The England Cricket Thread

Didn't agree with that third umpire decision from the LBW appeal there. There was no proof he hit it so should have gone to ball tracking. Luckily for the 3rd umpire that was umpire's call anyway.

Bangladesh won't chase this down. India have a quality attack at the death.

2 for 121. I don't think the Bangers can win this, but their resistance to Indian spin and pace is impressive.

Could be a thrilling finish here if they keep Shaifuddin on strike.

Kelt · 2 Jul 2019 at 18:33

Bang, bang...all out.

Sankari · 2 Jul 2019 at 19:59

Wow, the Bangers gave India a real scare! There's no shame in losing by a mere 28 runs.

We've made a good start at least. Bairstow's in beast-mode already.

England will win the world cup if it doesn't rain before the final. They just can't bat on a heavy wicket.

Sankari · 3 Jul 2019 at 11:22

Yikes, Bairstow has been on the roids again.

Yet another century partnership for the pair. Really need to get Roy in for the Ashes.

About to comment how well it was going......

Sankari · 3 Jul 2019 at 11:58

1 for 125, I fear the Kiwis have been batted out of this game already.

Kelt · 3 Jul 2019 at 12:12

Early days yet, this is such a good batting pitch, who knows what is a good score.

I'd settle for around 380 though

Oh yeah, they're a huge threat. Their seam attack is fantastic in my eyes.

Like I said

Cob · 3 Jul 2019 at 12:37

Tbf they're missing their best bowler.

Sankari · 3 Jul 2019 at 12:43

^^ Even so, I am genuinely surprised by the toothlessness of the Kiwi attack. I expected to see four wickets down by now.

Cob · 3 Jul 2019 at 12:45

Maybe. Only one 6 so far so they're not exactly smashing it around.

Let's see if Bairstow can get a big one now.

Cob · 3 Jul 2019 at 12:50

Right Jos, wind it up.

McGray · 3 Jul 2019 at 12:54

Good to see Butler promoted to 4.

SoliD · 3 Jul 2019 at 12:59

Doh! Another top 100 from Bairstow, England need a little reset and settle before smashing on after 40 overs.

Kelt · 3 Jul 2019 at 12:59

Damn, Bairstow goes early after his century again.

Great innings though.

Morgan needs a captain's innings now, watch the bouncers buddy!
