    I'm calling this now... New Zealand to make around 220, Pakistan to be all out for 170. You heard it here first.

    This is the time when Wahab really comes into his own and makes a difference.

    Shaheer you have my deepest sympathies.

    Anyone ever been in a worthwhile meeting?

    I was in meetings this morning when NZ lost wickets 2-4. Luckily for us, I'm in meetings for the next 2.5 hours so we should be able to get them all out. Right?

    The last 30 balls of the innings could prove decisive. Just ask Carlos Brathwaite.

    New Zealand have at least got something that they can bowl at for a while and create some pressure.

    Karaoke Tony‏: NZ look like a team that are constantly there for the taking, but no one can seem to do it - good fighting spirit, more than can be said for England...

    It's been a good hand by Colin de Grandhomme.

  9. How's stat?!published at 14:54 British Summer Time 26 June 2019

    This is the first sixth-wicket century partnership in this World Cup for any side.

  10. 50 runs

    50 for De Grandhommepublished at 45 overs

    NZ 184-5

    Big Colin has his 50, from 63 balls. He played and missed about 15 times in the first few overs but has played a very fine, very important innings for his side.

    Neesham then tucks away a nice flicked four off his pads to bring up the hundred partnership. Advantage New Zealand now?

  11. How's stat?!published at 14:51 British Summer Time 26 June 2019

    This is now NZ's highest 6th wicket partnership in a CWC match, 92*, beating Colin de Grandhomme and Williamson's 91 at this very ground v SA.

  12. NZ 179-5published at 44.3 overs

    Nearly 20 overs since a wicket as New Zealand's rebuild continues. Amir continues and Colin plonks him to leg side for a single.

  14. NZ 176-5published at 44 overs

    Shaheen 3-28

    Colin de Grandhomme hasn't had a scare for a few balls so he runs a dicey single and just gets in.

    That's the end of 19-year-old Shaheen Afridi. His opening spell was simply sublime.

    That's actually a really poor review I think.

    He's not out - again.

    Any other sort of reviews? Phone a friend?

    Jimmy Neesham took a rather large chunk out of the pitch there.

    Pakistan got ahead of themselves when they got Williamson out, thinking they'd done the hard work. Anyone who has watched CdGH knows he is a dangerous batsman & Neesham is solid.
