England v Pakistan

[The Subhuman]

Start of a new era for rock bottom test team England?

Bairstow with a stunning catch followed it with another in the slips to make it 2-2, Anderson bowling well has both and both openers back in the hutch

[The Subhuman]

Bairstow again this time off Broad .. 7-3 Conway gone

[The Subhuman]

[Jaydog]

Some catch. Could of easily been distracted by the other slip.

[The Subhuman]

Matty Potts in his debut over gets the scalp of Kane Williamson 12-4 caught by Foakes behind the wkt

Great start

[The Subhuman]

[The Subhuman]

NZ scoring the Fibonacci sequence here so far

1 - 1 - 2 - 3 - Mitchell on 5 atm....

[The Subhuman]

but this is what Stuart Broad told the media earlier this week...

“Brendon has come into the bowling group and said ‘don’t focus too much on economy rates, I want wickets, let’s try to get as many wickets as we can, as quickly as possible.

"'Let’s have the mindset of where can I get an extra slip or short leg from, rather then being too defensive.’

[The Subhuman]

Jack Leach withdrawn for concussion after hitting his head on the field while fielding. A like for like replacement is allowed. Liam Dawson maybe ...

[The Subhuman]

Mitchell plays on and Potts gets wkt #2, too quick for Mitchell who was late, goes for 13 which is a Fibonacci number, just not in sequence

27-5

[The Subhuman]

Matthew Parkinson has been called up to replace Leach.

Matthew Potts gets his third, we have a player there Blundell clean bowled again late on it 3 for 6 now Potts and NZ 36-6

[1964white]

Good old Jimmy & Jonny.

Will be interesting to see how our openers will cope with the wicket when England bat.

[The Subhuman]

39-6 at lunch

39 runs before lunch is very low, late LBW appeal went to the tape but turned down, very very close to out. Just whether the ball hit the pad or bat first, just not clear enough apparently, went with the umps decision

[The Subhuman]

Jameson in slog mode goes first over caught on the boundary off Anderson by Potts

[The Subhuman]

45-7

[The Subhuman]

Another Potts catch in the deep sees off Southee after a short cameo... Anderson has 4

[The Subhuman]

Potts leaves the field 2 balls into an over, we're down 3 bowlers now and Potts had a shot at a debut 5fer..

[The Subhuman]

Broad coming back on now as is Root after both spent some injury time in the dressing room

[The Subhuman]

118-9

[1964white]

82 runs with the loss of two wickets has held England up.
