[six and out]

Woakes is becoming quite the death bowler. I really think playing in the IPL and doing that job for KKR last year has done him the world of good.

And the more Curran bowls at the end the more experience he gets of different situations.

That Bairstow six was massive!

This is YJB's highest ODI score since his 141* at the Ageas Bowl in September

While his average looks healthy he hasn't been prolific since becoming a regular, has he...

[Manormanic]

He's been decent but has got out when set a few times. I'm less worried by that because it's not a James Vince identikit dismissals type scenario.

[rickjames]

He's made that ton look so so easy

[petehosk]

Hales will have a bit of a wait to get a look-in again!!

[petehosk]

Does anyone think this match is setup perfectly for Morgs, Buttler, Stokes, Ali & Co!
40 ball ton for Buttler maybe?

[Manormanic]

This could be a silly number...

[rickjames]

Beating 444-3 would be nice

[petehosk]

Blimey! I don't have Sky so am listening on 5-Live! Sounds painful.
Plus they need to find overs from lesser bowlers too! And the real fire-power batsmen haven't even come out to bat yet.

Oooh, a wicket!
Who is coming in next?

[Manormanic]

Buttler. Striking at zero.

[WalkingWicket37]

Wow...
England showing they're still kings of the collapse

[billyb]

Such a disappointing collapse, too. Poor shots and a lack of patience/discipline from Buttler, Stokes, Morgan, Woakes and Ali undoing the excellent work of Roy, Root and Bairstow.
Buttler and Stokes didn't give themselves a chance!

[billyb]

Thank god for Tom Curran. Possibly vital runs at the death.

We do love a collapse don't we.

We had a good start by getting ridding of the openers but the collapse has cost us the match. Fair play to Taylor though what an innings he's produced.
