I think Ali would probably be the choice to open instead of Roy. He's a more classy batsman who's had some success opening for England.

NZ won the toss and bowling first.  Both sides unchanged.

I think Jamie Overton has more potential then his brother. He can bowl with real pace.

Looks like we'll be chasing a score in excess of 350 again

Maybe, but we're bowling pretty well at the moment.

Our catching really needs to improve. It might be 400+ at this rate.

Poor drops from both Buttler and Root. Not good enough.

How many yorkers have our bowlers attempted in this ODI series? Must be less than 5.

I know it's hard for inexperienced bowlers on flat pitches, but surely someone must have suggested a few yorkers at some point.

It's not just us, most bowlers seem to have abandoned them, mainly because if you get it wrong and throw a low full toss it's easy to go out of the ground, and if a batsman sees it coming and steps forward they can 'create' a full toss.  Get them right and they're horrible to defend though (Malinga is the anomoly, he bowls lots of them and they account for a fair number of his wickets).

Excellent bowking from Finn and Wood today. 350 is a realistic chase. Really encouraging to see Finn playing well again.
