    Weird scheduling, we play T20s next week against India on Tuesday and Friday, when Wednesday and Thursday are both football free days when cricket could get much more of an audience and interest.
    Indeed the Tuesday match clashes directly against the England Columbia game

    I'm sure nobody predicted we'd still be in it ;)

    Either it's a really tough pitch, or that's a terrible total...

    I recorded it and just watched it.
    We played the spinners well & Hales was excellent (complete opposite of the last match).

    Ind 155-3. Should be a good end! Ind need 44 from 24 balls.

    I hope Stokes was deemed unfit to bowl at the end, otherwise it was crass captaincy by Morgan. Stokes had been the best bowler and IIRC had only gone for about 10 off 2 overs. Ball & Willey had been carted around the park & yet Stokes wasn't bowled and surprise surprise we lost.

    And Jordan was shite as ever.
    This coming ODI series is going to be a tad different than the one against our cousins from Down-Under and may well put into perspective our true standing in regards to next years WC.

    142-4 off 27. The spinner K Yadav doing the damage, so far he's bowled 5 overs and taken 3-12!

    216-7 off 45

    Kuldeep finishes with 6-25

    Stokes 50 came off 103 balls - the slowest for an England batsman since Collingwood in 2005

    Buttler seems to be the only one who can pick him, I imagine his time in the IPL helped
