[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

West Indies hanging on, 223-4, need only a further 308 runs to win. New Zealand have two bowlers injured, so who knows. Hope 127, Greaves 62, 158 partnership for the 5th wicket.

Currently 390-6, need 140 more, New Zealand only have 2 inexperienced fast bowlers and 2 part time spinners. Might be history being made!

Tremendous effort from the West Indies, albeit against a depleted attack. Chasing 531 they finished on 457-6, Greaves 202*, the second highest fourth innings total in history.

Meanwhile, England's crapness extends to the England Lions unofficial test against Australia A. Bundled out for a paltry 166, Australia A closed on 554-7. Bashir with figures of 25-2-115-0, hardly staking a claim for a return to the test team.

SA currently get pwned by India in the 3rd T20 match of their series.
Quinten De Kock out for 1 in the first over…

Can only be good news this, if he stays fit that is.

Still bowling really well isn't he? McCullum prematurely ended his international career to prepare for the current shower in Australia.

Spent the previous two years especially preparing for this debacle didn't they. Then a dibbly dobbler gets a five wicket haul, you couldn't make it up.

West Indies getting another hammering. New Zealand 334-1, a record opening partnership (323) in tests and their second highest ever.

New Zealand became the first country in Test history in which both openers scored a century in both innings. Latham and Conway put on 323 in the first innings and combined for 515 runs overall, which is a record for an opening pair's total in a Test match.

England play New Zealand in three tests next summer.

Great ball. Pope is still on his way to becoming a world class player though.

Reckon he'll get back in over Ramsdale JJ?

Talk of Tim David returning to Lancs for the Blast

Hopefully he’s learnt to move his feet

Rumours that Bashir is going to Derbyshire. Of all the counties' pitches that would be conducive to spin, Derbyshire would be very near the bottom, if not actually bottom.

That's because any county that has a spinning pitch actually wants a good spinner
