Crowd is awful. It's like a County Cricket match. 

The Indians and the Aussies bought up many of them thinking that they'd be finalists.

Been pretty average in the field really. No direct hits and too many extras. Let's just hope its not too costly.

Worried on this, take out our 20odd extras we've given away and they're down to just above 210

[EastAnglianFox]

30 extras is awful at this level really.

 

Woakes again didnt bowl out his 10

24 odd extras is piss poor 

Leg byes are counted as extras, which skews the picture somewhat. Do agree we bowled too many wides though.

Because of how time consuming it would be. Imagine having to do ball tracking every time a bowler or keeper went up for an LBW.

 

Well it would have to be at umpires discretion,  but then I guess given how often they use it for run outs you have a point.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Think NZ will have to bowl extremely well to defend this, but they're capable.

Not sure if he means the atmosphere or not?  It is awful though, but it's lords.

30 extras, that puts NZ on 211 if we minus those. Makes our job a hell of a lot harder.

[RowlattsFox]

It falls in the we'll take it but won't be easy category. Extras are a concern but it happens, unlucky leg bye boundaries and you're going to get some wides when you use the short ball a lot. 

 

Game on.

[Innovindil]

Would have taken that chase before the game tbh. Just have to keep our cool.

If Lords is the home of cricket I'd prefer to play away.. 

[Vacamion]

 

Archer was brilliant at the death. 

 

Woakes' last over was all over the shop.

Once the members get those Pimms down them during the break it'll get rowdy.

[Corky]

Happy with that. The first 10 overs are huge, a solid start and I think we'll be fine, but they did India in the same time last week so it is a vital stage of the game.

[Chiltern Fox]

Best chance England will get to win the cwc this. Surely.

[purpleronnie]

I'm sure we all would take taken less than 250 at the start...it's England's to lose.  PLEASE don't lose an early wicket.

[RowlattsFox]

[UniFox21]

holy shit that was close 

[Vacamion]

Wow. 

[AKCJ]

****ing hell we've had some luck today.

[foxfanazer]

So lucky. Seems a bizzare system to me but I'll take it 

[UniFox21]

Calling it that we won't get that total 

[Vacamion]

242 seems a lot bigger now 

[RowlattsFox]

Just see off the new ball and you'll get the odd bad ball to score off.
