He's done alright there, but he's also got very lucky with the first four all heading well down leg, can't believe the batsman didn't just step inside them.

Well Jordan's just proved me wrong!

Why doesn't Jordan do this the whole time?

We are chasing 3, why not send root and Vince out to nudge and nurdle it.


Why send two hitters out?

Anticlimax over whatever it is.

Though this match was a dead rubber, it turned out to be a very interesting contest. Malik pulling a stunner of an innings and Jordan pulling things back in super over. Super stuff and England look well prepared for world t20 now.

Bizarre not sending Malik back in for the super over, coaches seem to overthink a lot of decisions to me. On the other hand I thought eng had the right 3 batting.

He has on this occasion but just like Woakes.. they will both get another 30 games on the back of one good game out of 20.... Don't get me wrong, I like both players BUT I don't think they are good enough for the T20 in India. Why doesn't Jordan bowl that length and direction every over? I know its a hard skill but Malinga has had a pretty good career out of doing that...

Also Joe Root in T20... not for me.. this lad is the future of English cricket so why risk burn out and injury when we have plenty of young players coming through.. He has stopped bowling because of his bad back so why not give James Taylor, Jonny Bairstow, Nick Gubbins, Sam Billings, Karl Brown etc a go?

Malik got out just a few mins (Over 19.5)  before super over. So Afridi might have thought he is too tired to go and whack again ...

Preserving Root from burn-out is definitely a good option. Certain amount of player rotation provides good rest and recuperation period. Root has carried the team in the test series at home. He deserves a good amount of rest.

Jordan did a good job today. Handling pressure of the situation is the main factor here and he did that very well. Since he never succumbed to pressure, his line and length was amazing to watch. It would have been interesting to see if Afridi had scored a boundary or six of the first ball of Jordan's over.

What would the outcome have been if England had matched Pakistans 3/1 ? A super super over?

goes on most boundaries hit in innings and super over combined
