Those horns are infuriating to say the least!

As was that stumping. Giving away a big hundred innings, I feel.

300 looks to be the limit.
And that dirge from the ground...

Well impressed I can watch it down here in Oz, though the picture quality is poor. Though want to keep swapping to Australia, ****stan have a great chance to roll them at the MCG

I can't listen to TMS due to the horns so watching it muted on the TV

Good acceleration there. May be just enough.

India having a wobble. Kohli next to go?
Edit: good response - boundaries aplenty
(Hopes to jinx it)

350 was a good score, not out of sight. We don't seem able to squeeze them at all.

Yeah; current partnership looks untroubled. Ones and twos, and punishing the poorer bals. Only chance if they get lazy or we get a run out.

The stats are quite interesting - batsmen top of the league, bowlers bottom, for England.

I do enjoy it when Ben Stokes gets bored and does his whole "HULK SMASH!" style of play.

Low scoring T20s I often find the most interesting. I think England let Raina get away with 4 easy overs today.

I'm on a day off in St Lucia - tried to get a flight to Antigua to watch the game but failed.

Good score; how the dropping of Morgan must rankle! Now back home to watch the Windies' batting display on crictime.

It's a far cry from the days when the first international match of a WI tour was a Test on a shiny, glassy Sabina Park 'wicket' with thousands of fans yelling, screaming and dancing all over about an inch from the boundary.

Nowadays all the Windies players want to do is get picked for a twenty over slog-fest in India or Australia so they can strut around and chat up and try to shag female commentators. It's lamentable for a side (never a nation) that used to only unite to steamroller all comers on a cricket pitch. To be honest, they did a fair amount of shagging back in the day, it's just that they actually played some proper cricket as well.

Scary bowler, lovely man!

Aussies have let themselves down again then. Particularly the skipper, who I dislike more than any cricketer in memory.

It seems they have been looking to and getting guidance from the dressing room on DRS referrals, presumably with the dressing room seeing the first replay and deciding whether to refer on that basis. And in a Trumpesque moment of fake news, Smith claims it was 'brain fade'. No mate, it was cheating and you only admitted it once Llong spotted it and told you to get lost.

Oops then?

CricInfo...

Dez: "Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please sen in Buttler next! If Wi manage to take a wicket that is..." Brace yourself Dez... all will be revealed ...

Jimbo: "If Buttler cannot put up a score off of this platform, he deserves to be dropped. Especially with such a competent wicket keeper waiting for his chance." Now now, play nice

[b]Holder to Buttler, OUT, smashes the stumps! Full and straight, Buttler attempted the ramp once more, but got no bat in the way, and was too far across his crease to preserve his timbers[/b]

And another on the other side.

Spent a fair bit of time in Barbados, and some of the other islands, and the appetite and passion for cricket is palpable over there. It makes me sad to see WI cricket in such a parlous state.

Having grown up with the likes of Sir Viv, Malcolm Marshall, Curtley and Courtney and so on. Seeing it like this is sad.

It surely is a fantastic setting.
Renshaw must surely be rueing those dropped catches; I reckon India will win in the final day. Bit closer home to you, I reckon the weather will determine the NZ v. SA one.

Yep with Smith gone its flowing towards India at the moment, not keeping up with the others though. Only got 40mins of this one before I hop on the plane, hope it's good

It's a stunning ground, isn't it?

That said, I've always wanted to play/spectate with a few glasses of something at Wormsley.
