Cricket World Cup group stages, May 30 - July 6

[Arthur Crabtree]

NZ have done well in the second half of the innings. Bringing in NZ-Tim hasn't worked, but well done to Trent, Jimmy and Matt.

Still a lot for NZ batters to get. If Guppy and Neesham have good days, then it might be on. But usually these days, they don't. Their reliable players, Rosco and Kane are going to struggle to keep up with the rate.

Hope we get a good finish.

Morgan finally bestirs himself to action.

[Arthur Crabtree]

So, despite England's obvious advantages, I just cant see past Australia.

Aussies only have half a good team. They're too reliant on too few key players. But then no one looks infallible.

Are they a great fielding side? That might count for a lot among closely matched sides. England aren't bad in the field. Woakes and Stokes have been superb. But they have an average keeper.

This is a very disappointing effort from the middle order

[Arthur Crabtree]

Big wicket getting Morgs there.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I presume Tim will bowl another.

Should be enough

Nicholls goes first ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Typical NZ opening partnership.

Guptill gone 15-2!

[Arthur Crabtree]

NZ don't want to play too fast and loose here with their NRR.

[yuppie]

Guptill has had a very poor WC

[Arthur Crabtree]

Handy recovery though from Roscoe and KW.

Willamson gone! 60-3
