Tea NZ 128-4, lead by 119…
Not been England’s session at all…
NZ making batting look easy now
Um.

Pope does De Grandhomme with an excellent bit of opport…
FUCK ME!
Crazy over from Broad.
Back in the game! Even the Lord’s crowd got ever so slightly excited.
251-7.
Game on!
265-8.
Blundell out for 96 🤦🏼
Lead 256.
Conditions have changed to favour the bowlers, with our batspeople we’ll be lucky to make 100…
Let me enjoy the morning before serving the massive portion of cold reality gruel.
277 to win.
It’s the hope that hurts the most.

Creepy trying to get out and as I write succeeding in his quest ffs!

Enjoy your snooze. I unfortunately can’t stop rubber necking this absolute shit show.
69-4
