Rain - DL - England minus 10

I was wondering why they were still playing while it rained here....

The partnership is worth 70 runs in 70.4 overs.

Old school England?

It'd be close on DL, or whatever they use in this format. NZ to edge it?

Rain - DL - England minus 9

From the Beeb

Here's the important info. England are behind on the Duckworth-Lewis par score. They need 355, so if there's no resumption New Zealand will win. However, we have an extra half-hour built in for just such eventualities, so we don't start losing time until 18:51 BST.

And it's now dry here and there's some blue up above. There's still a chance....

 

[yello]

Yep, close. Also from the beeb

. 20:30
Just by the by, if England were six wickets down rather than seven, they would be one run ahead on Duckworth-Lewis

I hope we get play, DL is no way to resolve this game.

Target 34 runs in 13 balls- Death or Glory (got over excited and posted in Pro Racing good thing that they are all dead from the neck up over there - they wouldnt have noticed)

 

[psmiffy]

A good effort by England - but the best side won on the day - they go to Southampton all square

Another fantastic game of cricket. This reminds me of 2005 and the epic ashes series. I know this is ODI cricket and not tests, but the entertainment levels are phenomenal.

England giving it their all against the best ODI side in the World, in my opinion.

Fantastic!

I can't wait for the ashes, but I fear we are in for a walloping in that!

I'm happy that we can lose in an honourable way - It's all we ask really.
