He's 30, which is a bit old than I had thought. But no reason why he shouldn't play for a good few years yet.

He’s 30, so probably one player who should feasibly be around in four years.

Mo is the least attacking bowler we've got. Almost never takes wickets any more in this format. Livingstone is the more attacking option as he can get wickets (and did).
They will today. Bairstow is a wounded tiger along with others.

NZ are going to lose on DLS. They're very vulnerable now.

Yeah, I do feel Australia’s chances really lie with Head and Warner. Get them early as we did today and you’re in the game.

Did he wear a “cornered tiger” tee shirt to the toss, which we are regularly told on this forum is World Cup winning, inspirational man management and innovative captaincy like the cricket world has never seen before or since 1992?

I was just thinking they could probably bat the overs out at 4rpo, add just 20, and still have a defendable target
the average total batting first in this tournament may be 286 but boosted by four totals of 399+ , 271 if you disregard those as irrelevant
What is England's average score batting second though?

Somewhere in the low 20s.

If Bairstow, Malan and/or Root don't get fifties or big fifties I don't fancy the chances of the 4-11 doing what they haven't all tournament, score a fifty, averaging 15 across the middle to lower order. they could in theory muster the runs by scoring lots of 20s - 40s, much may depend if they get off to a good start, if the aussies knock 1-2 over early then I doubt they'll bring on the weak bowling and let England off the hook
They need to clean up the tail first before thinking about chasing. They could've been chasing around 260 instead they are leaking runs to the tail enders.
