Was actually thinking I might dare to believe as there's only 61 to go with 5 wickets and Joe still in. Think I'll just hold for now as have 3 points green on England.

Just looked at prices, and am gobsmacked at England at 1.3. THey have a long ,long tail starting at next wicket, and feel that the start of the day at Lords is potentially the toughest , as shown by previous days.
Gonna have a Lay of ENG, price too good to refuse.

Englands price drops below 3s again... considering another lay if it gets below 2 again. Although by the time that happens how many runs will England need? Could Foakes get them there?

Nathan Bennett

NED putting themselves in a position to give this ODI chase a threat
hoping with WI already 2-0 up some cbf factor might be in there play and NED put up a strong fight
LAYED 1.2 .., 1.6 be ideal remove red and see where games at in the later overs

I'm thinking along the lines of the pitch being at its best in sessions 2 and 3 like yesterday.imo Pope is a class act and will turn out to be England's regular no 3 eventually in the same way that Ian Bell struggled at first but eventually got there

I think similar he needs to stay there all summer. The big problem with Englands batting which is no secret is we dont have one test class opener let alone two puts the rest of the team under so much pressure.

I'd put Bairstow up there but they dont seem to want to do that anymore would be able to play Brook then.

Pope will have more chance of succeeding if he's coming in at 140 instead of 40 and below on a regular basis

@richard-futter I was just about to say he was playing well and looking good at lunch.

Hopefully we get a 10+ over partnership so we’re not sending Root in at 40/2 and expecting him to win the game for us!

@richard-futter that’s comedy

I've moved one of the points I have banked from England to give NZ an extra 1.5ish points. Crazy how much England have come in. Still need 250.

Nathan Bennett

Also
Massive ask for ZIM batters against AFGHAN spin
But I’m laying 1.05 and would take 75% back @ 1.12-1.15 and see what happens

Nathan Bennett

1.5-2.2 lay of Nz taken
Bang not mucking around here
Banking
Then may wait for root INNS

A grand total of 11 runs scored and England steam from 2.36 to 1.85. Madness.
