My stream went down but I think NZ didn’t review and missed out on a wicket 14 for 0 burns 10 sibley 4
They didn't review and hot spot showed the tiniest of edges. Would have been a brave call. Sibley and burns looking OK so far
I like the two fours Sibley has timed beautifully through the legside, does not look flustered or a bag of nerves 18 for 0 Burns 10 Sibley 8
Sibley looks calm, collected and a presence at the crease to me The lad looks made for test match opening so far, against a very handy attack
Yes a good test match opener leaves the ball more than he plays early doors so touch wood he becomes our next proper opener
First hour up 30 for 0 off 14 Sibley 9 Burns 21 only one scare from a non reviewed very feint edge it’s remarkably calm and serene so far for England
As above weather in Brisbane for the Australia v Pakistan test looks excellent as well that’s starts midnight UK time if you are staying up
Sibley has faced 42 balls. 2 x 4's a single and 39 dot balls. We'll see how his temperament is now because that might start applying it's own pressure.
They’ve shown it, how Sibley points his left elbow, down the pitch, just as the bowler cones in I can’t take my eye off that elbow now 35 for 0
I hope they keep feeding Sibley half volleys on leg all day. clips them away lovely 43 for 0 Burns 25 Sibley 18
Sibley c Taylor b grandhomme 22. Drive outside off stump well caught by ex Durham Taylor wide, low to his right at first slip 52 for 1 Denly now at the crease the comms were saying it took to long for NZ to pitch it up outside off stump to Sibley. The lad on debut look assured though imo and I look forward to seeing more of him it was a superb swinging ball mind from the bowler
Lunch 61 for 1 off 29 Burns 35 off 84 Denly 4 off 27 imo England won the first hour clearly but NZ bowled better as it went on. Good test match cricket and as I’m off to bed I would be happy to see England around 275 to 300 for 5 come the morning
