Bit harder to bat in the second innings. All 4 games won by team batting first
Gonna need another big stand by Roy & Bairstow
Guptill ton today, you heard it here first
Just looking at the 4 matches.. 280+ in 3. Australia defended 240 vs New Zealand.
Most made by team batting 2nd is 260(SA chasing Pakistan's 310).
280 will be a great score going off that.
Annoyed they’re not doing the Haka
That's the New Zealand National Anthem?
You'll get over it, it's cricket not rugby.
Mambo number 5 to be played as the English anthem.
Better than god saving the stupid queen.
I love Kane Williamson... What a man.
If England do lose, the one consolation at least is that he'll be the one lifting the trophy

Yeah honestly I’ve we are going to lose a World Cup final NZ are one of the teams I’d begrudgingly be pleased for.
Archer doesn't know the England national anthem. 
Wicket in the first over please lads.
Nasser: "There are lots of England fans here today" ... no shit?
Openers for NZ have been crap all tournament... Can't see that changing today with the added pressure
Woakes bowling 50mph apparently
That speed gun is messed up.. That ball was more than 53mph
That fifteen minute rain delay could be crucial.
Back in the Benson and Hedges era one dayers used to start at 10.30 in England, but ball dominated bat so much they pushed the start time back to 11 to ensure a more even contest.
That hasn't been that much of a factor in this world cup, which probably tells you how shit the white ball is, but it reduces the window where it could be a factor.

I'm at Lords today, there are as many Indian fans here as English
Wasn't that particularly a problem in the early part of the season?
Wait and see, I just won 2 dollars in a lucky draw, it's my lucky day, I can't do anything wrong today
He has 94 runs in his last 8 games. Will do well to make it 100 runs from 9.
That is brilliant umpiring.
Guptill looking clueless. Won't last long.
Expected more movement than has been on show. Good for NZ. Nice start.
Guptill is so bad. How does he have a double century in this format?
England have bowled pretty short. May well get more movement pitching up.
Wow, thought that was stone dead.
Dharmasena strikes again early.
Looked out to be fair

Dharmasena off the mark.
Lucky review, looked plumb
How many times you think we'll hear
"You're on screen now Kumar, you can reverse your decision"
on Sunday?
Started early
Yes, good review
Same here tbh. I was thinking shit batting, shit review.
fecking hell Dharmasena. What the hell is he doing umpiring at a WC, let alone the final
Why is he here? How often does he get decisions wrong. Disgrace that he's umpiring the final.
Started early
First of many today.
I can't believe I have never heard it before.
btw, the Queen didn't choose it herself, you know.
