*Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

[artvandalay]

Is it fair to say they are missing Jamiesons bowling? No frontline spinner and Southee also hasn't had the best of games.

 

[greg]

The draw percentage will likely be at 80% If one of Bairstow or stokes get out England will shut shop. Absolutely no doubt about that.

Not so sure. It's the sort of pitch where players like Stokes and Bairstow (one of whom would still be in) will score at close to the rate even if not trying to.

 

[sledger]

England basically only have one wicket left, so NZ probably fancy their chances

Yup, would go all out trying to get their wickets immediately after tea for that reason. Can't afford to sit back for sure, the less than full strength attack makes them vulnerable if this partnership goes deep.

 

[Uppercut]

Is there a rule that NZ have to bowl all 38 overs, however long it takes? Usually the light would close in, but it's sunny and we get very long days in June.

Yeah you have to bowl them all on the last day.

 

[Moss]

Played Bairstow, this keeps things interesting. Though again, why NZ have bowled short/wide to him is a mystery.

 

[nzfan]

Bairstow pulled every short ball, bound to mishit one.

 

[nzfan]

This is the best time to bowl Bracewell. No point bringing him on when there's under 100 to go.

 

[91Jmay]

These two need another ton at least

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The partnership is going at over 6 an over...easily this can be amped up

 

[artvandalay]

Damn 6 down the ground. bairstow is in ipl mode.

 

[Moss]

NZ haven't played like a team that had 200 more to defend when these two got together. Still, thrilling partnership.

 

[Daemon]

Man NZ really needed KJ here.

BMac gets a bit of credit if they win here idc what you ***** say.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah unless the weather closes in light ain't going to be an issue this close to the longest day.

Hopefully I'll catch some when I get home but the way it's going it might have finished before I make it

 

[cnerd123]

Bowl Mitchell

 

[Moss]

Okay, definitely a test for Latham's captaincy under pressure here.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well this is something

 

[Uppercut]

Man NZ really needed KJ here.

BMac gets a bit of credit if they win here idc what you ****s say.

I want it to happen just to stick it to Gavin from Dorset.

 

[Daemon]

42 runs in 2.5 overs. Literally better than India is managing in the t20.

Outrageous batting.
