We need to get rid of ABDV, quickly.

Get in there

Gone. Superb bit of fielding that - Woakes run him out off his own bowling.

So who next....?

 

[Super_horns]

Great wok from Root and now our bowlers doing well.

 

[JJH]

Rashid gets Duminy. Could be a fascinating ending this!

 

[blademan89]

Drifting away from us this

 

[JJH]

What a fucking catch!!!!

 

[Saddlerrad]

Great catch, come on then lads!

 

[JJH]

Ill-disciplined shot that - massive wide if he leaves it.

Game on.

 

[JJH]

First ball!!!!!

 

[blademan89]

Rashid you clown

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

If we lose this then we only have ourselves to blame.

Corrected that for you.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Rashid has dropped the game for us there.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Now Woakes is bowling like a tit. Lost our bottle here.

 

[blademan89]

Rash has done us and this over from woakes is wank too

 

[JJH]

Woakes can't handle pressure - get him off. Broad has 4 overs left still, won't be able to bowl the full 10 now.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Corrected that for you.

If Morgan had shown any composure he would have been out shortly after.
Speaking of Morgan failed again big time with the bat and panicking big time as captain right now, his place long term needs to be looked at.

His record with the bat has been outstanding recently before this series hasnt it? However hes irish and should be no where near the team anyway

 

[Ciderhead]

Shocking fielding all round's cost us this. 3 dropped catches, 2 absolute gimme runouts missed.

So frustrating, did so well to even give ourselves a chance in this game and now we've thrown it away.

And people have short memories. Broad's fantastic in Tests but he's never been any good in the one-day arena

 

[Saddlerrad]

Broad shouldn't be playing ODI's anyway...Woakes has shown us what he is made of on the big stage again.

Rashid holds that catch and we are here discussing a great series win, as it is, we will be on the downer for a deciding game on Sunday.

Bit shit really, but it's swings and roundabouts. Imagine the score in this series if we had the same XI and mentally in ODI cricket as we did a year ago.

 

[JJH]

Grand finale on Sunday then. Nice one Rashid.

He goes through long spells where is absolutely dire but then just as he looks like he is about to be dropped produces something special as he did in the last ODI series.

And Morgan

 

[JJH]

Haha, ball that.

 

[Super_horns]

England put in - Roy went early again and Morgan cheaply whilst Root had one life but didn't stay long.

Bit of pressure already on the middle order now...

 

[Ciderhead]

Morgan's got the World t20 to play himself into some form but if he doesn't have a good tournament I can see him being out of the side in the summer. Root to captain, Taylor in at no4, might be for the best long term tbh

 

[Ciderhead]

Maybe someone's got a bet on Hales not getting a hundred?

 

[hodge]

50 plus for Hales in every game, very impressive. Also did they say a new record of most runs in a 5 match series.

 

[Bobbin']

This is great bowling.

Have to hope they can keep the intensity up.
