Happy with the first 10, but NZ will be very comfortable. Need some magic from someone to break this stand, reckon I'd get Stokes on to see if he can golden arm us one.

Plunkett has bowled some brutes so far. Good pitch for him, suspect the drizzle has spiced it up a little so our bowlers getting a bit out of it.

England still slight favourites, but this complete jamfest has kept NZ in the contest. England have to stop trying to manufacture wickets and giving them easy boundaries in the process.

Always go back and forth on who I prefer between Root and Williamson.... both such class acts. Do think Williamson carries his team more though.

seems like Englands over rate is precisely the same as NZs at the half way stage - both teams took 2 hours to bowl the first 25 overs, with NZ also having the 1 min silence in their bowling effort and 1 extra wicket down probably puts them actually ahead of England right now. How comes nobody is mentioning Englands slow over rate (not just here, but on bbc/cricinfo too) seems to be discussing it now, but there was plenty of discussion about it earlier when NZ were bowling?

Also, Kane is going along brilliantly, but whilst Ross is still plodding along at less than 2/3 England maybe marginally ahead (NZ 10 runs behind at the 30 over mark, with 1 more wicket remaining)

Must be a conspiracy going to the highest levels.

Probably game there, needed to get NZ to past 200 to really give them a chance. But well played from Williamson.
