Some seriously poor bowling post lunch and I fear the Kiwi's are already setting a score we won't be able to reach. Excellent partnership from these 2 have turned the game on its head but jeez we have assisted them.
Broad gets Mitchell after he gets his hundred. Now England run out De Grandhomme next ball. England right back in this, but they don't want to be chasing many more than they will be already.
Now Anderson has Blundell plum lbw 4 short of his hundred. Great bowling from these two. Stroller will be wrapped in the St George's flag dancing in the stands.
Great fight back this morning from England but is it too late ? New Zealand had 1 mighty partnership of 195, apart from that they managed to score 222 runs for 19 wickets ! Very strange. Gonna need a mighty effort from us, we can't afford to lose early wickets.
That's so frustrating. Lees has looked really good, get 20 and then leaves crazily and gets bowled. Typical bloody England.
Ffs Lees looking good then shoulders arms to one and is clean bowled ! 31-1. Poor judgement. Just before lunch too. Crawley looking frentic again
Crawley almost does the identical thing to Lees. It's time Pope stepped up and proved he's a Test quality player, I'm yet to be convinced.
Crawley gone ! Don't think he's got what's required to be a Test opener at all. Having Rob Key as your coach isn't gonna improve your technique at the top level !
