Good grief this is tedious.. Was it 24 overs to reach 100.

English cricket (all forms) is becoming an embarrassment.

New players but the same old issues?

Guess they need time to adjust against a strong side.

Or maybe we will be slow starters again like v the Aussies?

It's the whole balance of the side that's a mess. You can't just stack the side with all-rounders or bowlers that bat abit. We need a couple more batters in there. I know root, stokes, brook, duckett ect are unavailable due to playing in test series and buttler is injured but they could have picked a couple of extra batters like Sam Hain or tom banton instead of someone like overton that's a pointless selection to me. Out the 11 that played yesterday Adil Rashid is the one in the team that has the most one day runs which is all you need to know about the team we selected to play.

Good day to hide a bad defeat potentially.

Based on what I've seen of Jordan Cox so far in an England shirt he looks out of his depth at international level. He is going be playing the 3 tests as a wicketkeeper batter instead of smith at the new Zealand tour. Smith has done well so far at international level but Cox looks dreadful.

Making a good fist of things at the moment.

113 needed off 13 overs.

But with 4 down really on the edge.
