    I think its got to the stage now where Buttler should be dropped - he's just a liability .

    I really cannot understand why Moeen bats so low down the order. Besides being man of the match in t20 so in form, I think he was third top run scorer in Ashes (after Root and Cook).
    Our potential match winner was effectively left stranded again. He should in my opinion bat ahead of Butler (who is brainless) and Stokes (who is very inconsistent at best).

    Butland plays for Stoke :smile:

    Good over from Morgan there.

    England need 97 to win from 60 balls.

    & Plunkett hits his first boundary. :-)

    242-9.

    Starc comes on to huge boos and then bowls Plunkett first ball. That was fun while it lasted.
