Yes, I had forgotten that. The West Indians in the crowd celebrated the drop, whilst we all groaned...

Has the World Cup been dropped by NZ?

First change not so bad to have only lost 1 wicket and NZ have bowled Boult and Henry half of their allocation.

RRR unimportant at moment, lets hope the Tyke pairing fancy a bit of a quiet batting for the next 10 overs, then we'll see.

Unbelievable how many near misses for wickets. I fancy England to win this now they have somehow got through to 14 overs with only one down. Kiwis need a clatter of wickets.

They're bowling too well for us. Not looking good.

Exciting though. Better to lose than win by a mile.

We need to play our game, we create our own pressure like earlier in the tournament when we lost.

Pathetic from Root. Charge down was stupid, following it with a leaden footed waft doubly so.
