It wouldn’t be any kind of spectacle if they didn’t set a decent target on what is a decent pitch. Atmospherics possibly favour the bowling side early on at Lords.

Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted July 14, 2019 What a spell by Plunkett. They'll do well to get 250 from here... one or two more wickets will really turn the screw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,544 Posted July 14, 2019 Do they play the Christoph Zimmerman song every time a wicket falls? I hadn’t noticed until just now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,544 Posted July 14, 2019 Chasing 243-it’s ours to lose although NZ bowlers will try to bowl in a similar way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzar 1,702 Posted July 14, 2019 So, chasing 242 in what's been a pretty low scoring World Cup. Very doable, but we'll have to be careful against a very skilful new ball attack at a venue we haven't always done well at. I'd have our win percentage at cicra 65% plus though.

No hurry at all with the batting we've got to come, just keep nudging and nurdling. If they bowl anything rank, give it a biff. Only wickets can lose this for us now.

Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted July 14, 2019 NZ are doing great. Still in charge though, we've got Morgan, Stokes, Buttler, Woakes, Plunkett, Rashid, Archer and Wood still to bat. We'll be okay, batting all the way down and someone will stick around. Don't have to worry about the run rate for now either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
