Textbook England. Grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory.

Game over.

Whilst NZ are now favourites, that wicket doesn't really change anything aside from being a dot. Woakes is not a striker. If anyone is going to take the load off stokes it'll be Plunkett or Rashid

Game over, no?! Woakes was silly there. Give Stokes the strike you melon.

Ah man

Yeah I thought Ian Smith said that it was Stokes.

I don't know if to laugh or cry

[Corky]

They've given themselves too much to do. Not reaching 240 and not being bowled out is a poor result.

[Vacamion]

 

Blimey. 

 

We'll probably lose, but what a game. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Come on England ??????? 

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Some great slower balls there.

[foxes_rule1978]

Typical England, bottling this 

[Izzy]

Too much to do now surely

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

This is looking like a dreadful chase, 240 should of been gettable even with the great NZ bowling attack 

[Leicester_Loyal]

I can't work out why we didn't go for quick singles earlier in the match, we literally wasted probably 10-15 runs there.

Gotta give NZ credit. I thought exactly the same after the semi

I need a wee.

Yep too many dots but they’ve strangled us

Don’t need a kiwi commentator

Really is easier said than done. Someone mentioned good field positions chosen by Williamson and it was the case early in the innings too. 

[Izzy]

The king of Spain can't watch 

[foxes_rule1978]

Should have been doing this earlier

Just do it, it'll distract you from the cricket and warm your seat up 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Only 6 down as well should have gone for it earlier 

[foxes_rule1978]

just hit out at everything now... 

[StanSP]

If Stokes wins this for England it'll banish all the demons from that West Indies game few years ago. 

 

Like Knockaert against Watford!
