Most of them will turn up at Wimbledon later 

Lords and Wimbledon. A veritable cunt off.

Excruciating commentary. Fucking hell.

I had to laugh when they were saying Stokes had pulled a calf based on the fact he felt his leg. Especially when he ran perfectly for the next ball that came his way. 

[Pureblood]

Come on Rashid.

Yes, followed by a conversation about wins based on which dressing room you're in.

 

They should be made to listen to Benaud. If you've got fuck all to say be quiet.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Important phase now.

I get the feeling all the neutral commentators want NZ to win, nothing against that, that is up to them, but they are chatting bollocks. 

[Jairzinho]

We need wickets. NZ will be happy enough to plod along at 4.5/5 an over and set it up for the last 15.

Yeah, just milked that first over off Rashid.

I just find the shorter the format of the game the worse the commentary team.

Don't worry, a couple of wickets and they'll forget what they were previously saying as they change tact.

That really concerned me. It was effortless. Nobody apart from Woakes has held an end up.

I'd be tempted to take Rashid out of the attack until we get another wicket. These two are set and although Rashid is a wicket taking bowler he is expensive at times, plus this wicket is not helping him as of yet. Just cheap runs at the moment.

Fuck sake, get TK on.

I don't see where the next wicket is coming from. 

[Stickman]

Have to say this is  looking pretty comfortable for New Zealan at the moment the game is just meandering along .

Nicholls has reached his average, so hopefully he makes a mistake.

We're setting a "meander along at will" field as well. It's like we've decided we're fine for them to get 270/280.

Either the Pavilion End or the Nursery End.

[Pureblood]

Keep Rashid on for two more.  No point bowling a leggie for two overs, it takes a little while to get rhythm and big revs. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Hopefully Stokes into the attack instead of Rashid. I'd also be tempted to bring Archer back for one or two overs. Need to break this partnership up.

Which will be enough to win

Nothing in the wicket for him though, basically hoping for a mistake, these two are set though and just happy to milk the bowling atm.

I think we'd either get it in 35 overs or be bowled out for 200.

[Captain Howdy]

Yeah, a final and scoreboard pressure would bring about the latter imo
