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.
 
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.
 
Some fortune from Rashid and Plunkett pushing the total up. The pitch is gonna be a bitch to bat on 2nd
 
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
 
I didnt realise that NZ hadn't scored 300 yet.
Yes a couple of early wickets including Williamson would do very nicely!
 
16 for 2. Brilliant catch by Buttler.
England really should do it from.this position but Williamson and Taylor now together.
 
timely wicket that... couple more quick wickets as well as keeping the kiwis squeezed with accurate , miserly bowling be good

16 overs gone 68-3.... aim is 238 for NZ
