How are we doing now?
NZ 152/4
35 overs gone
Neesham a key man here
He looks like he fancies it with his power
Serious bowling from Mark Wood
1 run conceded in his last two overs, a wicket, and the joint fastest ball of tournament of 154 kph
Looking at a chase of 220-230

Still wouldnât fancy them
Depends on the start. If they lose a couple of early wickets theyâll struggle.
New Zealand will at least post a somewhat more competitive total than their lamentable effort of 183 in the 2015 final
How competitive it will really be remains to be seen
I think they need upwards of 240 to be in a with a decent shout
The history of World Cup finals shows that if you post a competitive target, itâs difficult to chase it down
Pressure can take over
If New Zealand can get 260 that have s great chance
Archer reallly firing in the wides
3 in that over
NZ edging towards a potentially decent position now
203/5 with 6 full overs left
Big six from Latham
Heâs now the key man
Putting in a very steady knock
NZ avoid a very cheap run out by the skin of their teeth
Wood and Plunkett both finished bowling now
NZ 219/6 with 19 balls left
Key man Latham is still in
Wide 4 by Woakes 
240 on the board for NZ
3 balls left
240/8 now with two balls left
Shout
NZ finish on 241/8
In a normal one dayer youâd expect England to cruise home, but if NZ get early wickets, England could get very nervous
You canât divorce the occasion from the chase, so itâs by no means a done deal
Itâs a defendable total
England 2/9 NZ 3/1
While England are rightly favourites, thatâs much too short
Australia bowled the chasing England out for 221 at Lordâs on June 25th
And the Aussies also bowled the chasing NZ out for 157 at Lordâs on June 29th
So teams can be bowled out for low totals at Lordâs and NZ ripped through India in the semi-final when India were chasing
3/1 looks tasty
