What a way for Wahab to have his ton brought up

 

[kieran_vale]

50 for Morgan in really quick time too.

And Wahab has his 100

 

[RavenBish]

World record has to tumble with these two going like this.

This is like stick cricket

 

[MJA]

6 runs off the final over for the record

 

[RavenBish]

Entire innings is a complete failure if we don't beat that world record now, can't be having a record stand that was hit against Netherlands

 

[Pilgrim Meister]

Pakistan all out in 30 overs for 225 anyone

 

[MJA]

Best over of the game from Pakistan

 

[RavenBish]

Will be funny watching them go for it as they're really not a side made for boundary hitting

 

[MJA]

We're going to miss the record after all of this

 

[MJA]

We're going to miss the record after all of this

Or not

 

[kieran_vale]

World record off the last ball. Superb

 

[JJH]

Drama right until the last ball, highest ever ODI total, that was so enjoyable to watch.

 

[Super_horns]

Surely Pakistan won't get close?

Great effort by Hales and co.

 

[RavenBish]

Wood's getting some serious pace here

 

[kieran_vale]

This will sound petty after that incredible batting performance but some of our fielding is really leaving something to be desired here. One area England need to work at a lot.

Sharjeel playing nicely for Pakistan though, at least that's something for them.

 

[RavenBish]

Piss poor from Captain Innovator here, spinner should've been on 3 overs ago.

 

[Super_horns]

T

Sharjeel playing nicely for Pakistan though, at least that's something for them.

Fortunately Woakes has got him out - they are losing wickets at a regular basis going for it I guess.

 

[hodge]

Fair play Amir

 

[Super_horns]

Big hitting at the end from Amir but credit to the England bowlers.

 

[RavenBish]

Sri Lanka have just given a debut to an 18 year old opener who has never played first-class, List A or T20 cricket before. Oh and he had to face Starc first over...surprisingly it didn't go well.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Suusex 45-4 against Kent Worcester 44-4 v Essex

 

[kieran_vale]

After the excitement of a couple days ago seeing England smash Pakistans bowlers to all parts its been like a throwback to the 90's watching Pakistan bat today. Really highlights how behind the times they are in this form of the game.

 

[Super_horns]

Much changed bowling attack - pretty much the same sort of outcome.

 

[blademan89]

Yorkshire just skittled Hampshire from 199-4 to 222 all out in by far the more important of the 2 games I care about today. Pakistan are truly awful fair play to England though turning into a very good odi team with a lot of options.

 

[RavenBish]

What in fucks name has Morgan just done there. Fucking hell that might be the worst dismissal I've ever seen

 

[kieran_vale]

Resembled a slip catching drill that dismissal. On the positive side Ben Stokes is batting absolutely brilliantly, no surprise there of course.

Which is why we're being heavily overrated at the moment. PAK are probably the worst ODI side around. Yeah we smashed them, but we lost at home to AUS, lost to SA and only just beat NZ.

We ain't better than AUS, IND or SA at the moment. We're only being billed as favourites for the WC because it's at home and we bat down to 11. Our spinners degrade us massively, and as does our captain.

 

[Skinner]

Hales' dismissal was a joke, nearly caught the ball before hand and got out playing the exact same ball with a nick.

We're better now than that Australia series that is for sure. We're better now than the sa series too were progressing brilliantly why be so negative. We were brilliant in the t20 world cup too things are on the up and looking way better than ever in the one day game. Our captain is a good captain but not been in the best form for quite a while. Our spinners let us down a bit I agree but our batting is incredibly good

 

[JJH]

It's worth noting that Rashid and Ali bowled superbly yesterday. It's an area of weakness in all formats of the game for England, but both of them manage to take wickets and Rashid seems to be bowling a far tighter and more accurate line than a year or so ago.
