ODI Series & T20i, England v New Zealand, 2015.

[Arthur Crabtree]

50 for Stokes brought up with a big 6.

Good SR. I guess that's going to go right up if he stays in. Hope Sussex has to reset his Stokes stats by the close of innings.

Is it Billings' day?

[Making_Splinters]

When was the last time England made 3 consecutive scores of over 300 in an ODI series?

[Aidan11]

Bit of a risky single.


Stokes obviously wants the strike.

Hopefully Billings and Willey (when he gets in) can both perform with the bat here. I'd like to see them both in the ODI for years to come. (Obviously for Willey though, it's not just about his batting).

Weather is absolutely fine.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good crowd.

Sorry to hear about Boult. Excellent tour and a pleasure to see him bowl.

Billings has looked a bit short of time, from his brief forays the crease so far.

[Aidan11]

Billings is out-batting Stokes.

58/1 off that PP.

[sussexpob]

FInally seeing what Billings can do....some impressive striking there

[Aidan11]

50 partnership.

[Aidan11]

33 off the last two overs.

Very leg side.

Useful knock.

[sussexpob]

Good cameo there from Billings

[Aidan11]

Rashid gone...350 looking distant.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Wonder if Rashid came ahead of Willey because he's a RHB? Comes to nothing anyway.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Still an over from the fifth bowler to come.

[st_brendy]

I hope Willey doesn't just bat for Stokes here. Wood and Finn can do that. Willey will hopefully play his normal, aggressive game.
