    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.

    Bopara!!! Surely not? ffs England

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

    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.

    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's fault for that rubbish review (again) earlier on...

    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.

    280 is a nice score. I hold we get to that
  • Callumcafc
    Callumcafc Posts: 63,786
    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.
