The easier batting gets for them, the easier it will likely be for us. It will all come down to how Bairstow and Roy see off the initial spell, good platform we win or get close, one or two out early it will be difficult.

Ominous is surely the wrong word, they have been steady nothing else, and even if they score another 200 in the remaining overs will be below 300 which is well in England's range

Not sure 300 will be easy on this wicket. Plus added pressure of chasing in a WC final. Couple of wickets and we're right on top but not sure where that would come from. Only Woakes had bowled well.
 
Williamson 28 off 47

Nicholls 43 off 62

98 for 1 off 21

They won’t be getting 300
 
Very well balanced right now.
Batting does look easier, but is that down to some pretty average bowling over the last 10 overs or so?.....

Agreed wickets looking unlikely, but wicket is playing asboutely fine, now the early damp overhead conditions have gone.

Any score they get from here fancy us, why wouldn't we looking at our line up?
