Cricket scores around the world

**happynz** · 28-02-2023, 06:13 AM

England batsmen feasting on NZ bowling like it's a twenty/20 chase. NZ really needs a breakthrough right about now.

**DrWilly** · 28-02-2023, 07:07 AM

They just need Root... 74 off 74 at end of session 1.

Stokes still a danger also.

**Mendip** · 28-02-2023, 07:37 AM

Stokes seems happy just to stay in and let Root score the runs. Maybe it's his knee bothering him?

**Mendip** · 28-02-2023, 08:40 AM

Oh dear...

202 for 7 and still need 56 to win...

**cyrille** · 28-02-2023, 08:40 AM

Well I guess Neil Wagner's test career has just been prolonged.

**harrybarracuda** · 28-02-2023, 08:41 AM

Throwing wickets away with abandon now, with 56 still required.

HC will be polishing his nail varnish.

Stokes then Root, both gone. Exactly what England did not want.

**harrybarracuda** · 28-02-2023, 09:00 AM

Big ask now.

**harrybarracuda** · 28-02-2023, 09:42 AM

What a nailbiter!

Great test match. Afternoon of day five and there are 9 runs in it.

**harrybarracuda** · 28-02-2023, 09:52 AM

And that's another wicket thrown away by impatience.

Surely England can't get over the line now?

**cyrille** · 28-02-2023, 09:53 AM

What a game!

Facing one of the world's best bowlers, with a number 10 at the other end.

It isn't a time for 'patience'.

It very much is when you've ground away to single figures playing sensible cricket.

**cyrille** · 28-02-2023, 09:58 AM

Another sport you don't have a scooby about.

**Shutree** · 28-02-2023, 10:00 AM

Jack Leach scored a run!

It seems your knowledge of cricket is right up there with your knowledge of Thai law.

**Mendip** · 28-02-2023, 10:02 AM

Jimmy got a four!

**harrybarracuda** · 28-02-2023, 10:06 AM

The Sky website still says 8 they must be glued to the TV as well.

**harrybarracuda** · 28-02-2023, 10:08 AM

Too many wickets thrown away.

Well played NZ what a great match.

**cyrille** · 28-02-2023, 10:09 AM

How tf was that first ball not a wide?

Great game!

**harrybarracuda** · 28-02-2023, 10:10 AM

Fucking hell that couldn't have been much thinner.

**cyrille** · 28-02-2023, 10:15 AM

Only the fourth time ever that a side following on has won.

The second time that a test match has been won by one run.

Probably the same Chiang Mai umpire who did our final a few years ago

Looks like Sky Sports are sulking that BT had it.
