    I know England have bowled well but NZ haven't helped themselves. They don't seem able to put their foot to the floor to move along quickly.
    My wish for the toss was that England would bat first and shove the score along apace. I imagine most fans would have wanted that, but the purists would probably have it the way it has turned out.
    Let's see how we react to the chase.

    England should have balled better giving away 30 extras is not good no matter who the opposition is.

    It's going to be about bottle and handling the pressure from now on. Our bowlers did very well
    all going for under five an over apart from Stokes who uncharacteristically didn't match
    his usual performance. We've got to get off to a good start now. It's going to be interesting to see
    how it ends up.

    241 isn't a bad total. It will make the England innings very interesting.

    We could knock these off in singles but we won't do it that way. That could be our downfall.

    hope all the pundits moaning about slow pitch are wrong, roy & jb 100/0 after 20 will do nice again
    not been a swashbuckling NZ performance, but it's become their norm in this tournament, they excellent in the field though

    First cricket game I've watched and I just could not get into it. The game does nothing for me. Found it quite boring.
    Hopefully the second half will be more exciting with a bit more action.

    basically if umpire gave him out, he would have gone, but he didn't so umpires original call stands

    50% of ball / 50% of wicket. We got lucky with the umpires decision.

    was probably 51/49 in our favour, who'd be an umpire!

    This also is to take the accuracy of the technology of ball tracking into consideration too as it's not 100% accurate.

    18 avoidable extras, NZ already had 9 so will probably be equal by the end, can't decide if they batted better or are bowling better.......86/4 as i type
