New Zealand won't give in easily.theyll have seen Sri Lanka match when they gave England a hell of a beating.Get Roy out early there priority.
Tennis final on same time...grrrr |

Yes scheduling is a nightmare today. NZ are a great side and I'm not so sure we are the clear favourites everyone thinks we are. Bowl first, restrict them to 250 and then a nervy chase |

Yes I'm happy we are batting first. I think it will swing a bit first up. If we get a couple early on including Williamson it will be massive |

"Nz win toss..bat 1st.. thought theyd have bowled 1st"
i think whoever would have won the toss would have batted 1st..... but i do believe that england are actually better chasing....
if new zealand can score 270... i think it will be an interested chase |

I don't really know if it is a bad toss to lose to be honest.
The conditions look like they could favour Archer and Wood. Equally they could have favoured Fergus on and Boult.
If Roy and Bairstow set us a platform we have the mental edge. |

"Just for information the match is on Channel 4 live"
if you are watching it on "free to air" channel 4... it will stay there till 1.30 when they shift to the British GP
after 1.30 the "free to air" coverage will shift to More 4... till the Motor Racing finishes at about 4.... then the coverage will shift back to channel 4..... |

"As I said above Cricket is not my cup of tea but I'm watching and hoping they can do it, but I don't understand it. Have we got a chance? Genuine question xx Ali "
If anything, it looks to me that the game is slipping away from England. If their target was approximately one run per ball to wrap it up in comfort then they're well behind that. |
