    England unchanged - NZ win toss and bat.

    Good. Bearing in mind the possible rain interuptions later, I think they made the wrong call.

    Batting 2nd we can adjust ourselves, knowing our possibly changing targets & NZ will have to bowl with a wet ball.

    (NZ will now score more than 400 & totally thrash us).
    NZ end up with 398-5

    Let me say it now, but England will either win or get beat by 200 runs !
    However, i am gonna err on the latter coz i cant see NZ's bowling being as shite as Englands today - it was crap of the highest order, full-tosses,wides,noballs galore- our bowling really does look bereft.

    Jordan went for 3 runs an over more than the next most expensive bowler.

    I can't see us getting 399. I reckon we'll get about 350. But you never know.

    Because Morgan has not got a clue. He's just a Strauss cronie.

    Roy hasnt impressed me - a slogger. We definitely need to bring back Ballance to steady the innings.

    I'm thinking the same. It's just all slogging & now Roy's out for 39 off 37 !

    Bring back Cook, Bell, Trott & Ballance. Let's play some proper cricket :-)

    86-1 off 12.4

    18 off Jordans over - he's running at circa 9 an over, i've always said it , but he doesnt have 'it' - incredible slip fielder , but just a dobba bowler and no batting.

    I have to agree, i know you shouldn't change a winning team but i would have played Willey, more variety and a better batsman.

    Morgan is absolutely taking the bowling apart right now.

    247-4, 30 overs.

    ENG are 241-4 after 30 overs.

    Absolutely. 77 from 37 balls as it stands. Not often that Jos Buttler takes a back seat while his batting partner forces the issue!

    Well, they say double the score after 30 overs is a good guide.
    NZ were 210-2 after 30.
    England are 241-4 off 30 !!
    Could be close - especially if these two stay together for another 10 overs.

    249-4, 31 overs

    We can look at it now as 150 required from 19 overs as if it's a T20 match and with 5 overs of powerplay still to come.

    I was keeping quiet. If I had commented, one of them would have been out next ball.

    Superb partnership between Buttler & Morgan.

    126 needed from 90 balls. Here comes five overs of powerplay... they usually bring wickets.

    I said they usually bring wickets. Second ball of the powerplay and Morgan gone for 88.
