2nd Test - Day 4 Thread 11:31 - Jun 13 with 795 viewsSteve_M

Root very disappointed to go for 176 but he and Foakes scoring with real intent this morning. And now Broad is in....

517/6, still 36 behind.

If I was in the vicinity of Nottingham, think I might be taking a late day off work.

The fact that we scored very briskly first thing has been excellent. Root played magnificently although a shame he missed the double hundred when in such good nick. I'm having to listen to the cricket but this has been a great test match although it looks to be heading for a draw.

Broad out but I'm guessing he was sent out with instructions not to hang about. If we can match their total I'll still be very happy.

Yes, a really good catch from Mitchell too - out of keeping with that from both sides in this match.

Disappointing this morning now. Should have gotten a small lead, but now looks like we might be 20 behind.

530/9, going to be a little behind on the first innings it seems. 23 at the moment.

Still, far far better than anyone might have expected on Saturday evening. Good chance of a result either way if both teams go for it now.

Saw something the other day that i now can't re-find.

along the lines of, at Trent Bridge, Jimmy has a higher average and high score in batting than Alistair cook.
and Cook has a better bowling average.

Nearly:

England came out today with the intent of playing positively, which is the mantra of the new leadership team. After Root was out, England might have done better with Foakes taking charge & grinding out a lead of 50-100. We shall see.

Well, that helps.

The pitch looks flat but the overhead conditions and with the floodlights on will suit England. Boult bowled well this morning and was getting the ball to swing. Our bowlers would've been very happy to see this and I think Leach will have a say too. Not too disappointed with the deficit, sets the game up nicely.

Hard to see past a draw at the moment, although either side could still collapse catastrophically and lose it.

131/3, NZ 145 ahead.

Or we could have a run out next ball after I posted that. Brilliant from Pope and Stoke there.



Just Blundell and Mitchell together again now....

Kiwis in a quandary here.

Difficult third innings - do you aim to set a target and declare or just bat through ?

Need these two to help them out again ...

And so it proves, getting Blundell swing things back England's way. Another one tonight and with NZ a bowler down then England should win.

Free entry tomorrow which is a a good thing, would be even better in the school holidays.
