Sweet final batting at this rate bareky make 290

 

[Gnske]

I do hope Wood doesn't get mishandled like Finn and others, he can be a real menace if he's handled gently.

 

[Moss]

Good effort Wood

 

[JediNudist]

Elliot really is putting the brakes.Either hit boundaries or get out trying

 

[JediNudist]

16 of 27 isnt good enough

 

[King Pietersen]

This series already holds the record for most runs in a 4-match series with an innings and a bit to play. The current total of 2222 means they're 700 odd short of the record 5-match series total, and say we get to 2600, the series will be ranked 18th in terms of runs scored in a 4 or 5 match series, and 1st in terms of run rate. Pretty impressive scoring.

Nice commentators curse from Ian Smith. Kane gone at last.

 

[Spark]

Really, really not sure what Elliot is trying to achieve here.

 

[King Pietersen]

With Finn and Wood bowled out, who bowls at the death? 8 overs left, Stokes and Willey only have 5 between them. Not sure I fancy spin right now, and feel like we're going to get tonked!

No idea either.Its as if he is trying ti conserve his wicket and work the singles !!!

 

[Pothas]

Root...

 

[Spark]

Haha, glorious beamer.

Is this pitch slowing up? Odd how many shots have been mistimed in the last few overs.

Batting outside off? Youtube him and andy ellis. Worth a watch.

 

[King Pietersen]

Beamer, beamer, half volley, wicket. Willey has graduated from the Dernbach school of death bowling.

 

[JediNudist]

Oh ffs NZ really lost their way.Should get 320 , 330 but i think its a 350 pitch but not getting that now

 

[CaptainGrumpy]

Should have promoted 6outhee

Only if Stokes can be persuaded not to send down so many wides and they can actually reach the ball.

Rashid may not be the worst bet against their lower order, especially if Elliott goes.

 

[JediNudist]

Cmon Elliot smash em

 

[Spark]

That is the classic modern bats six.

 

[King Pietersen]

We were looking good when Wood and Finn were bowling, but since those 2 finish, it's been rubbish stuff.

 

[Spark]

Willey really does just look like a worse version of James Faulkner to me.
