For once, I dont think England have tactically got this wrong.... the target is far enough to be very challenging, but obtainable.
England have made New Zealand come out their shell and take some risks to win, whiich is what England want them to do, and even then NZ would have to bat very well to win.
I dont think 300 was sensible. The pitch is way too good to leave 80-90 overs for someone to do that?
Not sure about that, theres still abit of swing around, and 90 overs gives England a 2nd new ball to potentially wrap up the tail
