Guptill looks up for it. 

Maybe not.

Boom! See ya Guptil!

That might be the worst review of the WC! 

RandallFlagg

Nicholls doesn't seem to be settled, we need to get rid of him

VimFuego

Wouldn't you rather have him using up overs not scoring?

The best thing about today is that Mark Nicholas is nowhere to be seen. Just need Andrew Castle not to commentate on the Wimbledon final, and it will be the best day ever.

Maybe, England have turned the screws on since the wicket, this is good, tough going for the batsmen.

Mark Nicholas has turned into a male version of Gloria Hunniford, way too slick and insincere. By contrast Ian Ward has turned into an excellent presenter and interviewer.

NZ settling in, run rate picking up. Wicket needed.

And another great review 

scrumhalf

We needed that. Another couple now would be handy.

Nicholls gone - bowled him! Go Liam Plunkett! Middle overs maestro.

And over to More4, where it's not HD  grrr...

That’s an important wicket

Huge wicket.  Very poor umpire decision, but a review was wasted so there it goes. 

I'm getting really pissed off with guitar playing at the cricket venues, the same shitty riffs over and over again.  Why does cricket think they need that kind of nonsense?  Just leave the cricket to be as it is.

lol Guptil has cost NZ 2 wickets there

I like the guitar playing, music, fireworks etc in T20s and ODIs, Test Match cricket should definitely be left alone to its traditions.

NZ doing a great job of ticking along and not panicking.

Cricket does not need every non-plsying moment to be filled with loud and generally awful music blasting at unreasonable volume. I've stopped going to matches because of it, it's unnecessary and unbearable.
