Potts with wicket need a couple or quick wickets to cause panic

this has been a very good test, and i very much enjoyed my day at Trent Bridge yesterday. hoping for England to dictate the target with wickets, and not NZ. finely poised!

Stokes has already done the No look catch.

Now he’s just perfected the No look run out.

No look batting next?

Leach is doing no look bowling so why not ;-)

He’s forgotten his glasses. Sadly he’s not superman and is still shit without them on.

In a queue to get free tickets for the 5th day. Cheap trains from Sheff, too, leaves money for pints in West Bridgford.

Unless you're chasing runs in the fourth innings and you're running out of overs, I find it hard to fathom why you'd get yourself run out in a test match. Time/overs isn't generally an issue. Most batsmen are also a pretty good judge of whether they can beat the throw. And taking on a fielder's arm these days is risky. Even if the scenario is 75/25 in your favour, why chance it?

Quite fanciful of the BBC to suggest England sense a victory push - 181 ahead , six wickets in hand one day left.
Oh and Leach :-)

Leach doesn’t believe he is any good that’s the problem with Leach of give Root a bowl Stokes

The likeliest outcome is the draw. Unless we have a stereotypical England collapse tomorrow! I can’t see the Kiwis setting England anything much less than 300, which would take near enough up to lunch to set that target. And England wouldn't try to chase that down at pretty much 5 runs an over.
