Ball softening? Pitch slowing? Whatever it is we're not picking this good bowling at all.
At least it's showing there's something in it for our bowlers in a bit.

They probably don't have the batting to chase this anywayPitch has slowed down significantly. NZ won't get anywhere close.
Taylor will be critical. For all the talk of his great ODI record over past few years he needs to deliver in crunch situations for it to count.They probably don't have the batting to chase this anyway
One man batting lineup. They're capable of chasing 240-250 with Kane anchoring the innings. Anything above that is way beyond their reach.They probably don't have the batting to chase this anyway
Yeah I would say so, Williamson has seen NZ over the line couple of times now chasing and this target isn't so daunting. This is nervy stuff from England considering where they were.Is there hope for Pakistan yet?
No it just looks like it has slowed up ALOTCan’t watch it. Is the pitch genuinely doing something?
Slower balls and cutters seem to be sticking in the pitch and it looks like it's slow once the ball is old.Can’t watch it. Is the pitch genuinely doing something?
Nah it's Bairstow, top batting AND whining.Southee has been England's best player today.
I can just imagine the disapointment for Pakistan fans like me when we lose with a whimper to Bangladesh after NZ manage to win today.Yeah I would say so, Williamson has seen NZ over the line couple of times now chasing and this target isn't so daunting. This is nervy stuff from England considering where they were.
My take on the situation also.I think England have done enough. The only way NZ can chase this is if they go very hard against the new ball. But their openers are so out of form. Once the gets old it will just be cutters and cross seam from England and that should be the game.
I don't disagree, but let's just see how NZ deal with the old ball on this wicket.305. I think NZ should be happy with that given where Eng were after 30 over mark - 194. Poor by England to score just 111 in last 20 overs.
Agree, they let it slip in the last 20, they need to bowl well.305. I think NZ should be happy with that given where Eng were after 30 over mark - 194. Poor by England to score just 111 in last 20 overs.
Baffling they didn't. At worse that's going to be umpires callPoor decision not to review.
Exactly what I was thinking, it was quite high.Baffling they didn't. At worse that's going to be umpires call
