Exciting 1st ODI. England limped to 284/8

NZ struggled at 27-3 then a huge stand by Taylor and Latham put them in touching distance.

Then 3 wickets in 12 balls - 2 of them to Stokes has made it exciting!

You’ll be pleased to know we grasped defeat from the jaws of victory.

Twice.

So the fourth ODI gets under way and it’s a bottom order collapse of the highest order

Bairstow and Root Get Centuries Roy gets 42 and Currran gets 18 of the last over which is all the distictions available the rest meh could have been a total of 380 -390 whereas it is only 336 for the Kiwi’s to win and level the series.

Both New Zealand openers went for Little quack quacks but then we allowed Williamson and Tahlor to get to mid 40’s before Williamson was taken out by a Stokes loosener

Taylor now gets his 50

Drinks break with TAylor on 98 so expecting him to go before the magic century

Taylor gets a ton then Latham gets 50 and theen 60 in consequetive overs.

Squeaky bum time again.
