    Bopara FFS. How many more times? If he does well today we'll end up playing him.

    I think Bopara is a better option than Woakes with bat and ball, sadly... We're crying out for a proper all rounder.

    On what grounds? Bell is on 50 and has provided stability. I doubt Wright could have done the same when the two "rocks" have both fallen around him.

    I like this about Bell, he has the ability to turn the screw and score runs quickly as he uses his feet well and comes down the wicket; he is a good player of spin. However he can also be patient and hold an end if wickets a falling.

    It is unfortunate that he has not made any of his recent starts count, in both ODI's and tests, with a host of 20's and 30's. I don't mean to tempt fate but let's hope he turns this 50 into something meaningful as it will hopefully give him the confidence he needs going into the Champions Trophy.

    Typically you double the score at 30 overs to give the 50 over score, so looking like the 250 mentioned above. However, we do have plenty of wickets in hand, so 260-280 could be gettable.

    bells going well and good luck to him but i find that with cook trott and him at the top of the order we never get an aggressive start and yes he doesnt make enough good starts count ..we cant drop the skipper and trott has been more consistent IMHO

    Running between the wickets has been superb this innings.

    Typical Bell dismissal - lazy shot when he had his eye in.

    so today he got more than Trott and Cook but just when Bell was needed to make a game changing contribution he gets out to a shot like that .....if i was his skipper id be very unhappy with him (i had to edit what id originally typed)

    Bopara edges one wide of slip, hits one a couple of inches short of a catch, then is dropped by the bowler. At least he's looking in better form than usual :-)


    NB Hopefully he will now get a decent score :-)

    When he gets going, you can't defend against Buttler.
