So that's 2 LBWs for Cook and Moeen was bowled (sort of...) but not out, even with this luck they're going at 4 an over!

[Stuey]

He is on the BBC site too, what are England playing at?

It's all part of the master plan   

[ppccopener]

we are on fire!!!!

but can it last...

[WalkingWicket37]

Moeen going along nicely here
Cook is, urrrm, being Cook...

What time is the collapse scheduled today? 

[WalkingWicket37]

3rd time LBW for Cook, here we go!

Moeen seems to be cementing that opener position pretty well...can't see Hales getting in now

[smilley792]

Hales-Ali could be our finch-Warner!


Cook out.

[Joycey]

Surely, its time to give somebody else but Cook a go.

[Stuey]

Cook is becoming the ODI equivalent of the ECB's faithfull old dog. He's been in the family for years, can't control it's bladder, limps in 3 legs, blind in both eyes, deaf as a post, but they just can't bring themselves to put him down (metaphorically speaking).

Hales-Ali could be our finch-Warner!


Cook out.

Don't think the men in charge would allow such tactics.

I think Cook and Ali is a good partnership. Cook can go along at 75-80 strike rate, Ali over 100. Better to have someone in and making runs steadily, than keep losing weeks most games but the odd game make 100.

Ali hitting 6's for fun now...

that collapse,,,, is about to begin, get the popcorn out!

[Buzz]

why has Buttler come in before Bopara in this situation?

We need an experienced head to work the ball around and get us to the next power play - Jos is a wonderful player and will be brilliant, but give him a chance please!!

Brainless from England

(If Jos now goes and scores a hundred, I will be honour bound to delete the post like it never happened)

playing on Saturdays we say don't lose wickets in clusters especially if one of us is 80 odd not out

If Bopara actually comes in at 9 like the scorecard says I'm following Bermuda from now on!

[jwebber86]

England to lose by 60 with bopara making a quick 25 and running out of partners if he bats at 9
