English Cricket Summer Tests 2016 - NZ & Aus
Discussion
202/1 is a decent score in any conditions/pitch
Kiwis struggling have gone into the game with only four frontline bowlers.
Great to see Lyth get a score, perfect timing and settles him in for the rest of the summer.
English bowling attack is still a little inconsistent, but I like the look of Wood, seems to have something slightly different. Broad remains an expensive bowler, but a wicket taker.

200 for 1, 253 for 5
Our "world class" middle order, looking pretty ordinary today.
Anyway, the Hammer of Justice is still out there, so that's a bonus, he needs to scratch himself back into form.
But Ballance running out the Lyth was just poor.
Anyway, reckon we will get to par, but it could and should have been a little better than that.

Only another 423 needed from here, we should win at about tea tomorrow.
Only if they let us bat down to 18.... We have dropped far too many catches in this match to have a chance.
Still records are there to be broken. I am sure Ian Bell will get one of his double centuries and win the match, or alternatively chase a wide one off to third slip for 7.

Simon Hughes was speaking on TMS , comparing Root and Bell. He said Bell needed constant reassurance. Belly you are top player , world class coaches would say to him daily . He had a very precise routine before play 10 throw downs each of round the wicket , over the wicket and a spinner. Root had none of that. Goes some way to explain why it took so long to score a century when nobody else in the team did.
Sorry probably being thick here, are you saying Bells preparation is good, or that Root is mentally more sturdy. I am not sure which batsman you are referring to.

Think it is just to sell a few tickets. Run rate is beyond England as a team, though one or two individuals could manage it, but I suspect they can't hang around long enough to make it happen.
