I think this is going to be another easy affair for England. There seems to be nothing in the pitch anymore.
Plunkett man of the match.
That was such an awful shot choice. Wow.
Shite from the Quiche.
Plunkers at it again.

What a pathetic shot. Every time NZ look to be in the game they lose a wicket
Terrible shot choice. This is looking good. 
Potentially Sir Liam if England win this.
What exactly is an umpire better at at recognizing in cricket than the tech?
I'm not sure. What exactly is the tech better at and by how much, is the question that is relevant, surely?
Need to get to 250 at least here.
Fancy Rashid to these two.
So 10 overs left.
What do we reckon?
Which team will be happier? Both pretty content at this point?

Exactly how I remember it. South Africa, Pakistan had better rounded, in form teams. Warne was devastating in SF and Finals
I’d rather an extra 30 seconds than wrong decisions. I’m not saying it has to be on the big screen every time. Maybe trial it in tests where the time in between deliveries is bigger.
You're being way too conservative to not jinx it. England significantly in front.
It’s better at accurately picking up sounds, and where it comes from. It’s much better at assessing where the ball is going in an LBW situation, as we’ve seen in this match.
Sounds I agree with. It gets dodgy on the predictive stuff about where the ball is going after hitting a pad.
NZ defended a low total against India so will be ok as long as it’s above 220.
You've got to be kidding. England dominating proceedings here by a margin. If NZ don't pull a rabbit out of the hat here, Roy will finish the 2nd innings in 30 overs himself.
NZ to score 400+ and win by 250 runs.
Who's this chap 'Big Man' then?
Archer with 5 overs left. Would be brilliant if NZ crossed 230-240 from here.
NZ will be relying on a bowling performance similar to Vs India.
Gosh, how did New Zealand make this final? England should win this at a canter.
England won the tournament when they dropped Ali for Plunkett.
What's your allegiance? I've not clocked it yet.
1996 finals one sided
1999 finals one sided
2003, 2007, 2015 all one sided. 2011 was competitive
Cricket has a crap track record in wc finals

feck sake Archer, come on
If NZ reach 250 it’s not in the bag for England. Lords is a big ground and runs don’t always come that easily.
I think NZ will be very pleased to be 200 up with 5 wickets spare and 5 overs to open their shoulders. They’re a good fielding side who will put up a solid defence.
They'll get 250.
I think it's about as likely that England will chase these in 30 overs as it is that NZ will skittle us.
Considering he's made of glass it's a minor miracle that Wood's gotten injured after he's bowled his full allocation in the final.
With a score of 250 you have to attack and take wickets, not defend.
If I had to make a bet I’d say we’ll do it for 6 wickets in under 40 overs.
Yeah. Not a bad time to get injured.
If we need him to bat today then we're already fecked anyway.
Semantics. I’d say taking wickets is a good way of defending your lead. My point is that they’re capable with the ball and it’s by no means over yet.
So England win in under 30 overs?
De Grandhomme had a tough time of it. Bullied.
Dead final
