Great cricket from the lasses today. Super fielding when the pressure was on and they got it done.

I thought they were going to throw it away after doing a great job when India only needed 52 at a run a ball.

ODI side being rubbish in NZ - only bright spot is Archer looking good. Those joining the Ashes Squad look poor

The women trying to give the men's side a boost by playing so badly it makes the men look like world beaters

South Africa beat India at Eden Gardens in the first test. Pitch was a shocker which seems to be a theme in India lately when it comes to tests.
3 players in the Proteas XI are from my school - Markram, Harmer and Bosch. Super proud

Well first session done
23 overs in a session is embarrassing
The coverage and commentary is awful
Pope was excellent, Starc superb - the LBWs are those that the away side prob doesn’t get
Need a big afternoon session from Brook and Stokes

Well I went with the 5am wake-up for the afternoon session, and we didn’t get a big afternoon from anyone! Some poor shots in the circumstances.
A much better start with with the ball.

Been brilliant with the ball - getting one of these two will be huge
If a half decent over rate had been maintained this game could have been done and dusted in two days.

It still could be, even at the current over rate.

It’s a shame that the coverage has been so poor
Great work from Stokes , he has that knack of grabbing key wickets

The coverage poor, but I've been comparing it to how excellent (imo) Sky's cricket coverage is, it was never going to get anywhere near it. Really missing the banter between Nasser and Athers.

I've been travelling this morning, just seen the scores in bare form. Has the pitch been lively, both sets of bowlers brilliant or brain dead batting?
Could be a mixture of all 3 of course but you don't expect 19 wickets on day 1 of a test. It's not advisable to buy a ticket for day 5 of a test but if day 3 is iffy, that's not good

En
Tail didn’t wag apart from a mini slog from Smith
England bowled brilliantly - every bowler was spot , Atkinson strangled them and the others got the wickets , Archer was used correctly- short spells and was lethal and them Stokes just moped them up
Prob just one dropped catch as well
Englands batters didn’t bat too badly apart from Crawley, Starc was outstanding and there were some close LBW’s
