World Cup semis & final, July 9-14

[SaintPowelly]

If England don’t chase this, it will be the biggest bottlejob of all-time.

Good finish from archer....242 the target. NZ going to have to bowl us out, I think they are 30-35 short imo

[bigfluffylemon]

Archer finishes well.

242 to take the world cup home.

Hard to judge how good that is, really. I guess we'll see.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Stunning death bowling from Archer. Compare that bowling performance with the last WC, top to bottom. Different class.

How many overs will it take for England to get these?

[Gingerfinch]

We have one of the best ODI opening partnerships ever, Root, Morgan, Stokes and the 'due a knock' Buttler. We should get these.

[bigfluffylemon]

Geez that was close. Roy very very lucky, but looks ominous - Boult is bang on, and left arm swing v England at Lord's...

[Gingerfinch]

Unlucky for the Kiwi's

[bigfluffylemon]

I can barely watch this.

[Gingerfinch]

I can barely watch this.

Drunk, nervous or both?

[sussexpob]

How is that first ball not out, it looked stone dead (just catching up, the innings break seemed very quick)

[sussexpob]

My god, how is this partnership still batting

[bigfluffylemon]

I can barely watch this.

Drunk, nervous or both?

Terrified. Roy should have been out three times by now. NZ need early wickets, and they look like they're going to get them.

[sussexpob]

Key difference here is when new Zealand throw a bad ball in, England are punishing it....new Zealand started batting test match style, England are putting runs in the board which helps with the pressure

[sussexpob]

Damn

[ianp1970]

Roy looked all at sea today.
