That the first they've shown of Beckham

He's been shown periodically throughout the whole game.

Looks a dead wicket for the seamers. Big total, but one of India's strengths has been their new ball bowlers, something which the wicket might negate. A good start and NZ could get close.

Bumrah off it but Shami makes the ball work.

Kohli so close to being out for a golden duck, slight inside edge before it smacked into his pad. Fine margins

[Super_horns]

India already got 2 wickets .

Might be another easy win for them .

Did this make him insufferable

Would have loved it Keegan style if he was out first ball but it wasn't to be.

 

Watching his antics in the field for 1 second tells you all you need to know about him.

Is he good? yes.

Is he a cvnt? very much so.

What exactly has he done wrong today? 

 

Don't see anything to make him a cvnt

I hadn't been watching enough when it was cutting away to notice, had it on mute as well

[Tommy Fresh]

Was it Mitchell who had that class knock against England in a semi final (possibly T20)

[Tommy Fresh]

****ing hell that was massive

[leicsmac]

If NZ can (somehow) pull this off, it would be the second highest successful chase in ODI history.

 

Think these two still need to be at the crease after another hour for it to be a chance, though.

What a drop

Talking about in general rather than today, although you could take him screaming in Shami's face for the second wicket as an example.

He's undeniably very irritating, probably intentional on his part to rile up opponents.

 

You could argue his selfish slow scoring to get his century has actually put India at risk here.

Strike rate barely over 100 is low considering how many wickets India had in hand, all for his own gain rather than the team.

That's quite a stretch! 

Not sure it's selfish? Could see it as preserving his wicket and not wasting it. 

 

Rather that and rack up a big total and make big partnerships with others that can smack it around the ground in more entertaining fashion. To say he's selfish and not a team player is quite far-fetched in my opinion. 

[StanSP]

Mitchell's ton was good to watch though! 

[walkerleeds]

Urgh. Probs game over now.

[Tommy Fresh]

**** off

[StanSP]

Shami 

[Tommy Fresh]

Mitchell is the big one though

Shami 

After the awful drop 😂

[Lionator]

New Zealand looks well set there but the drinks break completely interrupted the momentum they were gaining. Only one winner here and only one winner in the tournament unless South Africa can do something special as I think they're the only team whose batting could challenge India. 

[leicsmac]

Nah, too much to do from here. Will be about 30-40 short by the end, I think.
