    This will be a test now. Moeen needs to play the right sort of innings now, no careless shots

    Let’s just say I don’t have much faith in Moeen here.

    Is there an argument for sending Woakes in ahead of Moeen in a situation like this? I can't help thinking that Moeen just wants to tee off and doesn't actually know how to rotate without giving it up.

    Actually I think we need someone to tee off. We need boundaries now.

    Well quite. If he has a go and gets out, Woakes comes in. Win/win.

    Exactly. I would have gone Woakes if we needed 100 off 90.

    This game has been so frustrating. Every time we get the momentum we throw it away.
  • That's the game I think

    Gee whizz Moeen is batting like a real tail ender not someone who has opened in international cricket

    We just looked too lethargic today IMO, in the field and batting (outside of Root and Butter)

    Happy to get that bowling performance out of the way. I don’t think neither Rashid or Archer will bowl as poorly all tournament, not in the same match anyway.

    Woakes > Ali 

    At least on current form.

    We need 2 a ball minimum, still four wickets, time to swing for the proverbial fences?

    Shame to say it but if we had a chance of winning this Moeen had to go

    You could make an argument for putting Rashid above Ali right now. Just not confident at all.

    Woakes out

    29 off 12.

    Looking for a miracle.
  • Will Pakistan have one of their good days today?
    Would be a rare one - they haven't won for 13 matches!
    Typical England. We were pre-tournament favourites, they're hopeless........
