I'd hope not either but given the current situation I don't think it would matter all that much - no matter how England bat they'll be at least slightly ahead of the game and that is given a total horror collapse.

 

When was the last time a team bowled out for around or lower than 60 in the first innings went on to win a Test?

This aged well.

5 wickets, 8 runs, 28 balls. 

 

Oof.

Oof. 

Apparently six of those were extras according to the BBC.

England Market Leaders in collapsable chairs..& Funny postcards...

I should have bet NZ when we had bowled them out...should've known what was coming.

[Brizzle Fox]

Well that's the craziest day of test cricket I've ever attended.  17 wickets but to be honest it looked like a decent pitch to me.

Great line and length bowling by England in the morning although the NZ batters looked extremely rusty.

 

England's batting in response however.  Just no words...

Which is why you can't get too excited after a good bowling performance. McCullum has his work cut out.

[Tommy Fresh]

Actually done better with the bat than I thought we would against these back during the West Indies tour😂

I had to open my big mouth, didn't I?

 

That being said, in my defence the exact words were "no matter how England bat they'll be at least slightly ahead of the game and that is given a total horror collapse". 16 runs behind with three wickets in hand and a (reasonably) frontline batsman still there in Foakes is a horror collapse but also still is not far from being at least slightly ahead of the game, viz. a lead of 10-20 runs.

Broad & Anderson....50s...

A great day out at Lords yesterday spoiled only by the cricket 

 

The setting seems to bring out the best in the opposition and McCullum might need to think about playing all future home tests at Edgbaston where we have a much better record . I also have a ticket for Saturday btw 

[Super_horns]

Typical England .

Excellent bowling effort but still might find ourselves behind after the 1st innings !

[Lionator]

Why’s Broady swinging from the hip? Just stay with Foakes ffs. 

[Stinkenzo]

Supposing NZ set us 150ish, we'll either collapse to 75ao or we'll win by 10 wickets. 

[leicsmac]

Knife edge stuff now.

 

One good score from one batsman either side could be the difference.

[Vacamion]

 

I'm at Lords. Was here yesterday and today.  Never been before. Always been to grounds up North or in the Midlands.

 

It's glorious. 

 

It's like a bowling exhibition... 

 

 

[Super_horns]

Looking at the weather probably just as well this game is a long way into it to some extent unless the Kiwis get a big partnership going which means we'll never win chasing something over 150/`170.

[surrifox]

It’s great to watch Foakes behind the stumps , so much better than Jonny B and esp Butler 

[Super_horns]

Feel these 2 are building a partnership to put England out of the game with our batting record !

Yep . Rain might save England from a 100+ run defeat 

[Vacamion]

 

I totally put the bock on it...
