This is frustrating.

Be lucky to get 280 now.

Great bowling by Boult. That lump Livingstone gone cheaply

300 would be great.

Livingstone is a dangerous player.

Flatters to deceive far too much for me. Tame dismissal.

300 would be good - but you'd expect NZ to be very happy chasing a target of about that. What a bloody great over this has been from Trent Boult - dot, dot, dot, dot, wicket. After this 39th over, with us at 221-6 they have 6 more overs from the three (Boult/Henry/Santner) who are going at about 4.5 an over - can't see us taking that much more than 30-35 best case scenario against them. Lets be ultra generous and say we can get 35. That would leave us needing, from the remaining 5 overs (presumably shared between Neesham and Ravindra), to need to take 44 from them to get to that 300, with every run the main three conceed fewer than that 35 needing to be made up from the other 5 overs.

And that's Root gone. Be lucky to get 260 now.

Jesus Root!

Scotty - where does Glenn fucking Phillips fit into your StatPack?

Oh FFS root - how is their reserve keeper straight bowling our best bat. 250 would be ambitious now, fuck.

Nick110581 · « **Reply #48 on:** October 5, 2023, 12:29:33 pm »

Going to need to bowl well here

I just checked - as I thought he was more a keeper in their domestic game - has bowled in 10 of his 20 matches in ODI cricket, averaging 4 overs if he does bowl, and taken 6 wickets before today - so it seems like they do seem him more as a Root/Livi style occasional bowler. Although in T20s, where he has played 63 matches, he has only bolwed in 8 matches.

The good news is their best bat, Kane Williamson, isn't playing, so that helps massively.

At least all 11 can hold a bat...though some of the shots today would suggest otherwise!

Just take the singles for a couple of overs and then go hell for leather and pray they get up towards 300

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #54 on:** October 5, 2023, 12:43:06 pm »

Woakes now throwing it away. Caught between two stools a bit but all a bit muddled.

No chance of that now

Be all out

Curran gone now too, soft dismissals makes it so much more frustrating. NZ are a great watch, so good.

CheshireDave · « **Reply #57 on:** October 5, 2023, 01:01:16 pm »

Around 270 isn't that bad on this ground. Definitely not a ground where 300+ is par.

Still hopeful England can win this one. That said, NZ are slight favourites at this point.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #58 on:** October 5, 2023, 01:05:44 pm »

Good effort from Rashid and Wood. Took it to the last over and had a go.

Not an awful score. 50 or so more than the last time we played them in a World Cup.

CheshireDave · « **Reply #59 on:** October 5, 2023, 01:06:12 pm »

50/50 now

Chakan · « **Reply #60 on:** October 5, 2023, 01:07:01 pm »

Defendable score in the end. NZ will be slight favorites at the moment.

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #61 on:** October 5, 2023, 01:07:31 pm »

Think if theres dew England could be in trouble here.

Dull Tools · « **Reply #62 on:** October 5, 2023, 01:49:10 pm »

Not really sure on Woakes outside of the UK. If he can't swing it he doesn't bring much. Lets hope he steps up.

Chakan · « **Reply #63 on:** October 5, 2023, 02:00:00 pm »

Woakes is all over the place.

CheshireDave · « **Reply #64 on:** October 5, 2023, 02:01:37 pm »

Lovely first over from Curran.

Kiwi opener has to Leave Right Now.

I think we need a wicket. Runs are leaking everywhere.

Apparently these 2 open the batting in club cricket. Shows how comfortable they are together.
