England [225/4] defeat New Zealand [223] by 6 wickets in 2nd ODI, series levelled at 1-1

[Abdullah719]

England won the toss and elected to bowl.

Chapman and Ferguson in for Williamson and Sodhi. Southee captain.

England unchanged.

 

[Aman]

No Kane, probably a good thing with how he's been playing.

Hoping Chapman makes the most of this opportunity.

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis loose early wickets , time for consolidation

22 / 2
7 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Latham should be batting at number 3. He is perfect for that role. He takes his time and builds innings.

 

[Justcrazy]

30 / 2

9 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

This two need to bat some time here , crucial partnership

 

[giri26]

NZ need a big partnership from these two currently 46/2 in 13.5 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Taylor gone

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis need a big partnership otherwise they will not get a reasonable score to defend

kiwis ship is sinking fast here

 

[Justcrazy]

Poms are right on top here. They have firm grip over the game , with the kind of batting line up Poms have.

 

[Justcrazy]

90 / 5

27 overs

 

[Sadevdesai]

Not much left to watch !!!!

 

[giri26]

GrandHomme and Santner need to at least bat out the overs here. They have 16 left after this. Again if Granndhomme bats for 16 overs, NZ can get to competitive score.

 

[Aman]

Meh, we were due a game like this where we bomb out and nothing goes our way.

 

[Justcrazy]

173 / 8

8 overs left

 

[Justcrazy]

Meh, we were due a game like this where we bomb out and nothing goes our way.

Kiwis batting is pretty fragile in the middle order.
They need at least one more solid middle order batsman.

 

[Justcrazy]

santher playing vital knock

 

[Justcrazy]

Kiwis need to make sure they bat out all the overs , 45 balls left.

Stokes dismisses Root for six. England have missed this guy.

Fifty up for the skipper.

 

[WengerOut]

Looks like I am quite popular

 

[Robert]

Skipper falls but Stokes passes fifty.

 

[Robert]

Well that seemed straightforward enough. The old England would never come to the Antipoods and win like this.

Eng showing weak links in NZ team, this NZ team looked invincible vs PAK recently !

England is a much better ODI team than Pakistan and New Zealand at the moment. If their bowling clicks, nigh unbeatable.

Eng did got beaten by Pak in CT, still doubt Eng can do good in WC'19 even with such an impressive ODI team.
