[Psycho Ned]

Right then buckle in this session will decide it!

Not clenching my bum just yet

 

[Sankari]

Well cover my giddy aunt with good gravy, that's Stokes gone! Amazing scenes!

 

[robfosters]

Another quick wicket and it’s panic stations

 

[fez]

Ruh roe

 

[SoliD]

Still a long way to go.

My bum is now firmly clenched, and squeaky.

Bairstow has a chance to redeem himself now but so far in this innings, he looks utterly unconvincing.

 

[el_dazza]

There's the 6th wicket, classic England collapse incoming?

 

[robfosters]

That’s it, we ain’t getting 80 runs with the tail

 

[Participant]

Bairstow showing how much he cares about the IPL here. He'll be dropped now surely.

 

[Sankari]

England to win by two wickets, you heard it here first.

 

[fez]

******* hell England. Without Stokes scoring we are utterly abject.

 

[adidan]

I still have hope but Bairstow has to go, he neither bats nor keeps rekiably as well as he should.

 

[Purdy]

Bairstow is garbage all round

 

[robfosters]

I’d love a Jos Buttler in this position

 

[Tinders]

What’s happened to Jos anyway? Injured or out of favour.

 

[Psycho Ned]

They gambled on Bairstow as he was in cracking form before he snapped his leg in half playing golf but we had a proper keeper in Foakes ready to go and I think it has proven to be the wrong call as dodgy keeping has cost us far more in this series than any runs Bairstow could have got.

 

[Sankari]

England to win by four wickets, you heard it here first.

 

[Barry Weiss]

England to win by four wickets, you heard it here first.
