CWC 19: England V New Zealand

I tire of all this talk of 'this is a 350+ wicket' and pundits and fans making bold predictions after 10 overs. The beauty of the one-day game is the changing fortunes. England got off to a flier and have been pegged back by wickets. Vaughan says the pitch is changing. Maybe a bit of that but like so many sports having a set rhythm will yield the best results. NZ have disrupted that and England's scoring has slowed.

It's the same as the India v Bangladesh game yesterday. India were on for a massive score and were ably pegged back.
 
better late ( ought to have been 5-6 overs ago!)than never ... 250 up
 
Woakes out trying to biff. This pitch needs a slow and steady total building from now on. No point in wasting wickets
 
Nassar has just suggested that the pitch appears to be slowing and with the old ball it is difficult to score. So Engkand appear to have decided that 300 is a decent score.
Morgan 30 in 34 balls is holding together the end part of the innings

By that logic though teams would never score 350-400 in one day games though and, recently, they do. In the same way teams can lose a load of wickets and fans and pundits worry they’ll be bowled out for a low score, and then they turn it round. You can only comment on what’s happening in front of you at the time, obviously things can change. I’ve seen formula one drivers win pole easily, lead all race and then make a mistake in the last lap and not win the race, doesn’t stop people talking about how they’re going to win easily etc before that happens.
 
Woakes goes for 4 ...oh dear ...5 overs left ...259-6 ... 300 may now be too much of an ask?
 
Very good over. Interestingly it was off Boult where the ball comes quicker onto the bat.
Morgan OUT.
Oh dear
 
bollox ... just when the runs were starting to flow too ...272-7 one ball into the 46th over :(
 
275 up .... must bat the entire 50 and keep the scoreboard ticking along
 
18 balls left ... Id take another 20-25 runs (or more) from them
 
Some fortune from Rashid and Plunkett pushing the total up. The pitch is gonna be a bitch to bat on 2nd
 
299-7 .... last over to go .... 10-12 runs off them would be ideal
 
300 up ... cmon England couple of 4s and 6s please
 
phew! reaching just over 300 proved to be a real mission... as was batting the entire50 overs.... final total 305-8 ....hope that 305 is too much for NZ to chase & is enough to see England through to the semi finals


hope those middle order wobbles dont prove costly
