We all knew England had the batting covered but it is interesting how these bowlers are going considering Archer is on the sidelines watching on.

Badly seems to be the answer. This might be the game that nails down his spot.

Pakistan probably going to come up short but England's bowlers today were average at best. Archer is needed in the WC squad for sure

Think Pakistan will take more positives as they aren't seen as a strong batting side... great game...

We won!

Which is a good thing but not the end of the world if we lost. As at the end of the day this series is more about getting our Lads in form and selections down for the World Cup than it is to win this series.


For England on a good day this was probably a 400 plus pitch, but Jason Roy getting some form and time in the middle was needed, so his unusually slow and very nervous looking start was more about getting him time in the middle than us a big score.

Biggest shock was probably willie bowling well at the death. Good for him, but archer still has to be first of the pace bowler on the team sheet.

Said it before but we can score runs but Pakistan got mighty close.
We regularly concede big scores.
Looks like Archer has that bit extra we need to challenge for the trophy.

Who gets left out perhaps is for another day.

But he's in by the looks of it  :)

I think woakes may be struggling for form.
Looking forward to seeing wood and archer playing on the same team with willy and stokes.

Archers nailed on that's why he don't play  not only does he give England the pace they have been missing  he has the lot bouncers Yorkers  etc plus he can do a  bowling job for England at the start middle or death.
Willey without any cloud cover to assist him and on a flat pitch was Englands   best bowler yesterday

Yes  also got lucky with the wicket on Morgan's review  off the toe end of the bat batter should have left it  and had a wide

That's cricket! We've all been out chasing a wide one!

It was a very good review, you can't criticize woakes for a batters mistake

Your right  got away with  it against the tail but  at the top level you need to do more than bowl wide of the stumps to stop a  top order batter scoring  Pakistan were disappointed that the umpire only called one wide in that last over

Anyone who saw the match notice the state of the ball? Seems some inconclusive pictures of one side of the ball being very ragged when we were bowling...

A lot of Pakistan fans on Facebook are accusing Plunkett of messing with the ball using a video of him rubbing the seam and a unlinked photo of the side of the ball. Agreed the ball looked in shocking nick but if that much damage was caused by finger scratching then they need to look at the manufacturing of the balls. The ball to me looked like it was ruined by being hit out and on to concrete etc.

Either way the ICC have came out and said there will be no investigations so as I said I think it’s more a problem with the durability of the ball.
