With Buttler now gone, there's a lot of pressure on Moeen. His batting has gone right off in the last year or so.
 
Fantastic from Buttler.
England don't need to do anything rash now.

Let's put these Aussies in their place.
 
Baffled by Vince.
Played a lovely innings and helped get England into a run a ball position.
I knew he was going to get out, as he started to play needlessly attacking shots.
 
England have really struggled in these last few overs.
Losing to the ****ing Aussies just before the World Cup is not great, all be it, not with our strongest side.
The Aussies won't care about that though.

Rashid has looked like a village green batsman.

Stupid fixture just before the tournament .
 
South Africa have a spinner on for the first over in the first game in the World Cup ... and Bairstow is gone for his first ball :emoticon-0107-sweat
 
39-1 after 6 overs, about 30 runs down on what has been the norm of late...

First day nerves?

The early wicket was bound to curb the scoring. Root has done well to steady things whilst still scoring at a run a ball.

83-1 after 14 overs is a good platform towards a 350 total.
