    Dot and then Bumrah hits it straight up in the air only for Moeen to drop it. Dear oh dear. Won't be the last chance Bumrah gives though.

    Seriously, given how Kuldeep has just whipped the ball off his legs, on what planet do India think that Bumrah is a better batsman than him?

    Something has happened "behind closed doors" between the last match and this one.  It looks like they've been read the riot act by Mott or Buttler.  But neither of them seem to be people who bully and cajole.  Whatever it was, it seems to have worked so far.

    Malan plays on to Bumrah for 16 (16)

    And Root is absolutely plumb first ball. But Root, being Root, chooses to review it

    30-2 off 5

    Stokes, having faced 9 dot balls, tries to play a brain dead shot across the line and is bowled by Shami for a duck. We still have 42 overs FFS

    33-3 off 8

    Suicidal cricket from Stokes.

    And Bairstow is dropped by Kohli at slip
  • Addick Addict
    Addick Addict Posts: 39,935
    Albeit that Kohli probably did quite well to get a hand on it

    listening on TMS so a little behind but that sounded absolutely dreadful by Stokes. Should of never bothered coming back to 50 over cricket.

    Brook must really have upset someone in the camp. His average in this WC is better than Bairstow, Root, Buttler, Stokes, Moeen and Livingstone.

    This isn't T20. We aren't chasing 400. Why did we feel that we had to force things?

    The great news is these players, apart from Willey, is that they have the certainty of anything up to £700k for up to three years and they never even have to play for England again.

    Buttler plays Kuldeep as if he's never seen the spinner in his life. Totally bamboozled. Goes for 10 (23)

    52-5 off 15.1
