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

This im not sure what people expect

 

[Boo]

Reassuring to see Bairstow sprint and dive.

 

[stephen cartwright]

Rashid won’t swing it travelling?

It’s easing as it’s drying

 

[chopsfc007]

NZ to be 3 down for less than 60

Classic

 

[JohnSmithUK]

And again, good hustle.

 

[SAFC11]

Wood bowling too wide
And too short

 

[Herberthall]

NZ on top at present

 

[Dexter]

Change bowlers been poor so far. Lengths arl ower the shop.

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

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.

 

[Herberthall]

Good start from NZ. Our bowling, apart from Woakes, has been average so far.

Archer bowled well

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.

 

[zebediah]

Not sure how they think the first phase was a draw?

 

[OohBaldyBally]

Archer bowled well

He bowled ok

 

[stephen cartwright]

Williamson 28 off 47

Nicholls 43 off 62

98 for 1 off 21

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.

They won’t be getting 300

 

[Boo]

The strategy has been obvious but good, from NZ. Just wait for the lesser bowlers to come on.

 

[FatDrummer]

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?.....

 

[mackembhoy]

I hate everything about Lords. Pitches are poor, never an exciting game here and the atmosphere is always flat. Would much rather see the final somewhere more exciting like Edgbaston or Old Trafford or Trent Bridge personally

Edgbaston is always excellent should be there

But bloody tradition

 

[TravellingMackem]

Not sure how they think the first phase was a draw?

Think it’s more a flaw in the system they use. I’d suggest we edged it but wasn’t a definitive “win” really. Could argue given the swing they did well not to lose more wickets as well

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?

12in a row there isn't it
