getting a bit strangled here 

[Futtocks]

Henry's bowling some brilliant stuff here.

[DavidM]

Put him out of his misery that was painful. This is what NZ do

[Futtocks]

Root, you absolute tart!

[mickhornet]

[DavidM]

Is this degrandhomme or waqar younis ? 

[mickhornet]

Buttler  owes us one,

[mickhornet]

90 ALL OUT ?

[mickhornet]

EVENS  ANY ONE OF 2

This is a very poor pitch for a WC final. Speccies want to see the ball coming onto the bat so the batsmen can play their shots. This is excruciating to watch.

 

[GeordieSaint]

Need a miracle here now England IMO.

86-4

[DavidM]

I thought it was a huge toss . Can’t overestimate getting a score in a final , and the trend here has been tracks getting worse

They’d get a knighthood , spot in the Lords , VC and perpetual spot on question of sport 

[DavidM]

County cricket is full of de grandhomme’s but no way should he be lethal on a new pitch in a showcase final ! They did this to us in the champions trophy !

[mickhornet]

Think its up to Stokesy.

I think they may be asking the new lords grounds man that 

[glossop saint]

This is horrible!

These 2 have got to get us close, huge pressure on them, let's hope they handle it better than some of the other players!

England often play badly at Lords*, but as HQ, they'll always get the plum fixtures, whatever dismal pudding the ground staff serve up. 

*Somehow, other teams manage quite well.
