Black Caps v England Test series

[Chris B.]

What' the weather like in Auckland today?

I'm imagining we're going to lose a fair bit of time in this test match - what can we expect playing test cricket in late-March/early-April!

Hot.

[Chris B.]

@virgil Hot and dry or hot and wet ("nice if you're with a lady but no good in the jungle!")?

@chris-b it's Auckland, there will be moisture, and not the good kind.

Hot and dry, I’m north in silverdale but it’s a lovely day in New Zealand’s great city, the playground to stars like Barrack Obama and Max Key

I'm giving this an upvote for some wit in the last sentence.

Kane wins the toss and NZ will bowl. Root would have batted anyway.

[Virgil]

Brilliant start so far, no not the cricket.

The Sky Go app is working, hasnt crashed yet.

[Bovidae]

So Cook out is better news!

Gottim yessss

[Chris B.]

There's a bit of swing for Trent and Timmy - more for Tim, I think - but, nothing untoward.

Cook has played a couple of false shots - a mistimed pull shot that lobbed back over the bowler and mid-on... and now Boult gets him caught at 2nd slip!

[Bovidae]

What a gem from Boult to get Root.

[Chris B.]

6/2 - Boult does through Root and hits top of off!

[Chris B.]

Malan nicks Boult through to Watling 16/3.

[Bovidae]

BJ's hip must be OK. Good catch.

[booboo]

We loves Trent

[MN5]

The world's most overrated all rounder is at the crease already. We could be batting by lunch at this rate.

[booboo]

We likes Timmah too ...

[Bovidae]

A better catch from BJ.

[booboo]

We going to get to play under lights?
