    191-7. Good batting all round. Root the stand out player. Billings did well.

    I think that'll take some beating & I'll back England to win by less than 20 runs.

    Listening to Jos Buttler being interviewed after - it really seems as though the team now is really a good bunch of mates who are prepared to try anything - such a different metality from 3 months ago - so refreshing.
    KP who?
  • Jesus, what a ball.

    That has swung an absolute mile, late swing as well.

    34-1 3 overs.

    We REALLY need to get McCallum out.
  • 34 from 12 so far for McCullum.
  • Get in, Wood bowls him!

    McCullum gives himself room, Wood follows him with a Yorker and McCullum gets a huge edge but he's so far towards leg side that it still cannons in to off stump.

    Massive wicket.

    When we play like that, winning or losing doesn't matter as much. great we won the one day series and that game though all the same. New Zealand deserve a lot of credit for how they play the game - hard to see them as losers really. It is truly fantastic how England have embraced (in the one day game anyway) what cricket now is. It has taken English cricket far too long to get there and the people responsible should be ashamed of themselves. Even if we get thrashed by the Aussies playing this way - it is the way forwards and the only way to be successful.

    I completely agree. It would be great to see Charlton play with the same positivity as the English cricket team.
