The only surprising thing is that you or anyone else might be remotely surprised |  |

Still well in it, thanks to such a good start. Need to up the run rate into the last 13 overs. Something starting with a 3 would be nice. |  |

We're going to be bowled out here. | |

Could see NZ struggling on this pitch, I'd put us 60/40 to win*. They've struggled to chase and the pitch looks like it's getting more bowler-friendly as the day wears on.
*odds based on offering my hamster two slips of paper with ENG and NZ written on and seeing which she picks. |  |

It does sound as if it's been increasingly difficult to get the ball away on this wicket. A bit of rolling will only give it short-term firmness. |  |

Difficult to tell what a par score on this ground is. This competition has seen one small (203) and one big (338) score so far, both by SL.
The three previous ODIs, the average first innings score was 283, but that was over several years. In this year's one day cup, the average (over four matches) was just under 265.
All of which would suggest that 305 is not too shabby, if not outstanding either. | |

300+ is a decent run chase regardless...scoreboard pressure, etc.
Difficult to know whether the second half of England's innings was down to the balls getting soft, a change in the pitch or the bowlers working out how to bowl.
If England don't make early breakthroughs, they just need to keep at it, in case it was the former.
Probably 60/40 in England's favour, especially if Guptill doesn't fire early. |  |

Early wicket but need to build on that - so good dot balls and could do with Guptil and notably Williamson going cheaply. | |

Well that's Guptill.
Archer slinging them down at 94mph while bowling maidens and taking wickets in the powerplay isn't a bad combo. | |

There's no way they'll get 300 from this position. Get in, semi's here we come! | |

Be happy to see the back of Taylor and Williamson, then I’ll relax! |  |

Need to be a little bit careful, NZ's two best batsmen are in and, altho they've started slowly, we slowed down considerably in the second half of our innings. | |
