Anyone watching it down there? Looks a lovely day in Hamilton and a nice crowd in too. Shame about Guptil though.

Thanks for starting this...I was going to but work got in the way. Being in Oz I can't get this on the tele but bet 365 do an off screen audio commentary.

I'll be listening tomorrow to the match from Napier.

There are plenty of streams. I'm in Canada and watched the whole match. Can't wait for the test matches, just hope NZ can put up a decent show. I would love to be NZ watching the cricket right now. The corporate areas are brilliant, just a roped off bit with plastic chairs and tables.

There's something very relaxing about kicking back on a grassy bank watching international Cricket.

I love Lords and in particular the Oval, but where you relax watching cricket in NZ, you cook or freeze depending on the weather watching from some crappy plastic seat in the UK.

So. One apiece. Good fireworks by New Zealand for a while but England finally mopped up the tail.

Good steady reply by England. Well set for the final in Auckland on Saturday.

Finn with an early wicket. Very impressive bowling.

I've just got the DVD of "Botham's" Ashes. He was a bit slimmer then but only a bit!

Just got home, put the radio on, oh dear.
Is it a bad wicket or have they just messed up?

According to the commentary that I'm listening to, they appear to have made a bit of a balls of it.

Bit of a come down after India slaughtered Oz.

It's terrible. The only saving grace is the beauty of the place. Personally I hate everywhere expect England, but **** me this place looks beautiful.

Slow but sure by England.

Not surprised though in 16 degrees.
