    Salt edges behind for 2 (4). Big test for Buttler and Brook

    For all the focus being on Buttler, others have shown very little form with the bat. Salt, for one, has 125 runs in 7 innings to date.

    Buttler out for a duck, caught behind off Ferguson. He really is a rabbit in headlights at the moment

    2-2 (1.2)

    Butler needs to be dropped, he looks a total mess at the moment. No foot movement and wafting at anything bowled anywhere!

    Buttler now has 15 runs in his last 5 innings.

    Henry has the ball on a string. Will do well to see him off.

    Or, as Brook has just done, hit him for a four and a six off consecutive balls!

    Harry Brook just broke the massive scoreboard with next to no effort

    47-2 (6)

    Brook and Bethell starting to get on top. Difficult wicket to start on so important they take it fairly deep.

    Not a great shot from Brook. Hits it, in-to-out, straight down the throat of Mitchell off Phillips first ball for 26 (24)

    50-3 (7.1)

    Oh my word! Bethell smashes a full-blooded shot off Ravindra only to be taken by an absolutely magnificent diving forward catch an inch off the ground by Phillips

    58-4 (8.4)

    100-5 (14.3)
  • Banton is a goner. Doesn’t look good.

    Banton holes out too for 33 (24) off a long hop from Ravindra

    117-6 (16.5)

    A 22 run over, exactly what we needed to stay in the game

    Tense finish coming

    What a cameo from Rehan

    Jacks with 32 off 18 and a brilliant cameo from Rehan with 19 off 7 take England home to win by 4 wickets with 3 balls to go

    pretty easy
  • Very good win that.

    Well done Jacks and Ahmed.

    (Still need to drop Buttler).

    Well done Will Jacks and Rehan Ahmed. Onto the semi finals with a perfect 3 win record in the Super Eight stage.

    that last partnership was something else

    Rehan seems to be ok for this format !!
