Oh dear. Buttler needs to carry us through now.

Pope c watling b Southee 29

big waft outside off stump, comfortably taken in front of first slip by watling

286 for 6

need to be a bit careful here as we are in danger of throwing this innings away

buttler 9 n.o.

Curran yet to face
 
Wow. An England batting collapse, somethings never change.
 
Curran lbw boult 0. First ball

reviewed , legal delivery, all reds. It always looked plumb

we were looking at 400 but it’s now 286 for 7

Buttler still there
 
Good bowling though for Curran’s dismissal. The other two were poor shots imo
Yeah loose shots. The hardest thing about batting on this pitch is probably concentration. We must somehow get to at least 375 here to keep the game in the balance.

Archer c Southee b boult 4. Edge well taken at second slip

a sad end to the innings 295 for 8

leach needs one of his classic 1 not out in a hundred partnership with buttler now
 
3 wickets in 6 balls and 4 wickets for 18 runs. Shocking again, we crumble far to easy and regularly.
 
Or one of leaches dodgy singles that nearly ran out buttler

would have been out be about ten yards
 
Lovely drive for four by leach

300 for 8.

be interesting to see jofras pace on this pitch later
 
De Grandhomme is a hell of a name, what's the translation for that, the Big Man?

Seems like everyone's been caught out.

He did a great job in the World Cup final as well. It’s a great name mind
