New Zealand v England | 3rd Test | Auckland | March 22-26, 2013

[Buffet]

I think Eng is safe now. I can't see NZ taking 3 wickets on this flat pitch in so few overs. Well batted Prior but job is not over yet. NZ was better team over the series but good batting by Eng here.

 

[Gunther]

The best of friends in the team doing it togeather

 

[Kwremb]

What a 100 from Prior, one of the best all time WK batsman

 

[Justcrazy]

8 overs

 

[leatherface58]

Awesome Prior. Brilliant batting.

 

[Saurav]

awesome stuff England,well deserved draw

 

[Gunther]

7 to go! we are also now into the xtra time

 

[Sledger]

Boult on again. Probably the last roll of the dice for NZ.

 

[KPfan]

An amazing display of grit.

 

[Saurav]

again hitting stumps

glued,are they?

 

[Sledger]

Review for lbw.

 

[Sledger]

Hit the stumps again, bails not going anywhere again. Same end as Prior's.

Not out lbw.

Not NZ's day.

 

[Kwremb]

Clearly England's day, simply no luck for NZ, happened twice, hit the stumps, bails unmoved.

 

[Gunther]

Would have felt for Boult had it been against any team other than Eng

 

[Sledger]

Dropped it seems.

 

[Sledger]

Drop but really very tough to take that.

 

[Justcrazy]

England require another 181 runs with 3 wickets remaining

 

[Sledger]

Last 5 overs. Game is basically done now.

 

[Sledger]

Will Matt Prior steal the MOM from Fulton?

 

[Gunther]

4 to go! Come on England

 

[Saurav]

Broad

still some drama???

 

[Sledger]

Broad is out. One last chance for NZ.

 

[Sledger]

Nervy times for Anderson now. Let's see what happens.

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[ads101]

come on NZ.

 

[Justcrazy]

Anderson can hang around.

 

[Saurav]

Anderson gone as well lol

 

[Kwremb]

NZ please do it, need a yorker

 

[Sledger]

Anderson out for a second ball duck. )

 

[GenericBrand]

Looool, Prior kicking himself in the ass.

 

[ads101]

haha another one down. Kane you legend. Only one wicket left!

 

[Kwremb]

Yes yes yes, just one more yorker

 

[khiska]

Man I have not been this engrossed in a test match in quite some time... The last one I remember was SA VS AUST with Smith's broken arm, and then Eng vs SA
Wow what an incredible encounter

 

[Sledger]

Can't believe it lol. Panesar in and one wicket needed for the New Zealand team to win this.

 

[ads101]

Will panesar repeat his past heroics or not?

 

[Sledger]

Great test.

 

[Sledger]

304/9. Prior must keep strike now.

 

[Paradox]

Holy crap, this game.

 

[ahmed778]

Unbelievable.
What a Test Match.
COME ON NZ 1 MORE WICKET!!!!

 

[Paradox]

NZ CANNOT let Prior retain strike!

 

[Paradox]

They NEED one full over to Monty, wicket will come

 

[IgnitedMind]

Epic !!

 

[ahmed778]

Come on nz!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

Prior will play out the overs

 

[ahmed778]

Wild Full Toss no run.

 

[Sledger]

Boult to Prior. They need to try and get the wicket at both ends here - only one needed.

 

[KPfan]

3 overs to stick around for is not much of an ask, especially with Prior still there. This game's headed for a draw.

 

[Kwremb]

Please send a streaker to knock out Prior, please

 

[ahmed778]

Damn Matt Prior.

 

[IgnitedMind]

inside edge !!!

 

[ahmed778]

Inside Edge almost chopped on.

 

[ads101]

Tension rising out there . Fantastic stuff.

 

[ahmed778]

Bouncer!

 

[ahmed778]

Leaves it alone.

 

[Sledger]

Panesar looking terrified. )

 

[IgnitedMind]

what if NZ players kick the ball to four?

 

[ahmed778]

Last ball.
Come on gotta save the single.

 

[Justcrazy]

[ads101]

Goes for four lol.

 

[IgnitedMind]

Panesar on strike

 

[ahmed778]

UNBELIEVABLE
Goes for a four.

 

[khiska]

Yes!!!!!! Last ball 4

 

[ahmed778]

Panesar on strike.

 

[Paradox]

Cmon Kane!

 

[ahmed778]

Come on NZ!

 

[Saurav]

Monty's face

 

[Sledger]

Gone for four. Panesar on strike to the spin.

 

[Paradox]

Bowl Kane the spinner at Monty or the pacer?!

 

[Sledger]

This is gonna be tense.

 

[Paradox]

Kane it is.

 

[ads101]

[ahmed778]

[Paradox]

Monty takes the single! Game over for NZ. Prior to block the next 5

 

[IgnitedMind]

[ahmed778]

OH no.

 

[Sledger]

2 overs remain. This is the key one.

 

[IgnitedMind]

[Justcrazy]

2 overs left , this over is crucial

 

[KPfan]

That's the way Monty boy.

 

[Sledger]

What a dive. Superman in the house. )
