I fear that could be it...rate now climbing too high on this sticky wicket.
The England extras could prove costly also

If Stokes stays we win.
If he gets out we lose.

Difficult to come in and hit the ball as required. It will have to be Stokes I think if we do it.

Re: England v New Zealand
I'm a bit confused why Buttler and Stokes didn't give it the "long handle" from over 10 onwards. The rate was already getting difficult at that stage. It was reaching "sh*t or bust time."

Not sure if they've bottled it, or it's been bad captaincy

Re: England v New Zealand
To many dot balls and extras conceded...
Butler needed to stay and stokes hit out he didnt and he hasn't
The fact theres been so few 6 in this game tells u all

I don’t think you have a clue how hard it is to hit sixes on a pitch like this against the best bowling you are likely to face

The foot on the boundary rope. The 2 that became a 6. If England don't win this then it's proof that God's a funny ******.
