    I'd like to see us bowl first and make the most of the early swing. Otherwise Roy and Bairstow are going to have a fieldday.

    Still think win the toss and have a bat. Lord’s especially is always a bat first and win. And it’s a final.

    I think bat. NZ won't be able to chase more than 260, and from NZ point of view, they will want something on the board and their strength (bowling) second.

    The usually sound tactic of just reviewing every Dharmasena decision fails this time. Just as I was about to get The Fear about this Guptill start.

    Properly awful shot from Guptill and even worse review.

    Long way to go and all but I think New Zealand could have done some damage in those opening overs had they bowled, bit of nip and the brand can falter somewhat.

    The thing I worry about from an NZ point of view is when are they going to accelerate, Kane will just bat through and the only hitters are Neesham and Big Colin, both of whom are hardly infallible.

    So how does that leave things going into England’s innings? Who is favourite?

    I'd say it's evenly balanced. NZ are probably about 40 short but their bowling has been brilliant in this tournament.

    A lot depends on Roy and Bairstow staying in past the early onslaught.

    New Zealand are in the game with this score but they need early wickets + nerves/pressure to really cripple us.

    If the boot were on the other foot, and we were the underdogs trying to convince ourselves that this was a competitive total, we'd get absolutely pasted, but, you know, natural pessimism and all.

    Runs on the board in a final etc.

    This is going to be a nail biter. Already had a fair slice of luck this innings as well.

    When Buttler is there I have faith. Especially now danger man Colin de fucking Grandhomme has bowled out.

    Nope. Not from here. It’s too steep without Buttler

    This would require something very special but we really needed Buttler to hang about. He was nerveless.

    No fucking clue. You'd think so, but one six changes everything. I suppose NZ batsmen might be a little rusty but I'm clutching at straws here.

    Yeah. Very good. For reference England and New Zealand went at about 5 an over during the actual match.

    Nothing's in the bag though, one six for New Zealand changes everything.

    EDIT: meant to quote Yev there.

    England win by virtue of more boundaries.
