Martin to Compton 43/1
Martin to Compton,OUT,floated up outside off and Compton comes down the track, tries to go over the in-field and gets a wild outside edge that loops to point.
|
Boult to Cook 67/2
Boult to Cook,OUT,swinging away, snicks the edge and Watling takes a brilliant diving catch! Cook's a goner! Boult gets his man, and with only two added to his score since the lbw appeal. The conditions have just tipped back towards the bowling side at Lord's and Boult exploited the atmospherics adroitly, nipping the ball away on that in-between length - though it needed an excellent low take from the keeper to complete the dismissal and send Cook back
|
Boult to Trott 112/3
Boult to Trott,OUT,oh what a cracker, edged and a superb catch at third slip.
|
Wagner to Bell 157/4
Wagner to Bell,OUT,sliding across the right-hander and Bell follows it and nicks off.
|
Southee to Root 192/5
Southee to Root,OUT,full ball down the leg side, a cry for a strange and given out caught behind.
|
Southee to Prior 192/6
Southee to Prior,OUT,inswinger, a top delivery, catches Prior on the pad and given out lbw.
|
Wagner to Broad 195/7
Wagner to Broad,OUT,full, straight and swinging and Broad is plumb lbw.
|
Wagner to Swann 201/8
Wagner to Swann,OUT,length just outside off, thin edge and taken!
|
Southee to Finn 221/9
Southee to Finn,OUT,this time it is a wicket! Southee pitches it further up from wide of the crease, the batsman tries to flick it to the on side, but he played outside the line and that would have crashed on the middle and leg stump. Wicket no. 3 for Southee
|
Southee to Bairstow 232/10
Southee to Bairstow,OUT,oye! What a catch! Southee takes No. 4. This was fuller on off stump and Bairstow thumps it back towards the bowler with a lot of power. Southee had barely a fraction of a second to react and he does well as he hold on to this waist high catch to his left

Anderson to Rutherford 5/1
Anderson to Rutherford,OUT,edged and gone! caught at first slip! This one had a lot of movement and there wasn't much the batsman could have done about it. It pitched short of length around leg stump, then starts swinging away. Rutherford tries hard to defend that, but he is squared up a bit by the movement. The ball takes a fine edge and Cook does well to dive to his right and take a good low catch
|
Anderson to Fulton 7/2
Anderson to Fulton,OUT,thick outside edge and taken at second slip
|
Anderson to Taylor 100/3
Anderson to Taylor,OUT,the finger goes up straightaway! It was a fuller length delivery angling in from the bowler, Taylor went back and across and played outside the line of that and was hit right in front of the middle. Aleem Dar was ready with his signal the moment Anderson turned around in his appeal..
|
Finn to Brownlie 147/4
Finn to Brownlie,OUT,very full and slaps the pad, must have hit this or he is gone, not out given but England review.
|
Broad to McCullum 155/5
Broad to McCullum,OUT,a wicket in the first over! It was a fuller length delivery outside off and immediately the batsman comes forward to play the drive through off, the ball seams away and everyone goes up in an appeal. But the batsman takes ages, he discusses it with his partner about a review and asks for it. A bad review in the end as the Hot-spot shows the edge
|
Anderson to Williamson 177/6
Anderson to Williamson,OUT,and a lucky strike for Anderson as Williamson tickles it down the leg side! Easy catch for Prior and New Zealand's main man is gone. No. 4 for Anderson
|
Finn to Southee 194/7
Finn to Southee,OUT,short of length outside off, he tries to whack it straight down the ground with a horizontal bat short, gets a thick top edge that goes high and is swallowed by Root at cover
|
Anderson to Martin 195/8
Anderson to Martin,OUT,bowled him, that's a ripper! Top of off stump and Martin had no clue how to play that! Anderson has another five-for at Lord's, he holds up the ball to the crowd. It was pitched on a length, just moved away a touch after successive in-duckers and rattled the off pole right on the forehead
|
Finn to Watling 207/9
Finn to Watling,OUT,swishes lazily and was there a feather? Yes, says Steve Davis! That delivery wasn't a drivable length but Watling was in the mood to play Lewis Hamilton (maybe Mark Webber?) and threw the hands, there wasn't an audible nick but the umpire's finger went up straight away as England celebrated and Watling, though looking a little puzzled, elects not to review and trudges off
|
Finn to Boult 207/10
Finn to Boult,OUT,banged in again, Boult merely fends this from in front of his face and it loops gently to Anderson in the gully. That's the plate licked clean, then, Finn claiming four-for - this is why he's always useful, even when not really firing - and England have garnered a useful, perhaps unlikely, 25-run lead on first innings

Boult to Cook 36/1
Boult to Cook,OUT,caught at third slip! Super catching at slip, absolutely no doubt about this one, it's Dean Brownlie who dives to his left, gets both hands to it and lands with a smile on his face.. It was full, it was wide, it was swinging away. Another day, Cook would have left that alone, but he went after it this time and got a thick edge
|
Wagner to Compton 36/2
Wagner to Compton,OUT,corker! Jaffa! After making him complacent with a few wide outside off, Wagner throws this one full and on off stump, it shapes back in and hits the off stump, sends it cartwheeling a few meters back. Compton was a touch slow to come forward after leaving the last few alone
|
Southee to Root 159/3
Southee to Root,OUT,inside edge and bowled him! Middle stump lies flat on its back - there is a chink in Root's youthful armour plating after all. Southee has been indefatigable with the ball in hand in this game and his persistence pays off, maybe aided by a slightly tired defensive stroke but the scrambled seam brought it back enough and the bat came down late to deflect it through the castle gate
|
Southee to Bairstow 167/4
Southee to Bairstow,OUT,full, straight and bowled him! Another timber trembler from Southee, yorking YJB via his front foot, the ball clattering into the stumps and making a right old mess! Lovely bowling to Bairstow, who's not the best starter, he tried to play to leg and was beaten for pace
|
Southee to Prior 171/5
Southee to Prior,OUT,dug in short, Prior rocks back to pull ... and picks out square leg! Southee has three in 16 deliveries and Prior collects a pair! Quite different to Southee's usual MO, this time the bumper works, Prior seemed ready but it just climbed on him, came off the splice and sailed to the substitute, Martin Guptill. The wobble is on!
|
Williamson to Trott 171/6
Williamson to Trott,OUT,tossed up, spins back through the gate and they've got another! BIG turn for Williamson out of the rough, possibly a hint of inside edge as Trott tried to drive, the ball clattering into the top of middle - England have lost four for 12 in a little over six overs!
