include TNT sports - no notification that it would be withdrawn. On asking why it had been we were told we'd have to pay another £16 a month on top of the already extortionate subscription to get it back. ****s. I've always resisted up to now, but I'm getting the dodgy box. ****'em.
Decent coverage on Steely+ NZ add 29 to overnight score, all out 348..... a challenging score, as a fair bit of movement in the air and off the pitch for the bowlers.....
Crawley gone for 0 lbw, umpire took an age to give decision...... would have been umpires call by the finest of margin.....
Wow, didn't expect to wake up to that score. Four sessions to NZ and two to England, yet England ahead in the match.
