  • Was watching the Strictly final, so not really paying attention to the England innings. When Brook came out to bat, it looked a long shot for us to win.
    Ditto ! 

    Oh me of little faith.....
    Much to the wife's dismay, she got outvoted by the two cricket fans in the household (Seb is a friend of Akeal Hosein's brother  so even more reason for him to watch the game). We did record Strictly and watch it afterwards but, as the "Fat Remote Controller", I think that it's fair to say that I might have skipped the odd bit here and there!  
  • Away from England, Nathan Lyon has gone past 500 wickets. An incredible record for a non subcontinent finger spinner.
  • Phil Salt will keep wicket tonight, Buttler just playing as a batsman
  • Salt 50* from 23 balls
  • Phil Salt will keep wicket tonight, Buttler just playing as a batsman
    A good decision and a massive pressure lifted. Far easier to direct operations and speak to the bowler from extra than as keeper.

    Should get a very good score from here 
  • The only way that ball was missing was if the ball was going under the stumps. Talk about a waste of a review. 
  • 48 ball ton for Salt
  • Second ton on the bounce from Salt - this one off 48 balls. Bairstow might have to carry the drinks in the WC. 
  • Should get a very good score from here 
    Record books are being dusted off as we speak.............

  • Salt bowled for 119 off 57 balls
  • Finish on 267-3 which is the second highest score by any ICC full member in T20 cricket. Good toss to lose.

    With a score of 267 to defend, I'd be surprised if Buttler has too much stress captaining England in the field!
  • Looking at the teams above us, Hangzhou cricket ground looks batsman friendly  :D

    Have just looked it up - it's known as the Zhejiang University of Technology Cricket Field or the Hangzhou Cricket Ground, Pingfeng Campus Cricket Field. Dare not think what the capacity of their field.
