That's the way Stuart.

That's not the way Stuart.

At the moment NZ would be chasing about 4.2 an over....

Its a shame England don't look at the stats anymore.

According to cricinfo the win loss record for teams chasing 300 to win at lords is 1-21. The Windies in 1984 did that.

Presently England are 333 ahead, 2 wickets left and still batting 81 overs left in the day.

Going down swinging, but really they could have pushed on last night.

keep forgetting though, got to make sure you can't loose before you go for a win.

We have enough runs, starting to run short of overs.

Got to give NZ a sniff, or they wont chase it.

[dan08]

4.5 an over now for NZ.

[Aidan11]

Umpire's call I reckon.

Exactly. Got to give them a chance so they take the risks.

344 ahead, 2 wickets left, Maximum number of overs NZ can face is 78, and still England bat.

9 down.........

[Aidan11]

Bad captaincy from Cook again.

Frightened to set up a declaration.

[SaintPowelly]

Pathetic from England

I hope Brendon opens the batting and has a go.

[yuppie]

And still they bat...........

Must be a magic number 350

[sussexpob]

Tbf, the pitch has looked docile and NZ went at over 4 an over in the first dig. Anything under 4.5 is chasable

[SaintPowelly]

Well Done Trent, deserve that

[Aidan11]

Lightening Boult gets on the honours board.
