I'm liking the start from he openers. Seeing off the new ball well and leaving well.
It's all about playing the match co editions. New Zealand are wanting a fast paced game. Our openers taking time out the game now only sees off the new ball, but increased the likelihood that Mccullum will leave in vastly attacking fields when stokes root and Buttler are at the crease.

The longer our top order frustrates the quicker our lower order will score I suspect

Good first session with the bat. Both openers looking fairly settled. Desperate for both of them to get runs, certainly believe Lyth is the future - and we need Cook in form for the Ashes.

JoshBCFC · May 30, 2015

Cook has got the record

silvergull · May 30, 2015

Great work, Chef. Say what you want about his captaincy, no one can argue his world class ability as an opening batsman. Focusing just on Test cricket has seen him return to his imperious best.

This partnership also making a mockery of the claims that its a 200 pitch from the pundits. That said, this next hour is going to be tough. The warmer weather is seeing the ball start to move late.

JJH · May 30, 2015

50 for Lyth - dug in well.

Both openers built solid foundations for a high scoring innings.

JJH · May 30, 2015

Cook also moves onto 50.

Great start.

What date??

Haha no idea to be honest mate, I posted that yesterday after a few drinks and we were in the middle of having Surrey's pants down.

From the limited cricket I saw yesterday, it's clearly a batting pitch. Itll swing and seem early morning, but with the weather set fair I actually expect us to get close to 500 first innings. Not easy, but just a feeling

Two sessions in and this looks likely.

JJH · May 30, 2015

The ball hits Lyth's stumps but the bails don't come off.

Incredible, it really is his day.

JJH · May 30, 2015

Cook out after the review gets overturned.

Great innings.

JJH · May 30, 2015

Lyth goes to 100 in style.

Great knock lad.

silvergull · May 30, 2015

Cracking batting performance this. With only 4 bowlers, they are going to be knackered midway into tomorrow.

silvergull · May 30, 2015

The new ball brings a collapse. We're going to struggle to get to parity im afraid!!

Saddlerrad · May 30, 2015

Typical test cricket at Headingley. Sun is out and England cruise to 180-0. 2 hours later, its gloomy with the new ball and we are collapsing at 247-5 with Stokes, Root and Lyth all out. We will need to come back tommorrow and keep Buttler/Bell/Ali for at the crease for as long as possible. A commanding match winning situation with a big 100+ lead, now looks like a finely balance test match with us likely ending up behind after an innings each.

spireite · May 30, 2015

Balance caused that for me. Running out Lyth then giving his wicket away with shit play. It really put the wind in their sails

Super_horns · May 30, 2015

Typical of the test series really!

blademan89 · May 31, 2015

Good day out as always. Very very boring after tea for the 1st 45 mins as soon as lyth got his ton we went to the boozer. Absolutely stunned to see what happened after that. Hopefully the weather stays good we can match there score and go from there.

Pilgrim Meister · May 31, 2015

England Collapse now in full effect

267-8

blademan89 · May 31, 2015

Absolutely useless from 180-0 to this

JJH · May 31, 2015

Normal service resumed then.

What a way to throw away such a commanding start - and now we're on the back foot.

Absolute shambles.

Couldnt agree more.

silvergull · May 31, 2015

The wickets have fallen playing tentatively against the moving ball. Swing the bat. Stokes and buttler should have gone after the new ball

It's a bowling morning. Need to get as close to the NZ total as possible and hope for a great bowling performance.

blademan89 · May 31, 2015

Good stuff from broad and wood our 2nd highest partnership. Should they both go now theyve done there job game on

silvergull · May 31, 2015

Very useful partnership and the right way to play against a moving ball. You'll get out blocking, as shown by the 6 above them

Just need a great bowling session. chasing in the 4th innings will be so so tough

JJH · May 31, 2015

Important little partnership is this from Wood and Broad - both out there with attacking mindsets and looking to score freely.

Good stuff - 50 partnership up off 43 balls.

blademan89 · May 31, 2015

Well done woody good knock. Probably for the best we get out or smash em about going for it and then get some time bowling with the cloud cover as i think the suns coming out this afternoon

JJH · May 31, 2015

Well played Stuart Broad, great knock.

blademan89 · May 31, 2015

What a waste of 2 and a bit days scores bang level :2thumb:

.

Come on england

silvergull · May 31, 2015

Level. The match is going to come down to luck. Who gets to bat longest when he Suns out.
Two spells with the new ball. Need to get line and length rigt. Don't want the ball getting wet after crashing into the boundary

JJH · May 31, 2015

Even with the scores being level, it's still massive advantage NZ IMO.

We have to bat a 4th Innings on this pitch where rough is being created, in predicted overcast conditions over the next two days.

Need early wickets now.
