Unlucky that, looked to be quite obviously going down leg to me.

Good innings nonetheless, time to back up his good work now.

Umpire's call is far too biased towards umpires, it's either out or not, none of this umpire's call bollocks.

Geoffrey Boycott just said - 'If you wanted to make him laugh, you'd ask him why he didn't catch it properly'

The poor bloke has a finger on a 90 degree angle with blood pouring out of it :fl:

'Play without fear' one said, and we've gave it a bloody good go in the last 10 overs.

309-6 after 50.

Happy with that - worth staying up for.

It's an achievement every time England surpass 300

Good finish there, good innings from Root and Buttler, Taylor chipped in a bit too

Decent knock overall - think we should be disappointed it wasn't closer to 330 but Morgan, Bell and Ballance dicking around in the middle-overs will see to that.

Defendable but easily chase-able too, reckon it's about even stevens.

It's criminal that Buttler comes in at 7 in this batting line-up.

Some shite bowling throughout, a lot of it at the death, very inaccurate and undisciplined.

If he comes in earlier and doesn't hit a big score you are screwed. The last 10 overs is when big runs are scored and his role as finisher suits him down to the ground.

Pretty much. Buttler's future clearly doesn't lie as a 7 in ODIs, I actually wouldn't be surprised if someone fancied experimenting with him as an opener, in T20 to begin with, because of how he plays the short ball and pace in general. But in this side, with how flimsy the batting order is anyway, his role is perfect for him. People can't kid themselves into thinking this innings is the norm either, he's been utterly underwhelming as an international batsman for me so far - plenty of potential but he's your cricketing version of a lower league winger, a 1 good game in 10 type.

Stop talking about Hales at fucking 3 :mad: - the idea that they'd open with Bell instead of Hales is utterly absurd.

These guys have no fucking passion. 310 to defend and are still going through the motions.
