    242 to win? What do you reckon? England are odds on on Betfair to win but quick wickets and tight bowling could make this tricky, if the boys come out hard and smashing it them this could be over easily before 50 overs.

    Here we go!

    How was Roy not out there? And then he hits a boundary!

    Oh dear.  Thinking further ahead, I really don't get this talk about Roy as a test opener.  He could have been out about 5 times there.

    He deserves a chance but I wouldn't bet the farm on him.

    Nervy times, it's a scrappy match, tough batting conditions.

    yeah, NZ dominating the moment, I thought we may have been edging it, but the Roy went an it's changed the dynamic.

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

    We just need to not panic early. Plenty of time just don’t lose too many early wickets.  Exactly what NZ did to post a competitive score.

    Sloppy from Joe Root, slash and a miss then a nick to be caught.

    Pressure building, 242 looks a long long way away.

    So, as a neutral, this is interesting... :)

    I had hoped this wouldn't need Jos to weigh in, now...

    I think he's the key now.  It's probably only a matter of time until Ferguson gets Morgan with a short ball.

    England just not getting away, it's making the NZ batting innings look pretty solid. I hope I'm wrong but I would say they are on the way to being fooked, if Stokes fails early its wounded animal time.

    Should have played Moeen. Need all the batters we can get.

    It may not be the 6-fest that many hoped for, but it's edge-of-the-seat stuff.

    In the words of Rachel Riley, this is a proper bottle job.

    Butler and Stokes last hope, next wicket and it's over

    Ian Smith is really fooking annoying.

    The NZ fans chanting “Colin De Grandhomme” every 5 minutes on Sky commentary is really starting to grate as is Michael Clarke's and Ian Smith's fucking commentary, I have warned my missus that I am going to be “tetchy” for the next hour or so.

    3 outstanding performances from England and we are now facing 6 an over in the tricky run chase and the game is sliding with that inevitable feeling....again.

    c'mon Stokes & Butler, dig it out, your country needs you!

    Not as bad as Brian Waddle on rhe radio, he's about half an hour behind everyone else and has the sense of humour of an empty cardboard bix.

    Stokes just doesn't seem to be able to work the ball for singles.  I think Buttler has scored off every ball he has faced so far, but Stokes just keeps hitting it to fielders.

    I like Ian Smith. Michael Clarke can sod off though. 
    I’m keeping the faith. England to win by 3 or 4 wickets.

    Every over they score less than 6 is adding pressure, too much pressure

    And over to More4, where it's not HD  :s grrr...

    I’ve never appreciated HD until today. I felt drunk turning over to More4. Back on C4 now though.

    Don't like drinks breaks when we're batting.

    Down in the Fanzone at Trafalgar Square and you really can feel the tension. Exciting stuff. Still looks incredibly tight.

    If we win the atmosphere there will be electric.
