A few change ups and England can now chase a total above 300 easily. I am confused what to make of things, they shuffled the batting line up and Ben Stokes moving up the order made the changes as he scored runs after a long time and Jonny Bairstow is in prime form and now the series is active but India is still dangerous as they can always turn around the series in the end.
The changes isn't big, already it is well known. Jason Roy and Bairstow are the best openers of the year in ODI. Now once again they've proved it with the tremendous start. If the opening isn't good, further the players experience high pressure as the target is above 300. Here the start of the innings gave the players more confidence and reach the target easily.

Placed a bet on England today with @2.68 odds 
So cheering for Buttler & co 
Okayish start for England if we go by their own standard but they didn't lose any wickets so its a positive sign, i feel dirty but want to see off day for Kuldeep again and don't want to see another 2 wickets in an over spell from Lord Thakur.
Once again the top order is striking well and the huge total looks very reachable at this time. Wondering no bowler managed to take any wicket at the half way mark and the only one wicket came from run out from hitman.

I am also having belief on the LORD THAKUR! Can he do it one more time? Haha...

One average match for Bhuvi and the whole bowling attack couldn't find their momentum. Especially Krunal he was hilarious in his bowling I have to say. India over relied on their spinners who were good for nothing today.
I agree. They made a big total like 337 look easy primarily thanks to Stokes and Bairstow. I never liked Krunal's bowling though he bats well now and then and Kuldeep hasn't improved at all.I don't know what is the reason why Hardik is not bowling in the ODI matches which could become a game changer if he do it.
This is what confused me as well. Absolutely weird. Kohli's captaincy was pretty bad today since he continued depending on the spinners instead of randomising the bowlers. Placed a bet on England today with @2.68 odds So cheering for Buttler & co

We have to appriciate stokes for taking the match away from India but he was unlucky to miss the century by one run who got out for Bhuvi short ball.

I am not too confident to place a bet on England, even in the last match they got a good start and then ended up loosing and this time they have Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan and Moeen Ali are in the team which can make a difference but still i will pass on placing a bet as i lost a few bets placing on England to win in the series and 336 is always a competitive one if they start loosing wickets.

England look like they are screwed once again since 337 is a bigger target when compared to the previous 317. India will probably win the ODI series too at this rate.
Rahul was awesome along with Pant. Hardik's blitz towards the end was satisfying as expected. England are clearly missing Archer while Iyer's replacement(Pant) was the right call.

Majority of team are home track bully and poor visitors. We will see how NZ performs on turner when they tour the subcontinent next time.

Not a good start for India, both openers are back in the pavilion already

If anyone is watching the match between Bangladesh and New Zealand? I am annoyed to see the poor performance of the Bangladesh team. The team is not stable. The squad is changing for every series, and often the batsmen are changing their own batting positions. Yet they are not being able to play well. Moreover, the conflict between their boards and players is nothing new. The board's conflict with the world's best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been going on for a long time. It is not possible to perform well if the problems between the team and the board are not solved properly.
No surprise there. I don't know why people tend to underestimate New Zealand. They are one of the best teams in international cricket right now and they can challenge any of the big 3 nations. They have top batsmen such as Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson, and their pace bowling department is perhaps the best in the world right now (Trent Boult, Kyle Jamieson, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Neil Wagner, Tim Southee.etc). No mate, I didn't underestimate the New Zealand team. They have developed a lot in cricket. They and one of the most powerful squads in the world. Every player on the team is awesome. I am just telling about the Bangladeshi squad and their board. I have no complaints about the New Zealand squad. They have done a great job.

This is a completely one-sided game, there is nothing left to watch. Bangladesh has already lost 8 wickets and they cannot even reach 200. Newzealand is a far better team than Bangladesh, there is no point in comparing them. 2 more ODI left and I am sure NZ will win this series.
I agree with you. The whole series was one-sided. Bangladesh team could not perform well in a single match. In the previous match, although they were able to give a good run target, they lost the match due to poor fielding and poor bowling.
This is good for the Morgan and England team. Morgan is an extraordinary player. He is experienced enough. But, it will take some time to adapt to the weather and the environment and the pitch in India. If he becomes the captain of KKR, he will be able to easily adapt to this environment before the World Cup .
Morgan is a classy player, but he is going through a lean patch now. I hope he will be able to perform well during IPL 2021, for his team (Kolkata Knight Riders). He will be captaining players such as Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shakib Al Hasan, Pat Cummins, Lockie Ferguson and Shubman Gill, which can be quite challenging. But he needs to be 100% fit and I have doubt regarding that after hearing the news about the hand injury.

i am not sure whether he is a part of any IPL team and if that is the case if he is getting the opportunity it will help him out.
Yes he is and luckily he is going to be the captain of KKR for IPL 2021 edition since they are having hard time finding the right captain for that team every year so this year they are going back with one of the successful international captains in their team. i am not sure whether he is a part of any IPL team and if that is the case if he is getting the opportunity it will help him out.

Bangladesh batsmen doesn't have the ability to handle the raw pace and bounce of the New Zealand fast bowlers. Even when Pakistan was touring New Zealand a few months back, their batsmen also faced the same issue. Now there is no quick fix solution for this, as this issue exists for all the South Asian teams (although India has made a lot of progress on this aspect recently, as seen from their recent success in Australia).

In this series, we need to remember that on top of all the other factors, New Zealand is having the home advantage as well. The New Zealand bowlers can be literally unplayable, in the bouncy and green pitches of Auckland and Wellington.
