Trying to follow tour game scorecards makes my brain hurt.

Quite. I think essentially the NZ batsmen who might play in the tests failed, the ones that probably won't did really well. England's quicks did alright, England's spinners did not. One over for Crane, Livingstone, Root and Malan (and Ali) all bowled more, which doesn't bode well for his selection chances. I don't get why you wouldn't even give him a chance if he's on the tour though.

England 29-2 at the wicket of Vince, who scored 45 of them. Nice. All out for 195, 203, 222, 235, 296, eventually we might get somewhere

make that back spasm a stress fracture...Crane on his way home Leach into the squad, at last some(rset) fans may say, but be warned if he does well he'll be off carrying drinks for large parts of the summer

Leeeeeeeeeeaaaaaach!
Not sure there's too much danger of drinks carrying over the summer - we only play one spinner at home so he'll either be in the XI or not in the squad you'd think, not a spare batsman.
Overseas tours on the other hand - I'd still be surprised if he plays before Sri Lanka

I’m surprised that anybody got a comment in before Nemo this morning!

I had to get some serious partying in before going online.
FWIW I don't think Leach is the second coming of Bishan Bedi or anything, just a proper specialist spinner and the best we currently have from a shallow pool.

I expect to wake up tomorrow morning to find that Vince has got out twice already. Somehow.

...wow. What do you say about that? You can’t. Forget it and come back next innings I think.
Amusingly, Vince is one of the only England players to emerge from that in any credit.
