not the first time we have imploded after a rapid start, i think its where we miss root the most in games like this. Morgan looked like a walking wicket from the moment he got out there and 3 is too high for stokes. would like to have seen buttler coming in a 3 instead

This is where the Curran brothers can show their value; their ability to bat.

That’s the game. Brain dead cricket from England after that start.

Bhuvi is so amazing doing what he does! If he would have been born in the UK, he would have bagged loads of wickets. He is so brilliant at moving the ball just enough!

Morgan confirming we are not deviating from the plan of the WC over here and will continue the same style.

That's fine.....but that makes Joe Root even more important to this team....if that's even possible.

In the absence of Root I can't help thinking Malan is at least worth a game to see how he gets on.decent experience and does take time to play himself in.

Morgan is too stubborn for his own good.

Textbook ODI opening from Roy and Bairstow, fantastic to watch. What a terrible performance from such a terrific start.

India has a very strong middle-order now and their top-order was already exceptional.

England's middle-order is just not working.

Morgan has every right to be stubborn and make mistakes. He is in a "build" phase for the T-20 WC. I'd give him time.

At 135/0 I thought it was home and hosed...switch back on a bit later and it wasn’t the case. Definitely a bad loss but not all that important in the immediate future

I’d like him to start scoring runs again, and also to welcome Hales back in to the fold. He’s served his punishment, and now is the time to reintegrate him in to both the T20 and ODI sides. He’s one of our best white ball players, and needs to be in the side of we’re going to challenge for the WC. Morgan needs to get over it and do what’s best for the team. It was for the best that he was kicked out a couple of years ago, and now it’s for the best that he comes back. The much vaunted deep batting line-up isn’t actually that deep.

I’m all for it being a “build” phase, but it doesn’t take a genius to see that the Jedwards are passengers in this side. It’s worrying  that we have been walloped by India over the last couple of weeks, and they aren’t even playing their two best white ball bowlers in Bumrah and Jadeja. We’re going to arrive at the WC with zero idea who should be in our strongest XI.

Without joe root, the middle order looks spineless.
Like they say, one dayers are won in the middle overs and england's problem is they have all these middle order batsmen who only want to deal in 4's and 6's by playing shot in the air and dont want to nudge the singles.
in the powerplay, they are brilliant but they also want to bat with the same gear in the middle overs.
too often times we have seen the likes of roy and bairstow look so good in the powerplay, and not convert their start into big scores as they keep on playing shots in the air.
stokes just isn't a no. 3 batsmen. he needs to go down to 5 or 6 which suits his aggressive batting style. someone like malan can be a good replacement at no. 3 if root is not available.

someone was saying out here, silverwood taking the team backwards and i totally agree with him. all this BS of rotation policy is still going on. You have the likes of stokes, who plays all tests, t20s and and one dayers and don't need a rest but u have joe root your no. 1 batsman in onedayers who needs to be rested. crazy BS rest policy.

Glaring hole in the side was no Root. He brings stability to the team, while others have the freedom to go all out. They should have picked someone to do that role and Malan is the obvious choice for me.

Billings is a good player, but rarely if ever wins a game single handed. He's not even the best batsman in the Kent team.
