Youse will still win. Having two left handers in middle order in Morgan and Stokes would be huge against Santner. He is no where near as effective against lefties. Morgan to play a captains knock and see his adopted country home.Morgan's hooking his first bouncer to fine leg.
Morgan looking composed and determined today.
That was fecking awful by Root
was aiming for some ambitious jinxingCan all the lads who said this would be a non contest stick their hands up now and tell me this will be ok
Come on Kiwis, get one more wicket and let’s see the pressure turned up
There was a good Kimber article blowing a hole in the conventional thinking behind that theory:

Need another wicket now to make this a contest
Win predictor has England at 74%?! Seems way generous.
Not taking about left right pairs but effectiveness of a left arm spinners against lefties. Morgan especially targets all spinners. He won't allow Santner to bowl the kind of spell against India.
Yes, Butler needs to come in before 30 over mark for any chance of win for NZ.
Read the article, not the headline.
Ooooooh shit.
Bowledd get in
Wow Johnny gone
Big wicket!! Go on Kiwis!
This will go down to the wire
Now it gets interesting
YES!!!
Just give the cup to NZ already. England are cooked.
*glugs Stella praying Liam Plunkett pulls a win from nowhere*
Yeah NZ are winning this comfortably.
They might have made more of them, but those 25 overs between the 10th and the 35th were by far the easiest to bat on this pitch.

Ah Game Over I’d say, pressure has got to the England big names
At this point I’d take that. I’m assuming everyone who said it was an easy target tuned out.
It's absolute silence here now, help us.
Stokes and Buttler and big characters, they’ll keep things interesting
Tbf, they can't really have been watching in the first place. Nobody who saw how tough the England bowlers made it in the last 10 can have genuinely thought this was an easy pitch to score runs on.
Gotta knuckle down and just grind it out
Time for Buttler and Stokes to step up. Think they will
Ganguly comes out with the most generic statements, “this chase isn’t gonna be easy”. Thanks for the revelation Sourav
Well well well..get Buttler nice and early and it will be NZ’s to lose.
CDG has been excellent today. Has he been this good all tournament?
@Djemba-Djemba going right down to the wire mate.
England making De Grandhome look like Shane Bond.
How are England struggling against this pub bowler
