Just 2 wickets from Potts.

Yep these two plus faukes could win it for us but once those three go the rest will have to hang on! If they only have to hang on for 10/15 overs maybe they can..

Draw is my prediction

Get Erling in. He'll sort the Kiwis out.

I don’t think we should put ourselves in that position.
Fair play to Stokes being positive. Approx 170 to get in 40 overs does not need a blitz approach. We need wickets in hand going into the last 15 overs then we can dictate matters hopefully.

Yeah think that’s what stokes and Bairstow are doing win or nothing

Well, this is the way Stokes plays, isn't it?
Huge risk of losing. But — let's be honest — great for cricket !


You get what you pay for. Root, wonderful batsman but moderate captain because he often erred on the side of caution when a bit of bravery was needed. No risk of that with Stokes, is there? ;-)

Going to be one hell of a last session

2 and half hours after tea to win draw or lose

Should go for it
