That 16th over from Jordan has seen us off, in reality. We were well in control until then and miles ahead. But fair play to New Zealand. 

[Duquesne Whistle]

Well played New Zealand. Not too much else to say.

The Kiwis owed us one. If we were going to lose to anyone, glad it was them. Hope they win the final.

[Vacamion]

 

Well that changed a bit after Livingstone's last over!

 

That Jordan over turned it around.

 

Fair play New Zealand. Good luck to them at the weekend.  

[RonnieTodger]

That over from Jordan was the key. 

 

Hope NZ win it.

[Leicester_Loyal]

Hope NZ go on to win it, probably deserved after the 50 over WC win. 

[EastAnglianFox]

And I've been called out in the past by the experts on here when I've questioned Jordan as a death bowler.... He's garbage

[StanSP]

NZ to win. 

 

Still feel like they get underrated as a team yet they regularly out-perform sides that are (on paper) better. 

 

Good luck to them! 

[Super_horns]

Just shows it only takes one good/bad spell to turn things around.

 

Disappointing but credit to New Zealand.

[sm1]

Unfortunately Jordan did a Spurs and bottled it. Well done to NZ, hopefully they can go the whole way and win it. To be the best 20/20 and test team in the world, whilst getting to the final of the 50 over game, will be a phenomenal achievement with their limited resources. 

[leicsmac]

Looks like Neesham was the key in the end, then.

 

Can't help but feel that England threw it away after having the situation under control but kudos to NZ - as others have said, if you're going to go out to one team, it would be them. Hope they win it.

[RowlattsFox]

The fast bowling department was always a worry when someone went after them, they've managed to protect them pretty well up until the South Africa game. Jordan has done some good stuff for England but unfortunately it only takes one really bad over to swing a game.

 

Like most, I hope New Zealand win it now. To be World Test Champions, 50 Over finalists and at least T20 finalists with a lot of the same players across all formats is pretty cool. 

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

Thought it was an absolutely brilliant act of sportsmanship where NZ didn't take the run after collision.

 

Theyre a class act and I hope they win. You compare that with some of the mankadding and overly aggressive nonsense from other teams and you see they play the game in an absolutely brilliant fashion.

 

Hate to see England lose but you have to say NZ deserve it.

[Voll Blau]

All Pakistan today, aren't  we?

[surrifox]

Pakistan need to step it up a bit 

[Voll Blau]

Ump did well to duck that shot from Zaman. 

[surrifox]

Probably about 10-15 light on this ground but better than it looked at one time . Spinners need to bowl well now 

[Rain King]

That ball 🤣. And a 6 from it too!

[Voll Blau]

Big fan of Warner walking despite getting nowhere near it. 

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

Pakistan just dropped the t20 World Cup. Shame as they've been outstanding.

Indeed . Two best teams in the tournament out in the semis 

[StanSP]

Thought Pakistan had that. Been one of the best teams in the tournament to watch, if not the best.

 

NZ on Sunday it is 🤞

[Voll Blau]

Some ballsy hitting from Wade. If only the catch had stuck...

[Super_horns]

Pakistan fans will be feeling as we did yesterday.

 

A carbon copy !

 

Blooming Aussies pulling that out of the bag !

Typical Aussies though isn't it, you can never write them off.

[EastAnglianFox]

You just know who's going to win it
