🏏ICC WC 2023: M1 - England vs New Zealand on 05/10/23 at 2 PM IST🏏 - Page 46

Now it's a scramble for England. Here's Woakes. How do England play it? Attack the match situation, or just bat out the 50 and accept whatever they can get?

Come on eng

You need to do 300

Why the hell I changed 525+ to 600+

41.1 Glenn Phillips to Root, out Bowled!! This is mindblowing from Latham. What captaincy moves he's made today. You don't expect Glenn Phillips to bowl in the 42nd over to a set right-handed batter who can easily take him on. But he says, let him take him on if he wants, that's the bait and gets the offie on and guess what. Root tries to play a reverse sweep, Glenn Phillips fires a good yorker, ball sneaks under the bat and hits the stumps. This is a body blow for England who needed Root at one end. Root b Glenn Phillips 77(86) [4s-4 6s-1]

Glenn Phillips to Root, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Oliver: "Root has essentially shown the Kiwis how to bat this - play the shots that are there but try to force the pace and you will get out. A very good innings but I suspect it will be an innings in defeat."

Well played Root

England vs New Zealand, 1st Match

New Zealand opt to bowl

ENG - 232/7 (41.4)

CRR: 5.57

ENG: 235-7 after 42 overs

Ali Ayyaz: "now that "attacking their title" didn't go so well, will England go back to trying "defending the title" instead?" I strongly doubt it! They'll have to attack NZ's batting, after all

Olly: "Batters 8 and 9 both with a highest ODI score of 95* and averages of 24. There's really no let up..."

Usman Saeed: "This has the makings of another England-New Zealand thriller. England may get to around 275, a total that is likely to produce riveting cricket with England going for wickets and New Zealand trying to keep a balance between attack and safety. "

Who else is collecting andas🤣
