    Only 50 minutes over time. Rohit had the medical team on at least three times and there was Billings' injury too but it's still ridiculous. Fines do nothing and it's only doing something like adding a run per minute over that will mean things changing.

    Roy and Bairstow showing the sort of batting that makes you wonder why they aren't the opening pair in T20..........

    This was a very interesting discussion, for those that haven't seen it, explaining why there are so few players in the world that can successfully switch, as openers, between red and white ball

  • Kohli seen directing his players to field in the stands
  • Anyone gonna try and tell me these 2 shouldn't be opening in T20s.

    I get the Buttler argument to some extent, but when you have such explosive players around him I think you can afford to let him do what he does best.

    We've both been singing from the same hymn book in this respect for a while. The opening position is the only one where you can't move Buttler once that decision has been made. You can, however, notionally have him batting at 5 but, depending on the situation, send him in at anything between 3 and 6. That is the difference.

    I think he's a batsman who plays best when it's a case of "see ball, hit ball". Whilst there is no doubt that he is one of our most technically sound batsman, I believe that he overthinks the situation when he has a relatively blank canvas to work with.

  • Here comes the collapse...
  • Billings and Moeen are in having faced two balls between them in this game. Not many more than they have in the last six months.
  • England doing their best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory here
  • Here comes the collapse...
    I think 135-0 to 176-5 is quite a collapse in itself

  • Nice little umpires call there.
    Identical to the one that was turned down for England.
  • Losing from there would be shocking. Roy and Bairstow have put it on a plate for you.
  • 217-6 

    Billings 18 off 22 (sorry I don't rate him)
  • Both Billings and Stokes dismissals were both unnecessary and similar - both tried to drive on the up, sliced across the ball and hit it straight to short cover's midriff 
  • 237-7

    Moeen 30 off 37
  • Have the Curran's batted together for England before?
  • 239-8

    S Curran 12 off 20
  • FFS, I’m so done with this series. It’s like being stuck in Groundhog Day. 
  • What a shit show
  • Have the Curran's batted together for England before?
    didn't last long.
