Buttler caught on boundary for 93

Callumcafc

Buttler out for 93. I'm the curse today.

Alwaysneil

Bad Joss.

Callumcafc

54 needed from 30 balls

Callumcafc

52 from 26... Willey gone for 7 from 12. Wasted too many balls not scoring.

Or is he? Potential front foot no ball.

Decision stands. Out.

Aussie third umpire - what do you expect ?!

Gravesend_Addick

That was a no ball surely?

Callumcafc

14 from 6 balls to win.

McBobbin

Exciting finish. Woakes has surprised me in recent weeks

The_President

What a shot !!! - Plunkett hits last ball for 6 for a tie !!

suzisausage

Oh my god! Didn't see that coming! Match tied

Leuth

Glad I watched this rather than the football

McBobbin

Boooooom!

Leuth

Oh shit, except Spain lost? lol

Alwaysneil

That will teach me for prioritising football and euro debate over the cricket.

I suspect that, as a result of Plunkett's six, he will now get man of the match which he wouldn't have had we lost. Thoroughly deserved though for 95 off 92, a record in ODIs for a number 8, two catches and two wickets.

The_President

It was the 3 off penultimate ball that did it - SL were celebrating when Woakes hit it thinking they'd won ! Should never have got 2 , let alone 3.
