New Zealand vs England | Final, World Cup | Lord's | 14th Jul, 2019 | England innings

Luck runs out for Bairstow !

Massive wicket. Wow this final is on a knifeedge.
 
The long batting order of England will come very handy today.

Baitstow and Butler will be the key.
 
People were predicting England to easily cruise to victory here. Once again, NZ have a deadly bowling attack!
 
I wonder how mohammad abbas would have bowled in this wicket?

Pakistan was conned by England series as wickets were record breakingly flat which even forced Pak to change their bowling combinations.
 
Ganguly saying in commentary England looses another wicket and everyone in the comm box is smiling
 
Oh, they're in trouble now!

This is when batsmen start noticing the difference between regular games and a WC final.
 
Williamson may come on for a few overs here . Some tight overs will help the pressure on.
 
Morgan will really need to step it up now. They need to play it smooth, stop looking for boundaries and start getting more singles.
 
England bat too deep though and Stokes is a fighter so England is still ahead.
But NZ fighting hard.
 
Morgan is playing too many risky shots. He always plays like this. He generally can't play textbook cricket shots.
 
English batting depth is overplayed - Woakes, Plunkett and Rashid are handy but not exactly the guys you want coming in at 120 or 130-5.

They need Morgan, Stokes and Buttler to hang in there for as long as possible.
 
I think Santner should bowl now. His slow bowling can slow down the scoring rate even further.
 
Field settings and tactics from Williamson are spot on. I hope Pak can produce a captain like him in near future.

Depth was rated when Moen was at no 7 and Woakes was at no 8. Definitely this current one isnt that much
 
Just take pace off the ball and it becomes hard to score.

I like this kind of pitch more than 360-380 pitch.
 
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] bro you are hanging by a thread here :yk i shudder to think what will be done to you here if England loses :))
 
Root digged the hole supported by Bairstow. Morgan and Stokes will have to get Eng out of this
