He;s been implicated in a racism report - which is a bit more than hearsay

On one guy and his buddy? FFS. Where's the evidence???

We shall see. Vaughan will not roll over.

I am fucking sick of this guilty until proven innocent shit.

But crack on and love it.

Yes but the allegations have been made and in the meantime the BBC had no option but to act. They couldn’t ignore them

If the allegations are talked about on the show and he actually is implicated could it not potentially be sub judice as there is a likelihood it will end up in court? I think for all parties it's sensible.

Now I have my rational hat on I think you and Jim are correct with that.

I absolutely believe Michael Vaughan and his character with fight this.

Shane Warnes reaction here cracked me up!

Martin Moxon, director of cricket at Yorkshire, is absent from work due to a stress related illness, we all wish him well I’m sure. 

Andrew Gale, Yorkshire first team coach, suspended pending investigation into historic tweet.

What a shambles.

NZ win toss and bat first, which makes them favourites here IMO.

Not impressed with selection of Billings.

England batting first. 54-2, Buttler just gone reverse sweeping.

Big 3 or 4 overs here. 9 overs gone. 

C'mon Moeen Ali, let's have some vintage tonking here from you. 🤞

Oops

Ha, you had me searching for a NZ total as had just got in from work and didn't know what time it started. 

Anyway, Moeen heard me and has turned up with a decent knock. 👏

Need 165+ here tho to put pressure on them. 

[den]

166 do?

Hard to predict this one. Every batsman found it hard to time the ball.

England need to start well and slowly build the required rate. 

[Admiral Nelsen]

Runs on the board, but I'd say advantage NZ with them batting second in these conditions.

Yep, happy with that. Batters done their job, bowlers need to step up now.

Either way, should be fun entertainment this. 

Glad I've got rest of day off to enjoy.

C'mon England! 

[chaddyrovers]

Still prefer to see Livingston and Morgan higher in the batting order than they are. 

Not a fan of Malan at 3 or Ali at 4 

Think England will win this by 15 runs due to our bowlers

Generally I think Malan gets a bit too much of a hard time, but I think we could rue him not really cashing in after eating up so many balls. Massive powerplay coming up

[den]

Yes!
 

[den]

Who hoo!

2 down.

Cheeky little start this.

Ramping up the pressure early doors. 

Great stuff. 

[chaddyrovers]

England doing well so far

[only2garners]

Still tight but Liam Livingstone taking two key wickets will help a lot.

[jim mk2]

NZ need 20 from 2 

Doable

[Silas]

Fair play to NZ, stunning batting this.

I'm not even going to blame the bowlers, just World class from the opposition. 

[jim mk2]

Oh dear. Defeat in the slap and tickle

It doesn't really matter

[AllRoverAsia]

Look no further than Jordan. Monumentally crap over.

Good slogging by the Kiwis.
