NZ vs ENG Day 3: Tahurangi vs Death by Jarrod Coutts

Death 10yN of c4
Tahurangi S of c2
Death hits partner, rolled it 4y S of h2 and missed the ball in c2
Tahurangi hits the double in c2

02 May 2017 8:44AM (Tournament); 10 Readers

Runs h1 by 14 yards and has an 8y return or 6y forwards rush

02 May 2017 8:44AM (Tournament); 8 Readers

Eyes up the return but changes his mind and will take the forward one

02 May 2017 8:45AM (Tournament); 10 Readers

Changes his mind again and is going for the return

02 May 2017 8:45AM (Tournament); 10 Readers

Misses. That's a big opportunity lost. Bugger.

02 May 2017 8:45AM (Tournament); 10 Readers

I'm joined by the expert panel of, Kruncher, Aiton and Kenster with G Roberts in the background. Can't beat it for a bunch of spectators. Just a shame none of them have many opinions ;)

02 May 2017 8:47AM (Tournament); 11 Readers

Death misses his 15(?) yarder and Harps has another chance for a break

02 May 2017 8:53AM (Tournament); 12 Readers

Harps played all the hard shots but was then hampered after h2.. misses partner at h3 and retains the innings, but that's two chances where he needed to take breaks round to put Death under some pressure

02 May 2017 8:54AM (Tournament); 13 Readers

Death misses again and Harps has a 3rd chance to go round

02 May 2017 8:56AM (Tournament); 13 Readers

Does the hard bit and hits the 6 yarder in the middle

02 May 2017 8:56AM (Tournament); 15 Readers

Then takes off the lawn giving Death the world

02 May 2017 8:58AM (Tournament); 17 Readers

Jimbo hampered out of h1 but should be OK

02 May 2017 9:00AM (Tournament); 18 Readers

Hit's the hampered shot and that will be a clip on 4b

02 May 2017 9:01AM (Tournament); 21 Readers

Death has a defensive leave again.. Ball just off EB (h3 ball), ball on wb (h1 ball) and tight in c2

02 May 2017 9:13AM (Tournament); 22 Readers

Harps lifts the ball on the WB and heads to B baulk..

02 May 2017 9:18AM (Tournament); 20 Readers

Hit's into c2 and possibly has a cannon

02 May 2017 9:18AM (Tournament); 20 Readers

Mulliner will have a standard TP for g1

02 May 2017 9:19AM (Tournament); 20 Readers

Doesn't rush well enough to h1 and loads h2 going to the balls near h3.. hit's his 4 yarder and will be rushing to h1 from level with 3 on EB

02 May 2017 9:20AM (Tournament); 19 Readers

Approaches from 4ySW, runs h1 and I think that'll be game over. As usual, I'll update if anything exciting happens

02 May 2017 9:22AM (Tournament); 22 Readers

Back to the correct game for this commentary.. Harps has made h1.. has a ball in c2 and is taking croquet from 8yS of h2

02 May 2017 9:24AM (Tournament); 21 Readers

Harps doesn't get going, but keeps the innings which is the important thing

02 May 2017 9:30AM (Tournament); 18 Readers

Reminder;
Death 4b and 1
Harps 2 and 3

02 May 2017 9:30AM (Tournament); 18 Readers

Death corners

02 May 2017 9:38AM (Tournament); 19 Readers

Harps doesn't get going

02 May 2017 9:38AM (Tournament); 19 Readers

But keeps the innings

02 May 2017 9:39AM (Tournament); 20 Readers

Death misses another shot and Harps has the innings again.. can he get a clip on 4b or a good leave?

02 May 2017 9:45AM (Tournament); 19 Readers

Clips now on 3 and 4.. still has the inningsish.. but Death has a choice of 13 yarders and Harps has an 8 yarder if there is a miss

02 May 2017 9:58AM (Tournament); 23 Readers

Death hits with his h1 ball and that should be game over

02 May 2017 9:59AM (Tournament); 24 Readers

England are game up on 3/3 so far

02 May 2017 9:59AM (Tournament); 23 Readers

Death failed h1.. Harps turns down a 9 yarder for a laid break and takes on a 25 yarder joining up with partner.. misses

02 May 2017 10:06AM (Tournament); 27 Readers

Death picks up a 20 yarder and has a second chance at finishing game 1

02 May 2017 10:08AM (Tournament); 25 Readers

2 peels done and gets hampered out of 1b.. misses partner at Rover and we now have;
2b and rover vs 3 and 4

02 May 2017 10:20AM (Tournament); 23 Readers

Harps has an 8 yarder for all the balls

02 May 2017 10:22AM (Tournament); 21 Readers

02 May 2017 10:33AM (Tournament); 24 Readers

It's a cracker on the show lawn

02 May 2017 10:33AM (Tournament); 23 Readers

Good 8 yarder from Harps and has the innings.. but it's tough to get a break from here

02 May 2017 10:33AM (Tournament); 22 Readers

Death has just cornered when Harps has a pioneer at his hoop and some form of rush behind the break.. that is a surprise

02 May 2017 10:49AM (Tournament); 29 Readers

Come on Harps! Take it round son.

02 May 2017 10:50AM (Tournament); 29 Readers
