[TeWaio]

<p>Going great guns now 78/1 off 9</p>

[Milk]

<p>Yeah, boys have their eye in at the moment.</p>

[TeWaio]

<p>89 off 10, 1 down, Munro and KW set. Could be 200 from here.</p>

[Milk]

<p>Williamson gone for 32</p>

[Glath]

<p>Damn. And still another 3 overs of Ali to come after this.</p>

[Milk]

<p>Munro gone for 46</p>

[Hooroo]

Well! Aren't I the fucking jinx. First game I've watched and even then only turned on to watch Munro get out and it's been a disaster since

[TeWaio]

<p>two Stokes full tosses in a row get wickets. Slipping away now.</p>

[Hooroo]

The good thing is, they are getting out to bloody good balls......

[Matt]

<p>to slow in the middle and batting fail at the end, England have bowled really well</p>

[canefan]

We failed to capitalise on a good start. It's up to the bowlers now

[TeWaio]

<p>17/5 in the last 4 overs :(</p>

[Catogrande]

<p>So far a good claw-back from England after a bloody good start from NZ, although far from over just yet. I don't agree with TeWaio's view that this England side are mentally fragile, more that they're just not that good. Their chase v South Africa showed some bottle and in a different way scraping past the Bangles (Edit: D'oh! Afghans) after being rubbish showed a bit too. The issue with England I think is that the seam bowling is a bit samey and the spinners are not top drawer either. All the bowlers are OK but that's it really and as a unit if things aren't conducive there is little in the way of an option B.</p>

[No Quarter]

Fuck me what a limp finish. With the platform Munro and Kane laid 180 should have been minimum. Stokes dishing up juicy full tosses and all we can fo is sky catches - frustrating.<br><br>
Still, we have runs on the board so it is up to our bowlers to strangle the life out of them, which has been the blue print all tournament. Though I fear this pitch is a lot quicker them what we've been playing on, and the English batsmen have had plenty of practise on it. Will take a huge effort to win this now.

[gollum]

<p>We should have been opening with spin, Hales & Roy are not the guys you want to bowl medium quick at & equally you don't want to bowl spin at Morga & Root</p>
