This isn't looking good at the end.


Ali has been poor, no idea on the short ball.

Willey, plunkett, should both be batting before him in these situations.

We are 2 weeks away from not having to tour the subcontinent for centuries, thank God

Mo shows he's weakness against the short ball.

Ali love him as a player but he has not been weak against the short ball on this tour. He has been weak against it in tests and one dayers since he started playing. Absolutely baffling to me why he has batted higher than 7 in any format.

We are very close to being a good side who can compete for a 50 over trophy. Dawson may be worth a try left arm over or try to get Root to burgle a few of the 50 overs when he gets back in.

That would leave a space for billings, or, a specialist batsman baistow(alright @Manormanic ).

Stokes has been to great to watch in these sort of situations, graft

Playing for his average, trying to get down the non strikers end.

English type pitch  34 off 20 good but not great.

Think 328 is a good score on here. Movement for the seamers throughout the innings. England should cruise this even with the dew later

Give him some credit man, top knock by a no.8 in the circumstances

So are we saying Stokes was poor too

Woakes strike rate better than Stokes in this innings

[rickjames]

I love the big swinging Willey

What?! That was a class knock, especially compared to Ali. So underrated.

Playing out like it has done in the previous two games
