It wouldn't be an English summer without the traditional batting collapse!!!!

If only our collapses were limited to our summers then we’d be a half decent outfit.
We don’t discriminate-we’re quite open to giving away our wickets in everyone else’s summers too!

Glad I haven't got tickets for days 4 and 5......even day 3 for that matter!

Ha! No kidding! England and their collapses doing their best to ensure 4 day tests become the standard format by default!

Must be a nightmare for the host ground for each test. It must cost them a small fortune in lost revenue.

New Zealand have joined in the spirit by also collapsing. Perhaps all the payers fancy Sunday off to go watch Town.

Not much change this morning. Our tail didn't hang around for long and NZ are back at the crease, almost losing a wicket in the first over to a run out.

Has there ever been a two day test?

Think it was mentioned today that there were one or two in the very distant past when some teams were just not up to test cricket in their infancy.

Not that it matters now. NZ have shaken off their jet lag and a merrily amassing a huge lead after an early wobble.

I predict they will declare and rip through our pathetic batting to win by a big score.
