It was obvious that the ball was moving all over the place when the covers came off. It was very humid and damp, even so Peitersen lost paitence and got himself out. Bell was a bit unlucky, but then Collingwood left his brain in the pavillion, Shah looked so uncomftable.
Stuart Broad looked the most confident of the lot bat Cook who for all intents and purposes should of had a 100 if just someone could of stayed with him, sadly Bopara ran him out.
So yeah conditions did favour NZ (nice and sunny when they batted) but even so it was a farce. They were scoring at 10 runs an over...we were at 4.5 an over.
