Finally!

10:14 AM
Latham goes at 🦆 after consuming 6 balls
Boundary by Williamson
 
Latham not having much success recently
It's especially unhelpful since Williamson is also a bit out of form and also out of practice
Kane effectively opening
 
A J
Not really a good sign for NZ
It literally puts pressure on Mitchell and Blundell
ODIs and T20Is can be one-player game but the Test not.
If the top order starts well, that pair can boost the inning
I heard Latham will lead the team on Ireland or Scotland tour?
Williamson ran 3
 
10:33 AM
😀
> Southee, Boult and Wagner playing their 40th test together. Their record together so far:
Boult 178 wkts at 24
Southee 178 wkts at 25
Wagner 169 wkts at 25 (best strike rate)

All other NZ bowlers 164 wickets between them
 
10:50 AM
NZ 30/1 (11)
 
11:02 AM
Will Young out lbw b Leach
Unsuccessful review
39/2 (13)
 
11:26 AM
60/2 (20)
 
A J
Quite good to see Kane holding up and having a strike rate more than 50
Almost 70% runs came from boundaries
 
11:58 AM
Out for 31 edge behind, not given out but Kane walked off
Now 65/3 (26)
 
A J
I jinxed it
 
Need a good partnership from Nicholls and Conway
Kane did a reasonable job. Should have been done by Latham
65/3 (27) at Lunch on Day One
 
12:56 PM
71/3 (30)
Review by ENG for Nicholls lbw, inside edge, not given
 
1:17 PM
Conway out for 26 (62) b J Overton
NZ 83/4 (34.3)
 
1:39 PM
88/4 (40) RR 2.2 🐌
Henry Nicholls is 7* (55)
Daryl Mitchell 3* (17)
 
A J
Wow
Looks like it's gonna be Mitchell and Blundell once again
 
Maybe yeah
 
A J
At this pace, Henry can break record of Vihari
 
What's that
 
A J
Not really a record but he scored just 23 out of 161 balls.
to draw the game where India got all out at 36
 
1:55 PM
wow
8 from 63 now
Seems like the plan is to tire out the bowlers and wait for conditions to improve
 
A J
Yep
Did any team ever played for 5 days?
I think the record is 3 days
That'd be SL that scored 952 in 271 overs
 
2:15 PM
100 up and a rush of boundaries!
112/4 (49)
 
2:45 PM
Nicholls gone for 19 (99)
123/5 (55.2)
Really unlucky dismissal off his teammate's bat
Tea
 
A J
Very much
 
3:19 PM
@AJ Those 2 runs will bother me for some time XD
 
4:08 PM
187/5 (73)
Mitchell reached his 50 with a six
Rain delay
 
A J
4:31 PM
Great
Would be nice to have a hattrick of centuries
 
A J
4:59 PM
New ball
Isn't it a little early ?
 
@AJ Wasn't watching at the time, but more than 80 overs have been bowled so it seems reasonable?
211/5 (82) Mitchell 68* Blundell 41*
Partnership 88
 
A J
I phrased it wrong
England took the new ball as soon as it is available
 
Oh I see!
 
5:43 PM
100 partnership
225/5 (90) at Stumps on Day 1
