Notes for the (Bay) Oval #3
Blinded by the lights (cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night)
Loose thoughts and rambling from day three of the first test
ENGLAND 325-9 dec & 374
NZ 306 & 63-5
Now is not the time for bragging, nor is it necessarily the time for gallows humour, but this is the WhatsApp exchange I had with my neighbour at 7.29pm tonight.
Thankfully I was wrong. At 8.29pm New Zealand were 27-4.
Those three runs could be vital tomorrow.
