NZ are going to get 500+ here.
Hope you didn’t put too much on that 😁

The danger with scratching around with no real purpose like Nicholls has done here is that you can wear a bowling attack down without taking advantage, then a few quick wickets and you don't have a score on the board to show for your hard.  No matter how flat the pitch and how little lateral movement, you are always in the game if the opposition isn't putting scoreboard pressure on you

Good comeback from us, pleased for Robinson. I suspect a fallout once this test is done despite his apology, but he’s doing a good job on the field to put that out of mind

Blimey, that was a terrible drop by Broad.

Nice simple one for Braceys first test dismissal!

Robinson taken off with 4fer!

Imagine nearing a 200 in your debut innings, and watching the number 11 swing for the fences on the other end...

Does one of the England fielder have issues with left shoulder?  Every time the ball passes on the left the fielder tries stop the ball with the right hand.

Struggling to see what sibley offers to this England side, for me there are better openers on the county circuit

He’s certainly getting in to some interesting positions. With the way he brings his bat down at such an angle, it’s nigh on impossible for him to redirect it and catch up to a ball that swings swings away. His technique is fundamentally flawed.

Crawley needs to get rid of that wafty off drive too… it might look great when he crunches the ball to the boundary, but it’s also getting him out too often.

Sibley seems to be of those players that once in has the concentration to bat long, or the opposite he’s out early.
Not much in between. I guess you can take your pick which is better.

Burns seems the opposite often gets in but then out around 40-50 when the hard work is done.

Personally I don't see anything between Sibley and Burns as test batsmen.  They both have a questionable technique at this level which you would bank on experienced test bowlers to work them out.  The only difference today is that Sibley is back in the shed for one shaved his off stump whereas Burns survived one that was crashing into his leg pole
