NZ will have to get up to 260-ish to give themselves a chance. 

If they don't, I suspect this final could be over within 10 overs of England's innings.

Not as awful as Guptill decision to review.

i think it's great that a fixed number of reviews adds another 'tactical' dimension to the game with regard to what/when to take another look at - object lesson for football and VAR to be had there

but of course that would be a measured, sensible, intuitive approach to things and not just pander to the shrieking harpies who simply can't get enough witless controversy and screaming twattery, so it'll never happen...

A few disappointing aspects to that innings for NZ - use of review, batsmen getting in but not putting up big scores, lack of aggression at points - but just about competitive.
From a neutral's perspective, early wickets needed to keep it interesting. If England start anything like they did against Australia then it's not going to make for much of a game (not that they'll care!).

Was shocked he didn’t put his finger up there

Could well be a trophy deciding decision. 

As I said, 1 bad decision from Erasmus, 1 debatable one. 

Combined, that's horrendously bad luck for New Zealand.
