England v Pakistan

[The Subhuman]

35-2 Leach gets one to straighten with his first delivery and traps Young plumb. NZ waste an appeal too.

[The Subhuman]

Great over from Broad gets it's reward with Williamson's wicket 62-3

[The Subhuman]

NZ very lucky there, that looked out even on ball tracking.... think the 3rd umpire got one wrong. Nicholls should be gone for 4

[The Subhuman]

Potts really unlucky so far 2 plumb LBW's fail to get decisions .... We rejected the chance to refer but blame must fall on the ump as that would have hit middle half way up.... These are both nailed on LBW's

Erasmus having a stinker

[The Subhuman]

Luck finally falls England's way. Nicholls drives Leach, hits the face of Mitchell's bat and ricochets into the hands of Lees ... at midwicket I think

[The Subhuman]

123-5

Never seen that before. New Zealand seem to be unlucky with bat deflections. Shame its not Mitchell out since it came off his bat,

[Byebyegeegee]

Yes never seen anything like that Nichols dismissal- unbelievable!

Honours even, I reckon, after the first day but had Stokes gone for the review on Mitchell, England could have been well on course for a 3rd victory already.

[The Subhuman]

Potts should have three but Mitchell dropped by Foakes when the ball looked to be an easier catch for Root

[The Subhuman]

Potts finally gets his reward, trapping Blundell in front... deserved, it's 243-6

[The Subhuman]

Blundell didn't refer but wasn't happy... It seems the DRS system isn't working right now. Looks like it was missing leg

[The Subhuman]

But surely if DRS is down the game should be paused until repaired because there's now bias

[The Subhuman]

I was talking to someone about the red balls the other day. All of them are handmade and hand-stitched. They've brought somebody new in to stitch the balls and he doesn't stitch them tight enough. It means moisture get into the balls, so they get soft and lose their shape.

Well again, that needs to be sorted out

[The Subhuman]

Saying Leeds has a power issue right now ....

[The Subhuman]

Another drop, this time Bairstow off Broad, Bracewell gets a life.

[The Subhuman]

Potts 25-30-1 ... should have 4, looks world class

[The Subhuman]

Bracewell gone, caught off Broad

265-7

[The Subhuman]

Two wickets for Leach in quick succession after lunch gives him 5 for the innings

329-allout

[The Subhuman]

Lees gets a life he did nothing with. Dropped on 0 he gets clean bowled by Boult for 4

[The Subhuman]

Pope gone... also cleaned up by Boult

14-2
