England playing it nicely now.

Have to wonder why they bothered selecting Bracewell if Taylor isn't going to bowl him at all.

Cos it he doesn't screw up the batting order by batting ahead of Franko

RRR is still climbing though. Lose either of these and England are struggling, especially if Bairstow still can't get the thing away.

So would this be the second game this tournament that New Zealand have selected a specialist bowler and hardly bowled him?

How good a fielder is Bracewell?

 

[Hurricane]

great batting that over.

 

[Bahnz]

This is looking all over.

Taylor really doesn't inspire much confidence as a captain when he doesn't bowl a single over with one of his specialists.

 

[Hurricane]

Need a great catch.

 

[_Ed_]

Oh dear. That was massive.

 

[BeeGee]

Spanked.

 

[James]

Haha yeah, fair enough.

 

[Hurricane]

Take Southee off.

 

[straw man]

Southee struggling. Time to kick the stumps in his delivery stride

 

[Hurricane]

A dot ball !

 

[Cabinet96]

Lukey

 

[Hurricane]

That six was telling.

Edit those sixes killed us.

 

[_Ed_]

Whoa.

 

[BeeGee]

Wow. That's some hitting.

 

[James]

Far out Southee

 

[straw man]

ouch. yep, all but all over here, which means we're almost out of the tournament.

Two half-volleys that over from Southee - not hitting length today.

 

[Bahnz]

Vettori has 1 Southee 2 and Mills 1. Who's going to bowl the other?

Having said that, if Southee keeps this up, England will only need 4.
