Not happy about today... a generous declaration by NZ and no points resting on the result - why didn’t they give it a go??

I'm not surprised, it's rubbish. That was not a great Test.

Miranda, TMS is safe for you this time, Simon Mann is not on the list of commentators  I see Alison Mitchell is too  but I hope they will give more sessions to Isa because she is very good And Alastair Cook is back as well, no county championship matches for a while |

How many people were allowed back into Edgbaston?
The crowd noise was so loud that after the end of play anyone involved in the post-play interviews almost had to shout.... no idea what they were singing* but it was the same over and over and I don’t think they noticed for a while that play had finished for the day!
The Barmy Army again I suppose. I don’t want to sound like a kill-joy, but the tickets cost a lot and it is not much fun for anyone else when they start up. Some grounds worse than others.
* I’m sure at one point they were bawling ‘Football’s coming home’!

Edgbaston was pretty much full today. So the noise would be at its normal level.
I'm watching the highlights and can someone please explain why Crawley is at 3? He's playing without any confidence at all. I think he should go back to his county and remember how to play.

I was surprised that they were talking about the wicket being flat. Cos that's unusual at Edgbaston. But no, it played it's usual tricks after lunch!

To the England batsmen: this is not T20. This is Test cricket. You have 5 days. If it looks a bit dodgy, LEAVE IT ALONE!

It was a govt ‘pilot event’ apparently, so 18,000 (aged 16 and above) and no social distancing required. I obviously missed that announcement |

What is going on with our keeper and slips? Have they all dipped their hands in cooking oil?

Anymore to come?
