Sun comes out should make it easier

That Roy wicket was a huge blow so early. Reckon NZ will win this. Our run rate is too slow.

200 more still to go.. NZ 60:40 at this stage of match

The pressure, it can be observed, is getting on the nerves of English batsmen.

NZ bowlers dominating. This is painful to watch.

Nah its fine

I think people are panicking too much. Williamson is an excellent captain and will create some pressure with the bowlers; but if we ride out those periods we’ll win.

Bum nearly fell out then!

Bairstow so jammy

Swinging engs way

Baitstow again very very lucky inside edge again luck with england

Enjoying the game choosh?

You need luck to win anything.
Come on England!

Top bowling from NZ here.. every ball looks threatening. Unusually slow inning from Root, not his normal game. But then thats what the pressure does to you

This. As long as we don't lose more wickets the run rate is immaterial.

Having said that the ball is certainly doing enough to spark a collapse, so nerves are understandable.

Why do we have tarts on commentary?
Stick to women's cricket ffs

I get my comment looks panicky but NZ look dangerous every ball. You need to look at how NZ are bowling to know this is a tough ask.

Those empty seats are a sad sight, shame on those who priced fans out of the game

The moustache is the source all Ferguson’s powers. If the England can get over that, they’ll be ok.

They’ll be there, but people at Lords sit and have picnics in the grass area behind the press box. Never understood that when the cricket is on.

English team don’t have any fans and sport so people blame India fan for price ticket maybe england fan should be more in number they very silent sport. Only India do beat supporters

root gone
