    What a great game of Cricket, England chase down 350 to win, Root and Morgan both with hundreds.

    Amazing turn around for the ODI team. Should there be a place for Morgan in the test side? The way Ballance was playing then maybe. I would swap Rashid for Moeen too.

    4th best run down in ODI cricket. I'm not really a fan of cricket, but it was compelling viewing. Certainly more entertaining than some of our football performances last season.

    The difference the captaincy and coach change has made to the ODI team has been incredible. Half way there at least in the test team.

    It's been an amazing series, can't wait for the decider on Saturday. The transformation in one day cricket over the last year has been incredible, it's gone from a dying form of the game to the most entertaining.

    This has been a cracking tour by NZ. Two well matched sides, fantastic sportmanship, no aggro, no scandals, exciting to watch and a real credit to cricket and sport in general.

    I hope the decider tomorrow in Durham is a fitting climax to this OD series.

    Agreed. Some great cricket being played by both sides. Dunno who they'll give the Man of The Series award to because there's so many decent perfomances- Root, Morgan, Buttler, McCullum, Southie, Boult, Williamson, Guptil.

    Pity about Trent Boult getting injured because you want to see England up against the best bowlers.

    Win on Saturday and it'll be a massive lift for the Ashes series.

    At the game today (anyone else?) and very tight. Hopefully it will fulfill it's potential as the day moves on. Getting very decent Marston's bitter at members rate of £3.20, so it's going down well.

    it`s the new England, attack even though we`re in the sh1t, but Billings and Bairstow doing okay for the minute, much rather watch this style of cricket tbh

    Duckworth Lewis seems to be against us this series, but at least we're giving it a good go. Watching the highlights now without knowing who has won or if it has finished yet.

    Good finish to what threatened to peter out.

    Fantastic response by England, fantastic series. I don't actually care who won it was just great sport.

    What a great finale to this series, icing on the cake 2 Yorkies getting England over the line.

    I came back from a long bike ride about 6.30 checked the score and we are struggling also. I took a shower then turned on Channel 5 to watch the highlights not knowing the outcome, so was really surprised that we saw it over the line for the win.
