  • Getting a little scary now! Weird to waste a Woakes over to finish Mills'
    Malan could have finished the over.

    I thought the same, would have used Malan for 3 balls so Woakes kept his two overs.

    What an excellent double team catch! Sri Lanka giving it a go... just checking it was out though

    Those rare catches on boundaries that need two fielders are one of my favourite occurrences in cricket. 
    So good to watch and such skill and presence of mind on display.
    Brilliant.

    Nice to see Bilbo involved in that catch.

    Shows he was paying attention to Jordan Cox in the T20 final a few weeks back ...

    Honestly this is the worst thing I've ever heard over a sports PA

    I don't want to speak to soon but I reckon Buttler might get man of the match.

    big moments like this you want great fielding, and Buttler just delivered too!
  • Both were pretty set and looking to see SL home, now both gone in 4 balls, leaving 2 completely new batsmen at the crease and yet to face a ball
  • Superb over from Jordan going for only 4 runs.

    England bucked the trend there, but took some exceptional batting from Buttler, and great death bowling fielding. SL gave it a go though, but nice to know that England have it in the bag, and must make other teams look up and take note that we can deliver despite the toss

    Outstanding performance. 
    We are the team to beat.

    Still think we're 10-20 runs shy of a par score, going to have to bowl very well
    I will be amazed if Sri Lanka get 140 on that wicket.
    Never in doubt

    Kinda hope we throw it against the Saffers. Australia would love it

    Morgan is currently ranked the number 16th best T20 batsman in the world. Oh and the one below him is Buttler!
    Which proves the rankings are rubbish. 
    Buttler's my no 1 & Morgan is also right up there for me.

    Buttler is right up there, yes.

    Morgan has been absolutely terrible for a very long time. He was terrible for a long while tonight before he got a couple away. This was his best T20 innings in about a year and it was a run-a-ball 40

    So England are through now then.

    No 2 teams can get more than 8 points & England have a much superior run rate.

    I’m a bit behind on this, but just for clarity in my own mind…

    Assuming SA and Oz win their games in hand, but without absolutely walloping them, am I right in thinking we’ll probably only have to avoid an absolute drubbing against SA to go through due to our very good NRR? (Presumably, as we beat Oz, while Oz beat SA, we would then have all beaten each other, so it can’t go to head to head results?)

    Also presumably, your comment is based on Oz relying on us beating SA because Oz would finish 2nd then, due to having beaten SA, but an SA win against us makes the situation less clear cut?
