Woakes top scorer and now out. Ffs.
Another stellar performance
A pair for Warner!
On that alone this is a successful tour!
England still in the game here (for now), which is a success in the context of the series! 6fer for Mark Wood also - well deserved.
It's the hope...
You know we’re **** when folk are hoping a new hairstyle will change things for us
I’ve seen this one before. 90-2 will rapidly become 114-7.
I realised Sam Billings does the annoying Labuschagne-style mannerisms so we deserve further humiliation anyway.
No matter the final result, but it’s nice to have a game on in the final innings.
It is, but I can’t help but feel any expectation of victory is rapidly slipping away with that second wicket. I know ‘expectation’ is a crazy word to use, but our middle order really has the chance to see out this victory if they show some balls.
And Crawley goes immediately after.
shortbread more accurate than winviz
Game definitely over now
That collapse, from a position of relative authority, was worse than any other on this tour. Absolutely shambolic.
I almost stayed in to watch England bat after the promising start. Glad I went for a ride.
We were 70-1 when I went out on my bike this morning. Even by England's standards, this was abject. I expect to hear the usual platitudes and see no real change.
Looks like the T20 squad have taken a leaf out of the test squads book
Oh ffs
What can England even hope for as a good total here?
Their lowest T20 score is 80, so anything better than that?
Think now they’ll be hoping they get more than 45 - currently the lowest T20 total
Has Root blamed the bowlers yet?
I think we have devoted far too much time to the red ball game, in particular the Ashes and sacrificed the white ball game. Time to reorganise the County championship.
🤔
Let’s hope they fare better tonight
Can I technically claim my 5/0 drubbing from the ashes.
That's a short boundary in WI is gale playing?
Heh! Not seen it yet, just trying to sort a BT Sport/Virgin Media app problem out
It was looking a reasonable start but is this the start of a collapse?
Windies dropping catches so there’s a higher score for them to chase?
As it stands English sport has more recently won a world Cup ski race than an international cricket match.
That was a good bit of fielding!
And yet misses out on an LBW wicket on his figures. Welcome back, Reece!
Now it’s our turn to drop catches.
Did their best to try and throw it away!
Typical, turned it over to watch MOTD once it was clear we were going to win easily
Our tactic seemed to be “let them hit 6’s & we might catch one on the boundary!” Mahmoud’s death bowling was just everything you don’t want it to be. I’m not actually sure he even had a plan other than just to wang it as fast as possible.
At least Topleys 19th over had pace changes.
Only 225 to win then
Some degree of pongo required.
ridiculous game is T20 - it'll say 20 runs as the margin but WI were cacking themselves after 2 balls of the last over, just as we nearly blew it the other night.
No-one has a clue what a good score looks like nowadays.
How about give each team two innings, unlimited overs, and give them five days?
Make it a real test?
Woman's ashes test.....wow, how awesome was that.
Moeen put in a real captain's performance last night, with bat and ball - was great to see
How about give each team two innings, unlimited overs, and give them five days?
We tried that. We were terrible at it.
Didn't see the women's ashes will check some highlights now.
Woman’s ashes test…..wow, how awesome was that.
Yep. Went to bed last night with the Aussies something like 90-2 and assumed the game would fizzle out to a draw. Oh no, it was very much alive for both sides this morning.
And the men's T20 decider is looking rather tasty too right now.
Fizzling out for England unless they can do something amazing.
Billings (and Jordan) keeping England just about in this
Text book hat trick, all caught at cow corner.
Four in four!
Wow 4 in 4 for Holder wins the game!
