Good tidy bowling from Plunkett there.

[PaulWinch again]

Good fielding in the inner ring.

The sun coming out, hopefully negating the swing of the ball slightly later on.

[PaulWinch again]

Fingers crossed.

[PaulWinch again]

Big wicket. My gut feel was it was missing.

[Risso]

Got 'im! Looked a bit high in truth, above the knee roll.

[PaulWinch again]

This pitch looks tricky.

[Steve67]

We are choking them.  Keep it up.  First boundary for a while there!

That's poor really.  Having the technology available and letting a howler like that stand.  It's a World Cup final ffs.

[PaulWinch again]

Poor from Stokes. Neesham is a dangerous player.

Yes it's a bit odd that cricket, a game well suited to breaks where decisions can be easily reviewed, severely limits the number of times it can be used.  Football on the other hand, a game which is much more free-flowing, uses VAR all the time.

[Steve67]

This the key partnership now for the NZ because another man coming in will need a bit of time to get going.  These two have to take risks so I hope we don't start bowling half way down the wicket. 

[PaulWinch again]

Needed that.

[Risso]

Out!

[Villan For Life]

Great variations from Plunkett but Neesham gifted that wicket. Still I will take as many as I can get!
