Yea, Roy would still be there but it wont affect the result. "F*cking embarrassing" as he walked past the umpireWe could have done with it now!!!
And giving a great example of why free to air tv lost the rights to everything in the first place. The morning will be on Channel 4 before the cricket gets shunted off to a non-HD channel so they can show F1. Its a once in a generation event and it still gets that sort of treatment.The final is being shown live on channel 4, for anybody who doesn't have sky.
shouldn't play any cricket at Lords - our record poor there in most forms.0 for 2 against NZ there in 50 oversAn easy win, shame we can't switch the final to Edgbaston.

Econ very similar, however Ali takes his wickets @ 50 with S/R of 56 compared to Rashid @ 30 and S/R of 32 across the same period. Takes wickets more frequently and gives away less runs in between
Leg spinners always likely to get hit on some days. Rashid a threat to both right and left handers with his variations and few batsmen from 7 downwards can pick them, which is why he cleans up the tail so often. Ali is a decent option as a 2nd spinner, gets good drift and turn on his day but carries nowhere near the same wicket taking threat.
Rashid probably one of the poorer fielders agreed, but not a liability. As for his batting, well...he bats 10/11 usually yet still averages over 20 with a S/R over 100, I don't think that's a big issue
Doesn't perform in big games - took most wickets as a spinner in 2017 Champions Trophy, only global tournament he'd previously played in. Also most wickets in big series vs Aus last summer and also vs West Indies in the winter as a couple more recent examples
Roy and Bairstow are the key to our batting. If they are both out cheaply, we'll struggle.
But the bowling attack seems to be in great form at the moment.
But then again so is New Zealand's.

Thoughts for tomorrow then?
Yeah, you have to think if there is going to be any bit of movement it will be first thing.I suspect it may be another good toss to lose. Don’t fancy Trent Boult bowling down the slope with a bit of cloud cover.
Agree, NZ have a great bowling attack and can skittle any team out. I think if you can silence Williamson for sub 50 we should winI’ve seen a lot of hype and no New Zealand player would get in the England team
That’s nonsense
Sandler would be in any team ahead of Rashid
First change fast bowler in this tournament it’s Ferguson ahead of Wood
Boult and Archer neck and neck
Woakes beats Henry
So it’s close on the bowling front
Williamson is the player and captain of the tournament - I’ve seen NZ live twice and he controls well
Other than he and Taylor the batsmen are woeful - you have To think Guptill has 1 innings in him
If we win the toss we will bat as they know if we get 300 plus it’s hard to see how they will get near to it
They could though defend a low score as the bowling and fielding is top draw
Guptil gone!!
So has the review - stupid to review that he was all round the ball and it hit his back leg
Keep that up.NZ getting on top. England need a wicket quickly. Williamson and Nicholls looking set

Keep that up.
Williamson gone and at a strike rate of 50 he will be very disappointed - one boundary is 55 yards - New Zealand are looking to dig out 250 and defend the total
You could have watched that as many times as you like in super slow mo and not think he'd hit it. Thank god for ultra edge!Wow...didn’t think he nicked it but yessssss
