Next target. Get the score down to do double figures and assess from there.

Yeah, both of these are capable of turning the pressure onto NZ, just need them to stick it out. Pressure in a final can be a weird thing.

Outstanding figures for de Grandhomme. 

[Captain Howdy]

Grandhomme reminds me of Cantona

[Bjornebye]

Nice of Robert Wuhl to be fielding for New Zealand

It should have been the approach from the start. Get it down to 200 and so on. Need a couple of big overs but the hard work should and still needs to be done between the wickets.

Here’s hoping, it’s not happening though

We're still in this.  Nice little partnership building.

Indeed, anything can happen in the last 10 overs if you have wickets in hand a RR under 9 to chase.

If they get over the line, don't be claiming some sort of TLW anti jinxing, hocus pocus, voodoo shit.

[Jairzinho]

Think we win this.

Carry on now. Pinch singles and 2s and wait for the bad ball.

 

Chip away. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

This is the type of partnership we needed a while back. Still in this, pressure will mount on the bowlers as well. 

[Dougie Do'ins]

And don't do anything stupid.

[TheBitch]

It's back in the balance isn't it.

[Pureblood]

Get to 200 with wickets in hand and it's on.

No. I think we're ahead of the game.

[Pureblood]

Down leg side for me, Clive.

[TheBitch]

FFS.

 

This is close.

 

Possibly sliding down but it's close.

[Dougie Do'ins]

Umpire looked certain.
