England's new era of cricket

[Brussels Bureaucrat]

A team hat-trick! Great stuff. You'd imagine that NZ have already got more than enough, but there's still just about a game on here.

Edited to add that Anderson has just removed Tom Blundell for 96.

I'd recommend a day out at Lord's to anyone, even if it's just for a domestic fixture. One of the most iconic venues in all of sport, let alone cricket.

What a crazy morning session: 12.3 overs, 49 runs and six wickets.

Cringeworthy dismissal too

 

[Bernie Bernbaum]

Another useless opener.
Collapse imminent.

Very nice, I'd need a nap after that lunch!

I played cricket last weekend and we all we got at the interval was a pasty.

Weighed pretty heavy though, it's fair to say I was far from sprightly down at long on.

That's the end of Crawley. Flatters to deceive yet again,

Looks great doesn't it!
I went to an England match at Lord's once as part of a hospitality package and we were all given a huge hamper each at lunch.
The amount of things in it was incredible. Plus each hamper came with a 750ml bottle of vino
Safe to say that most of the party was pretty hammered come 6pm 😁

And Pope.

Pope batting at number 3 is looking a silly move.
As someone was saying earlier, he's not even cemented his place down the order to deserve to move so far up the order.

 

[Bernie Bernbaum]

I don't think he's good enough to be in the starting 11. He's had enough chances.

They think he's the new Ian Bell I reckon. I'm yet to be convinced

Bairstow gone. Just ridiculous.
