310 is roughly what I've said we need to chase amongst mates. Anything more than that is a bit tall - we've generally agreed that a chase of 310-330 would be a cracking prospect.
Great chance if we can keep them below 300, looked like they were going to get 330 min but now we have pulled it back a bit. Could be a great game on our hands
Come on England, I'm working from home today, so need to send out a random, previously drafted email to appear busy.
Already been to daughter's sports day, and had to take part in the dad skipping race. It's a "mixed" intake so was left standing by a few highly athletic Africans and 20 year old tradesmen. Had to settle for the private battle between me and and the ancient IVF dad, which I lost.
Considering how poorly England bowled in the first 20 over this has been a really good comeback. 330 plus looked on the cards earlier on.sandpaper boys cocked it up big time.
Really don't get not bowling Stokes more - his 5 overs have only gone at 3 an over
Absolutely and now bowling Archer who's not fit and going round the park.
Agree Archer has struggled today, not really bowling great lines and might be down to his injury it would have been better bowling him less in hindsight.

At 173-1 in the 33rd over with Finch in and Smith and Maxwell to follow i thought they'd be getting 330-340.
To restrict them to 285-7 is good for us.
No idea why we didn't let Stokes bowl more overs though.
Based on the first half of the innings, 285 is a low score. Based on how they struggled in the second half, it seems a decent score.
