England chasing 277 to beat New Zealand: first Test, day four – live!
Foakes unfurls a lovely drive for four, the ball skimming up to the mid-on fence. He also threads one through cover to pick up two. England need 34 more runs. New Zealand still hunting for a breakthrough.Hi James, I’m listening from the blistering heat and dryness of the south of France, perfect batting conditions here.
I’m another 40 year+ supporter now hardened and gnarled by too many all-nighters waiting for the live commentary from Australia to start, only to have Phil de Freitas trot in and bowl some rubbish when it really needed a ball on the stumps. You sometimes wonder whether it’s more scary when England have bat in hand or ball in hand. I’m saying we actually win this one, then get beaten in the next two.”A couple of singles to each batter. New Zealand need something to happen here.
