  • But Buttler could come in and hit 50 off 15 balls whereas Bopara doesn't have that in his locker. Buttler is the unpredictable but potentially explosive player in our line-up, seems silly to waste him to play the safe number six.

    be good to see Buttler & Morgan in for the last few overs .. although Root can have a good bash as well .. I know what you mean though .. if Buttler comes off he's a potential match winner

    With five overs to go, it's surely worth trying... if we lose a wicket of course.
  • I'm sure that will be the case at the next fall .. Buttler will come in .. we have not accelerated as much as I would have hoped
  • S L are always a dangerous batting side, though recent form is not tooooo hot
  • Joe Root has to be one of the most talented youngsters I've ever seen play for England.
  • wait for it .....
  • (great Root knock b t w)

    Bopara!!! Surely not? ffs England

    No it was Buttler, but now Bopara is in anyway. Two wickets in two balls.

  • it's ..... Buttler
    my wish is dashed .. Morgan is out .. 249-5
  • So Morgan out for 13. Who wins the argument from earlier? Riviera or cafcfan1990?

    Oh dear, if Morgan could've reviewed then would've stayed in. Drifting wide of off-stump.
  • Malinga would do Bairstow like a kipper I fear .. but we will never know now
  • Hit outside the line and missing the stumps, never mind billy, 1 out of 3 ain't bad. Why did cook waste the review earlier!
  • Cook used the review up...
  • So Morgan out for 13. Who wins the argument from earlier? Riviera or cafcfan1990?

    haha bad decision though. Agreed - Cook wasted review.
  • Oh dear, if Morgan could've reviewed then would've stayed in. Drifting wide of off-stump.

    Cook's fault for that rubbish review (again) earlier on...
  • how does Bowden keep his job? .. a terrible umpire
  • Buttler out caught behind. Duck.

  • we are imploding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • In comes Bresnan to bash it about a bit.

    Looking more like 270 now after all that hard work. :-(
  • In comes Bresnan to bash it about a bit.

    we hope
  • One day we're going to put on a monster score. Last 3 games, first one ended as planned, next two the innings has started as planned, just need a game were both happen.
  • 254-7, Bresnan bowled.
  • 280 is a nice score. I hold we get to that
  • Malinga next over won't make it easy. 270 is optimistic now we're 7 down.
  • 276 I reckon

    That's not England's strategy though - it seems to be bat steadily for the first 40 overs at around 4.5-5 an over and then accelerate over the last ten.

    The idea being to guarantee a decent score to bowl at but not necessarily one that'll set records.
