Probably best not to tune in to the horror show that's taking place at Lord's at the moment. England 25-3 against the Kiwis. |  | | |  |

I'm coming back to England for a couple of days at the 2nd test up in Leeds. At least the beer will be good I guess. Bell gone too now, 30-4. |  |

113-4 at lunch, with an excellent counter attack from Root and Stokes. Really glad now that I didn't follow my initial inclination and switch off in disgust when the 4th wicket went down. Root, in particular, is in amazing touch at the moment. | | | |

In Pietersens last 10 test innings for England he scored over 50 twice, and only 6 times in his last 20 knocks with one ton in that 20 innings.
Why does everyone thing KP is the answer to our problems ? Our problem is sticking with some of the old players and not brining in youngsters like the Aussies do, we never heard them crying for Pontings return. |  | | |

A bit like having Shearer as Newcastle manager. Took 8 games before everybody realised he wasn't a manager. |  |

Exactly. England's problem is the openers not the middle order. And the lack of a suitable replacement for Swann.
Also he's 35. He comes in and maybe scores some runs. Great, then what will Eng do in 2 years time? Even next year as his knee isn't in great touch.
Scoring a triple is not to be sneered at in any form, but pardon me if I don't wet my pants after a big score against an attack that's not won in 2 years during which he was dropped 5 times.
Plus he's a bell end. Text oppo telling them how to get his team mate out. Let him rot. When Piers Morgan is your biggest cheer leader maybe it's time to re-evaluate your life |  | | |

Unfortunately, that's not the point anymore. It was the point, and a very good one. But then the ECB opened the door again and set it all off once more. Absolute imbeciles. If you're going to pick your best batsman, you have to pick him. There are a million reasons why not to pick him, but that should have been made clear rather than doing what Graves did and giving KP and his fans hope again. If you say 'if he gets runs at county level, we'll have to consider him' then he gets 350, you look a bit of a pr!ck to then say you're not picking him for other reasons.
Personally, I agree we have to move on and hopefully now we will. And I'll still refrain from making big judgements about test matches until about Day 4 - sessions, even whole days can make total mugs out of punters getting too upset/far too confident. Great comeback today! |  |

Bloody typical, usually go to the first day of the first Lords test of the summer but a combination of an earlier date and not checking the dates against going on holiday means i missed what seems to have been a great days cricket. | |

Also just back. People's days...adults £20, kids free and a cracking day's entertainment.
loads of play-off supporters on the tube and trains, Canaries seemed muted and Boro seemed chirpy - v strange. |  |

Maybe the Naaaarrrrrggge supporters have just realised that they have a shìt season ahead of them and the Boro' lot have realised that they have just escaped a shït season and can enjoy another year in the Championship. | |

It was utterly bizarre DW....there was no telling who'd won it.
Anyway the day at Lords was sublime and made me feel heaps better about my current sporting life. | |

When any non cricket follower asks the question, and they do "Who's winning?" you can always reply none of them until it's finished, as you can never tell.
Not always, but often enough, cricket matches can turn about face in next to no time. | |

Good post stoner,a fantastic advert for test cricket and the reason i missed yesterdays hammering.
In fact i'd go as far as to say that was one of the best test matches i've ever witnessed played in the sort of honest determined manner you rarely see on the football pitch now days.
As much as i love Rangers,i'll take this all day long. |  | | |

Let's hope he can wind up the team so that all runs like clockwork in time for the Ashes. | | | |

Blackcrowe I am utterly jealous. I am in Tenerife and have been since day one and have been 'watching' it via the cricinfo site text service which has been very quick and very good but without the chance of finding a live radio stream anywhere. A fantastic five days of cricket and before anybody says English cricket is back, this test could have swung either way even on the last day and we could have equally been bemoaning an English defeat, albeit to what I believe against a team that currently has the best fast bowling attack in the world and the premier fast bowler in Trent Boult and a team that's batters could take a game away from you in one session. But it was a great win and something to build on. Just shows what can be achieved when allowing players to play their game without inhibition. This test would not have been out of place in the 2005 Ashes series, which for me was the greatest five match series ever. | |
