this could be a close game... though NZ probably favourites

 

[Sarge]

NZ bat first .... Guptill out lbw first ball

 

[Sarge]

Blimey! what a first over two wickets ... and NZ run 4 inbetween wickets falling

NZ 10-2 after one over

 

[Sarge]

Cotterell bowls a maiden in the 3rd over ... 14-2 after 3 overs .... this could be an interesting match too?

 

[Sarge]

Windies bowling well early on.... NZ 28-2 after 9 overs

 

[Foley]

It's good to see the games not going completely to form.
Could be 2 good games today (although India could roll over Afghanistan)

It’s looking like Afghanistan rolling India over at the moment. I never saw it coming! Mind you it ain’t over yet.

 

[Sarge]

Nz 76-2 after 19 overs ... NZ steadied themselves after an amazing/ embarrassing (for their openers) first over

 

[Sarge]

Taylor and Williamson both have reached 50 apiece

NZ 112 -2 after 25 overs

 

[Sarge]

Kiwis notch up 150

 

[Paul Cannell]

Didn't realise this was on. B*****s.

I see Roach is playing. Seems a shame to save your best bowler till you're out. Anyway, which selector is Carlos Brathwaite's dad? That is the question.

 

[Sarge]

Williamson looking likely to get a century... he's on 91 from 110 deliveries

 

[Paul Cannell]

Bollocks is hardly fucking swearing.

 

[Sarge]

B*****s is hardly f*****g swearing.

agreed ... wast there a test court case in the latter 70s that proved it too?

 

[Paul Cannell]

Yes. And Gayle Force has accounted for one of the pasty colonials ?

 

[Sarge]

183-3 ... Taylor went for 69 ... 12 overs left

 

[Sarge]

NZ reach 200 .... 206-3 ... 9 overs left

Latham had an interesting reverse sweep attempt , using the back of his bat!

 

[Sarge]

'wheres the fire?' ...Windies have taken a leisurely 3 hours to bowl 40 overs

8 overs left of the innings, NZ 210-4 .... Cotterell's 3rd wicket , Latham gone for 12

 

[Sarge]

close call that for Williamson ... after review , not out

 

[Sarge]

NZ 228-4 ...6 overs left to go
