Reminds me of the ashes series where England spent most of it bowling to I think Hussey and Haddin.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Anyone got any good streams for the Eng-NZ test? The ones I've tried are all terrible.
Will PM around lunch time.
EDIT - I'll take any anyone else has to offer as well, never hurts to have more options.
Cool, thanks
That was surely missing leg.
England clueless against tailenders swinging as usual. Immediately go to bumpers.
Anyone else think that Daryl Mitchell is a dead ringer for Bruno Fernandes?
You're not miles away.
Leach has spun them into oblivion there, unbelievable 5-fer.
leach by name, leach by nature.
| Bowler | Overs | Maidens | Runs | Wickets | Econ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leach | 38.3 | 8 | 100 | 5 | 2.60 |
Lovely stuff for a first innings.
He did actually bowl quite well, but the 5 wickets had a real element of burglary about them.
But he's not had much rub of the green in his career so far TBF.
he was also robbed of a 2-fer when nicholls and mitchell should have both been caught out on the same ball.
Quite right.
what a delivery.
Near enough unplayable.
agreed. though i’d have ramped it over the keeper and then fist bumped baz mac, before stokes demanded i take the captaincy.
It was ripe for the helicopter shot over mid wicket.
it’s like lees isn’t even serious about playing ttwentyest cricket for england.
Things back to normal I see
Lees - great ball
Pope - good ball, poor technique.
Crawley - horrendous shot.
Has to be it now for Crawley.
Under 100 all out on here.
It is a great spell of bowling to be fair and currently made for swing bowling.
Why do England have to have one of these performances every fecking series.
Just tuned in...23-4 in 8 overs?! What the feck happened?
Why play such booming drives when you know it's swinging?! Hang back and play it late.
20-4 off 8 overs ffs.
20-4 off 8 overs ffs.
They have forgotten how to play left arm seam bowling.
Pathetic from Stokes. There's a difference between playing aggressively and just being reckless.
You're a high quality batsman, just play normally!

Was never going to end well for Stokes trying to treat it like a T20
wonder if they’ll enforce the follow on.
Dear me... At least we've already won the series I guess.
I suppose at least we've waited until the series was won to have a shocking batting display. That makes it a bit different.
Stokes is to good to play that way in Test Cricket.
Stokes is at least getting himself ready for the T20 World Cup in a dead rubber...
Not been a great test match for Foakes so far

First innings at Lords.
What do we need to stay in this? 230+? 250+?
Get within a hundred and we'll have a decent chance, I think.
We could end up chasing 600 and they'd still think they can win after the last two matches, mind.
If England can get within 100 of NZ, they're still very much in this
