    Rance getting a bit of treatment. Looks to be lacking a yard of pace to me.

    Bennett getting the ball through, though - asking more questions. He looks a bit like a right arm Richard Collinge!

    @Chris-B.
    Seth confirms the fact that there's a mile of distance between good domestic and international cricketer

    Nice call on Bennett - huge run up too

    Ball ain't swinging at all. Coney commentating - always pleasant I reckon

    @Siam Yeah - we could be in a fair bit of trouble in this game. - though as I type, Neesh gets the breakthrough.

    Yeah - there's something about Coney's commentary - very smooth... mellifluous!

    Unlike Owais Shah - with that grating "see if I can sound thicker than I am" Essex sort of accent.

    And Santner gets the second one quickly. I can't now see this because rain fade is back.

    Worst ever evening for that! It's pissing down!

    Quite good having this series on as it gives me something (albeit not very exciting) to follow while working up this way.

    We've been set 258 to win. Ronchi looking to hit out again (which is good) and a 4 and 6 off first two balls he faced

    Rain forecast soon so not sure they will get 20 overs in

    A narrow points victory to Tom Latham over Ronchi in this game. Tom scored more runs, but Luke got his faster and gave the innings some initial impetus (and Luke is wearing the gloves, while Tom is not - though he is captain).

    Otherwise, Broom and Neesham both doing good jobs with the bat and Bennett, Santner and Sodhi doing good jobs with the ball - Rance and Neesham both very expensive.

    Latham with a ton, thanks to the Irish bowler overstepping when Latham was caught on 90ish..

    Seems to have won the battle against Ronchi.. hopefully Latham keeps in the odis..

    Anderson is struggling out in the middle.. seems like he's trying too hard

    Yeah - that's a convincing win for Tom.

    Ronchi has done quite well in the BMac role of coming out and giving the innings impetus, but notably he hasn't managed to go on with any of his innings and we're playing Ireland and the Bangles not England and Australia.

    Anderson looked terribly out of form - I'm not convinced he's a guy who can come out and hit from ball one in any case. He seems to need a few overs to have a look and scratch about. Rossco looked a bit scratchy as well.

    Munro showed Corey how it's done in this innings.

    I guess there's a couple more ODIs to play before the CT but I'd lean towards:

    Guptill, Latham, Williamson, Taylor, Broom, Neesham, Santner, Milne, Southee, McClenaghan, Boult

    Slightly light in batting - I blame Southee who could have developed into a decent and reliable 8, but hasn't.

    I don't think this line-up will be quite good enough to win the Trophy -but, they might be able to burgle it. Will need some luck and most likely Kane and Guppy to play multiple big innings at the right time.

    Final game of this series.

    Bennett, Neesham and Jeetan come in for Kuggelijn, Milne and Sodhi (I think?).

    NZ will bat, so a chance to see whether Ronchi can put more pressure on Latham and whether Anderson can show some form.

    And Tom Latham sees out an eventful first over that started with a wide, a wide that wasn't called, a reasonable lbw shout, an easy dropped catch, and a boundary...

    Tom gets most of the early strike and gets away quickly to 20*.

    Ronchi finally gets strike and is out for 2 - caught off a mistimed shot again.

    Lathams run of scores on this tour -

    52, 15, 54, 104, 52* (so far today)

    I'd argue in a team with Guppy, Anderson, Taylor & Neesham who all capable of smashing it he looks the right bet at the top. Also he's not 40.

    @gollum Yeah - I think the key thing for Tom will be not to bat himself into any sort of hole. No matter how good the bowling he needs to play some shots.

    Might be a temptation - with the team I named above - to replace one of the seamers with Anderson and require him and Neesham to bowl 10 overs between them (maybe Kane to bowl a few as well).

    If Corey can find some form, that would strengthen the batting quite a lot - Neesham at 7 and Santner at 8.

    @Chris-B.

    Yip, totally agree, he just needs that mindset that if we are 70 / 0 & he's not timing hit have a slog, best case he hits a few, worst case he steps aside for Kane. Otherwise his role is to just go at 85% strike rate, not get out & take singles to get the other guy on strike.

    Tom gets bowled for 84, in a pretty dribbly fashion - rebounds off the back pad onto the front leg and back onto the stumps.

    In terms of the game situation, this is ideal for Anderson - coming in at 167/3 after 30 overs. He can take a little bit of time to get in and then hopefully find some form and confidence and smack it around.

    I left this when Anderson went out and we were cruising at 210/4 just short of 40 overs.

    Neesham, Santner and Munro somehow seem to have conspired to reduce us to 228/7 and we've ended up 30-40 runs short of where we should have.

    Looks like none of our bowlers covered themselves in glory - the Anderson-Neesham combo were particularly ineffectual and probably bring CdGh into contention by dint of not playing.

    Piss poor final 60 overs!

    Anderson did at least look a lot more fluent in making his 24. Good efforts by Latham, Rossco and Broom.

    Somewhat ominously, England dealt to South Africa in no uncertain terms.

    Notable that they were somewhat similarly placed to us after 40 overs, but their guys did the required job - adding 100 off the final 10 overs, while our guys folded like cheap suits.
