Lord's breaks into polite applause at the fall of the crucial wicket there.

It really is crazy the difference in mood compared to Edgbaston. Tension not helping, the semi went pretty much our way from start to finish.

Ross Taylor will be steady and build an innings, run rate should go down for a few overs

It's far more of a mixed crowd here, too, probs...

Wasn't meant to be a dig - they are the biggest supporters so fair play to them.

No worries mate, I think I misread ur post...

[Chiltern Fox]

Doesn't help that a lot of fans couldn't get tickets because it's far more important for people like Theresa May and Piers Morgan to be in attendance.

Sounds eerily similar to the football...

Score guesses for NZ? I think 258.

If no wickets by 40, 279.

 

Edit: ignore me.

That’s high 

[ScouseFox]

be over as a contest by the time the tennis starts, decent 

[StanSP]

Another big wicket. 

 

Taylor can hit hard once he gets set but not today. 

 

Big chance for England to win this now. Good performance so far! 

[RowlattsFox]

Would be reviewing that, big call from the umpire. Would have been easy for him to say not out and let England review.  

[wardyfox86]

Poor call. Its so high.

They lost their review thanks to Guptill wasting it earlier. 

[davieG]

That’s the consequences of wasting a review 

[Innovindil]

Awful call but that's exactly why you don't burn your review.

He's right though, it's a big (awful) call by the umpire. Let England review it.

[UniFox21]

Really like how they use technology in cricket.

Doesn't ruin the flow of the game and still relies on the skill of the officials, we could learn from them.

Why would England review it?

It's pretty much the same, just less interpretation needed in cricket. The frustration with VAR is it's used in line with blurry rules. 

[Super_horns]

England are getting wickets at vital moments not allowing NZ any momentum.

It's a lot easier to use in a game that is played in short bursts of action with regular, natural stoppages.

Crucial wicket, crucial time. Not saying they WOULD have reviewed it. Moot point anyway as, like others said, NZ burned their review early.

 

Edit: I get what you mean now. I meant that, the umpire could have kept his finger down and let England review it.
