    Overall I think it's India's tournament to lose. Their two quicks Kumar and Bumrah are very good and English conditions will suit them.

    Some world class players on show though, the bowlers are in for a tough tournament.

    Bumrah always reminds me of this

    Bangladesh 97-2 off 21.
    Worryingly Woakes bowled 2 overs then limped off.

    Woakes off injured and apart from Wood the seamers have looked ordinary on what is a very good batting track.

    At least Rashy would have bought a wicket or two. We appear to be paying a lot of money for nothing.

    239 for 2.
    We are desperate for a couple of wickets here

    If the Bangladeshis open up they may lose a couple. Shakib is dangerous

    Bangladesh now have two new batsmen at the crease, just what we needed

    Assume they dropped Rashid because they though Bangladesh would play spin better but Ball is not good enough.

    EDIT - I mean Ball has been unlucky, he's on the verge of getting a wicket.

    305 for 6.
    Great last over from Plunkett.

    Shouldn't be a problem to chase 306 down on that pitch, only needs 2 good innings and we have a top 7 who should knock them off comfortably.

    Roy gone.
    Probably better than him hanging around and wasting overs.

    Roy's confidence is shot to pieces. One minute he's going hard at the ball, the next he's trying to scoop a ball in what is just the 3rd over of 50.

    You have to say it was no surprise that Roy holed out. It was looking more likely than not.

    Well he had his "easy game on home soil against Bangladesh" and still failed.

    Bairstow must logically be a better bet for the next game.

    Who are we opening with if Roy was dropped? Buttler?
  • Addick Addict

    Roy must be sitting on the balcony and seeing Root drive a ball effortlessly in the gap for 4 and then Hales clip one of his legs and cut another, both with the same result - and wonder why the hell he is trying to over complicate things.
