NZ will go through with 175. England will qualify if NZ get 174.

Hmm, the pace bowlers have been shredded in the PP. If the spinners don't produce a miracle, England are out.

All over, NZ v Australia final.

For England, miracles have been forbidden.

The England pace bowlers do better at the end of the innings than at the start and win a close game.

And get to go home a few days early.

Only England players going home are Plunkett and Wood and thats because they are crocked. The other seamers are staying on, with Woakes joining the team.

I think only Curran has been on all the tour? Unless Malan was drafted into the ODI side. Don't think anyone else has has played since November.

Though I think Ben Stokes has been named in all the squads!

Tom Curran isn't in the Test squad v NZ but has been in every squad since the start of the Ashes. Malan has been in every squad so far and will only miss the ODIs v NZ, unless he is called up.

Agar did well.

Australia shouldn't have a problem chasing this down. This looks like a good pitch.

Lynn injured again.

NZ did well to recover to 150, by the looks of it

From what I had seen on Cricinfo before leaving work, they did terribly to only get that far. The rot must have set in as soon as I stopped keeping an eye on things, as they were at fifty before the end of the 4th over, I think.

To only make another 100 from 16 overs is a poor return. Maybe Aus did well to restrict them to so low a score.

Was a poor score for a NZ ground.

DL finish. Bit of a shame.

although DL merely decided the margin, not the outcome. That had been a given for some overs.
