I think we're seeing why Inglis has the gloves. That decision has got little to do with their respective keeping skills but more to do with their ability in the outfield.
That was appalling from Buttler. One of the best white ball players in the world shouldn't be hitting it straight to a man like that.
It's a game of Jeopardy and at this stage, he needed to go after Maxwell; he just got it wrong.
It was execution but he also knew exactly where the man was. It has probably cost us 30 plus runs because those coming in after him have little time to pick up the pace.
India win by 6 wickets with 21 balls to spare. Gill becomes the fourth player in just two matches in the competition to score a ton which is something that we have consistently failed to do in recent matches. Time for at least one of our seven batsmen in the team to do so.
We understand why he did it but that has to be the worst review of all time - the ball hitting the middle of middle stump. Magnificent effort with the bat for 165 off 143 balls.
A decent score but we will be disappointed with that final power play given we had the platform and managed just 84-4 off those final 10 overs especially with the "part timers", Labuschagne and Maxwell, bowling half of them. Root and Livingstone will have to do a similar job for us.

Brook 3 c Carey B Zampa

Zampa is getting his eye in as England need to accelerate.
Mindless ?
The over Root was out was the best over bowled and he only conceded 1.
There are showing respect to Zampa but the overs are going.
Great 6 by Duckett with the free hit !

Neither Brook, Butler or Livingstone could stay in long enough with the sublime Ben Duckett.
Carse 7

Definitely not a bad score but as Mr one lung said early doors it feels like 40 odd runs short on this track.
Archer, Wood and Carse need to be accurate or else the extras will be a high score after seeing England's innings
Looked a 390/391 type pitch to me….
4 good balls but the 2 balls more to leg went for 4 on this fast outfield.
Good start by the England pace men and we probably need to bowl them out to win despite getting 350.
