England are an incredible team as well. Batting, bowling and fielding was pretty much perfect.

Yes they are but the Kiwis just wanted off the pitch. Even in defeat players can try to stake their claim for a place or try and build a partnership to reduce the end margin. They got absolutely nothing out of that game, dreadful for team morale.

Why when stumping are referred by the third umpire do they also check for a caught behind?

It’s giving the bowling team an extra review.

They should only check for the stumping.

County Championship (remember that?) resumes tomorrow. Surrey host Warwickshire while Lancashire travel to Northamptonshire.

Luke Proctor gets a 12 ball duck captaining Northants against his old county as the senior batsman. Time flies.

85-3 lancs back in it.

Sad to read of the passing of Heath Streak. RIP.

49. No age. Cancer is absolutely brutal.

Surrey on Nelson for the loss of two after being put in by Warwickshire. Good to see Kemal Roach back.

Tough chase, but the pitch looks dead.

Anybody find the BBC commentary team a bit cringy. Far too conversational, and not enough of what's going on. A 2 minute gab on what two of the women comms were wearing, took the piss

These two need to shit or get of the pot
