Nothing in the wicket for him though, basically hoping for a mistake, these two are set though and just happy to milk the bowling atm. 

I know, it just pisses me off when he gets taken off after two overs like at Durham.  His wickets against the Aussies came in his third over.

[Captain Howdy]

But then again I’m a negative bastard

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Once the new ball has worn off it looks a decent wicket to bat on. It could easily get better and offer less to the NZ openers. Weather is supposed to stay the same until about 15:30 and then sunny intervals. 

[Dougie Do'ins]

Crowd trying to get things going. Well some of them.

Set batsman tend to make things harder though.

Yeah, the dozen of them that haven't turned up in a suit and straw hat.

You can barely here them. Bet the members are already putting in complaints.

England do have form for dragging an innings back - we're going to have to do it again. If you can get through the Black Caps mid order then their tail isn't that good but these two look like they are seeing a beachball. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Ohhhhh.....dare we review.

New bat in :-)

[Hand Shandy]

Huge wicket. Desperately needed that.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Great review and a huge wicket. 

[Jairzinho]

Got him.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

You could tell by Morgan's reaction that was out. Excellent review. Now build some pressure.

Aye, couldn't have worked out better for Rashid having a pop at a new batsman. Kind of called it between us. Thank fuck Williamson got a feather on that Plunkett ball. Massive wicket, if we can get another soon. 

[Stouffer]

Get some.

[Dougie Do'ins]

Look on Williamson's face said it all. Knew he'd tickled that.

Yeah I thought that, and Williamson didn't look confident when the review was going through.

Plunkett is just so easy to hit.

It was weird, the spike made it look a bit more than a tickle.

I know it's been said, but the crowd is shite.

 

There's more atmosphere in my front room, and I'm on my fucking own!

Called it.

The Toffs have to have their day out to talk business and get pissed on expensive liquid. Home of Cricket my arse.

At least there's no "barmy army" shite, though.  That got old about ten years ago.

If this was at OT , Edgbaston or Headingley the atmosphere alone would make it feel like a World Cup Final .

i can remember being a kid and seeing the Taverners Bar and it used to look boss
