Marks on the pitch are a combination of water marks and some spores they’ve had issues with before at Lords.

Bluebluered · 14/07/2019 17:06

I can’t see any squiggly marks. I will have to look out for the marks now. Forget the game. Find the squiggles!!

It looks like the shape of water stains, but don't know what vile cause that.

Makes more sense Jacques - they look like fairy rings!

Bluebluered · 14/07/2019 17:07

Omg they have such a shit run rate. They need to calm down and hit sensibly. Get a few runs a ball. Why are they trying to hit big shots? 😖😖😖😖

Oh, like fairy rings Jacques? That's not good on that beautiful turf.

Bluebluered · 14/07/2019 17:09

I just saw the squiggles!! They’re water marks. You get a better view from the spidercam when it goes over then pitch 😂

I know, it doesn’t look great! They’ve had issues with them before although off season I believe. Can’t remember when it was.

This is really hard work. Run rate needs to move up a bit. NZ are bowling well.
Oooh a 4 and 100 up! Trying not to loose hope.

JacquesHammer · 14/07/2019 17:12

Hopefully the run rate will pick up when de Grandhomme is off.

GrouchyKiwi · 14/07/2019 17:13

It might do, Jacques, but Santner is very good at squeezing the batsmen too.

outofnothing · 14/07/2019 17:13

Yeah I'm probably wrong re the marks on the grass but don't think my view of the game outcome will change sadly

Bloomburger · 14/07/2019 17:14

I've turned over to watch the tennis as it's the first cricket match I've ever actually watched and I feel maybe it's my fault!

(Please tell me everyone does this!)

Now the tennis is nail biting too.

Not sure how I'll survive Rog & England both losing! 😢

GrouchyKiwi · 14/07/2019 17:15

De Grandhomme's figures are fantastic.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 14/07/2019 17:16

Grouchy all I can say is... rather you the kiwis, than the Aussies 🤣 😀

Rivkka · 14/07/2019 17:16

Jesus this is too hard to watch

DappledThings · 14/07/2019 17:17

I'm here. And nervous!

GrouchyKiwi · 14/07/2019 17:17

I think it's great that whoever wins it's for the first time. That's good for the sport.

GrouchyKiwi · 14/07/2019 17:24

One surprising thing from NZ's innings is that we didn't get a run out. I'm so used to those happening.

JacquesHammer · 14/07/2019 17:24

Shame after such great semi-finals the showcase match is so tediously dry!

Bluebluered · 14/07/2019 17:25

I agree. After this game only 1 team will remain who haven’t won the wc.

England is starting to get comfortable. NZ needs a wicket.

Seeline · 14/07/2019 17:33

Crowd seems to have woken up a bit.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 14/07/2019 17:34

I think the crowd are picking up! And the sun has come out. It feels nicer now. Smile

41% of the tickets had been sold to supporters of India.
