Someone who knows County Cricket?
Crazy idea…
Ben Mayes has got a hundred for England Lions in the 4 day game against S Africa A.
Instead of scoring runs for us.
Sigh…
We’re not playing today.
First test v New Zealand starts today at Lords, and guess what, yep, it’s raining, although we did get 10 overs and a wicket in…
New Zealand chose to field.
Jamieson to Gay, OUT
edged to first slip! And Gay has to go for 8, albeit playing a defensive shot. Length ball angles into Gay from around the wicket. He tries to fend off the back foot but the ball nips away slightly, takes the outside edge and goes to Mitchell at a comfortable height. This is Jamieson’s first Test wicket since Feb 2024Emilio Gay c Mitchell b Jamieson 8 (14b 2x4 0x6) SR: 57.14
24-1 from 10
Phil tunes in
Duckett gone 31-2
Bethell gone 33-3
No practice again
Play no cricket
Leave straight balls
55-5
Brook 50 up, streaky four to get it as well…
England 107-6 from 10.3
Atkinson is given out LBW which he is reviewing, looks plum to me…
Review lost
England 108-7 from 10.5
Brook gone, down the leg side, Brook get good contact but straight to fielder
England 113-8 from 31.5
Smith to Brook, OUT
swung straight to fine leg, Brook guns himself down! Short and heading leg side, heaved away… but straight to the lurking Jamieson, an easy catch even though the ball was travelling! Smith bags and tags another. England’s counterattack looks to be almost over
Harry Brook c Jamieson b Smith 56 (71b 10x4 0x6) SR: 78.87
