Thought NZ had this but I did say bowling had to be good.

Sloppy finish from Woakes. England need as big a win as possible here.

i guess NZ not needing to win also part of equation

Nervy win .

Would've been an easier win without the dropped catch, obviously. Still, a win is a win.

Great win that and a big one too - 20 runs shows how well we batted and the bowlers were fantastic. One dropped catch but NZ dropped Jos let's not forget! Sit back and cheer for an Afghanistan win on Friday or failing that a close game where the Aussies don't get much on their NRR. Then go and give Sri Lanka a spanking on the Saturday. Used to seeing England chase, but wonder if we're better setting a target on these pitches so we can work it out a bit more. Sensible batting today, not going too hard too soon.

A good win against one of the form teams. If I was being picky, we should have scored another 10-20 runs and maybe if we had taken that dolly of a catch restricted them to under 150. That would have really shook the group up and made our last game almost irrelevant of worrying about run rate.

Never in doubt...
