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

[Durhamfootman]

Overcast this morning, but dry. There might be a bit of rain floating about, but it should be light and hopefully won't affect the match too much, if at all. Feels cool though, but then why wouldn't it be cool? it's not like it's the back end of June, or anything.

Debut for NZ seamer Mathieson.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Brandon says it's cold like Dunedin. Which presumably is under ice for 51 weeks of the year.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Forecast is a wet morning then.

[Durhamfootman]

brightening up where I live. They'll be on soon

[Durhamfootman]

and they are under way

England opt to field.

I think England will win...................... there, I've said it!

[Aidan11]

Slow going for NZ so far. Not that I'm complaining.

[Aidan11]

Stokes gets Williamson. 101/2.

[Durhamfootman]

scoring does seem 'watchful'

Are the overheads moving the ball around a bit?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Not seen any. Cricinfo said it was a good toss to win. Therefore the Kiwis are going quite well.

Stokes has good figures.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Big wicket for Willey. England could keep this under 270, if NZ don't get bowled out.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Ben has the best SR for the series on England's side, and will be the highest wicket taker on either side.

Willey, second best SR for England.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I think we class that as advantage England, these days, don't we?

[Durhamfootman]

well, the forecast, even as late as this morning, suggested that the day would be largely dry, with the sun making an appearance at about 4pm

that looks a long way out, atm. The rain is coming down again where I live, and it's all looking a little grim, in truth

Restart at 3.40 weather permitting.
