Bad start for the England team, they lost both their openers. The current run rate is below 5 and Ben Stokes is not playing today. I thought this was a batting track but I can see the ball moving on it. Newzealand has been bowling good, Henry & Santner have tied up the batters. It is creating pressure on the batters, another's wicket could be in the pipeline.

Did anyone play the Google mini cup? You will find it when you check the live score on Google. It is intresting and if you are bored you could give it a try. I played it, scored only 8 runs before the duck bowled me.

It is very likely that today's match will be very tough for England as England have lost four batsmen in their top order but none of the three batsmen could score a half century/century. England will need a long partnership to make a good target but it is easy to guess that England's batsmen are under pressure from New Zealand's bowling department. England fell by 4 wickets for 119 runs which is an indication of how well England's next batsmen will do. However, in today's match, if England cannot give a target of more than 250 runs, then there will be a possibility of defeat by New Zealand.

At this time cricket posts are at their peak because of the World Cup. The warm matches were finished and now the actual matches of the World Cup have been started. The New Zealand bowling is going very well, and I hope it will go.

On the other hand, England's batting is also very good. Kane Williamson didn't play today's match. This thing hurt New Zealand the most.
