England - 337/7
We bowled brilliantly yesterday or at least Southee and Boult did, just didn't get the results. 337 is a lot of runs to concede in a day and we looked knackered at the end of it. Bracewell not so much as he was carted round the ground. The ball seamed and swung all day and at lunch we had them on the ropes. However, that Joe Root bloke can bat. Bat awesome. We really should have had them out for 250 but things didn't go our way.
The state of the game is that if we get the rest of them out for less than 350 then we have a chance to secure a result. Any more than that then we are in saving the test mode. Can we last the remaining two and a half days batting against Anderson, Broad and a fired up Finn? Probably not. We are now looking for the weather to intervene unfortunately...
Fingers crossed for the boys.
