England have 10% of the runs and NZ have 10% of the wickets after 10% of the overs.

Could be very tight this.

This is in the bag, well done England

Well played

NZ deserved that wicket, important innings from Root now. Need to just hang in there for a few overs.

this is some good bowling.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #4084 on:** July 14, 2019, 03:46:47 pm »

That’s a ridiculous delivery.

this is some good bowling.

Going to have to look to bowlers four and five to up the rate, just see these two off with minimal damage.

Kekule · « **Reply #4086 on:** July 14, 2019, 03:48:48 pm »

Michael Clarke incredulously “How’s he not edged that?!”

Now he knows he England fans feel watching Steve Smith bat in English conditions.

I don’t understand how it works but that win predictor is silly.

This is like one of those old fashioned ODIs. Tense. Lowish scoring.

Yeah, doesn't take into account conditions.

No caught and bowled chance is easy, but that's about as easy as they come!

Kekule · « **Reply #4090 on:** July 14, 2019, 03:57:52 pm »

The big man’s dibbly-dobblers just daring Bairstow into making a mistake.

...and it nearly works. Shouldn’t be shelling those.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #4091 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:02:58 pm »

Got to score off the medium pace because Lockie Ferguson hasn’t bowled a ball yet and he’s one of the highest wicket takers. 90 odd miles an hour won’t be easy on here.

Michael Clarke needs to chill out

It’s like England have done something to upset him recently.

BIG New Zealand fan apparently.

hard work scoring runs.

RobbieRedman · « **Reply #4096 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:16:16 pm »

England need 183 runs from 204 balls

Kekule · « **Reply #4097 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:17:43 pm »

Idiotic from Root.

If NZ can keep this up for another few overs England will throw their wickets away. Stokes might show patience, but Bairstow, Morgan and Butler et al will be throwing the bat at it and following Root back to the hutch.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #4098 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:17:47 pm »

for fuck's sake.

such an england thing to do to fuck it up at the last hurdle at home.

El Lobo · « **Reply #4099 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:18:07 pm »

Rancid from Root

Need an innings from Morgan

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #4100 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:18:51 pm »

Two shots in a row you would not expect from Root.

Just need one partnership...

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #4101 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:19:32 pm »

Should let the others do that. Hang around and bat the overs. The others are a bit gung ho, very much in the balance now.

Frank Becton · « **Reply #4102 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:19:58 pm »

Fucks sake Root - awful shot, no need for that at all, plenty of time left.

JovaJova · « **Reply #4103 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:20:11 pm »

That was a truly awful innings front Root. Probably better off with him out.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #4104 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:22:53 pm »

Big challenge here... need to try and hurdle a run a ball to get the score board ticking over

Dull Tools · « **Reply #4105 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:28:23 pm »

Never seen Root play like that. Must be pressure.

After the first swipe I thought he would calm down but then he does it again next ball.

Kekule · « **Reply #4106 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:28:31 pm »

de Grandhomme ought to have 3-10. England have no idea what to do.

Robinred · « **Reply #4107 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:28:41 pm »

It’s one of those sporting conundrums though. It’s all about staying positive for England and attacking, but out there in the middle you also need to adapt to the conditions and bowling to some extent. It’s what is so challenging about the big matches in any sport

for fuck's sake. we're never winning this fucking trophy.

Tricky this.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #4113 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:33:06 pm »

Stokes has a chance to be the hero after that final over in the T20 final.

King Kenny 7 · « **Reply #4114 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:33:21 pm »

Gonna have to dig deep to stay in this.

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #4115 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:33:48 pm »

Big trouble now.

Still think they will win if they get through the 50 overs.

koptommy93 · « **Reply #4116 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:34:26 pm »

Not going to happen this is it?

lapapa · « **Reply #4117 on:** July 14, 2019, 04:38:05 pm »

why are people rooting for an England win when it's cricket but not football?

I'm supporting NZ all the way

Ian Austin bowling well here.

I saw Woakes get a century on here last year.
