Very good recovery.

 

Atkinson bowling beautifully. Quick too.

 

What's happened to Bairstow? He looks two stone overweight.

 

Much better from Topley today.

 

Mitchell just loves batting against us, never seems to fail ! Get him and the games won !

 

Lol, hits Ali for 6 then hits next ball full toss straight to mid off ! Should be done now !

 

Good turn around from us, confidence boost for Livingstone, Willey and Topley. Still don't know how much it helps us regarding Indian conditions.

 

Good comeback & win for England, Kiwi’s losing 7-36 after being 111-3

 

Off to the Oval today. Better weather than last time, hopefully.

Lively start…..

 

Stokes in full slog mode.
Root continues his poor run.

 

350 plus here.

 

Stokes still doesn’t seem in nick. All brute force with little timing. As I say that he smashes two over mid-wicket.

 

Stokes reaches his quickest ODI ton off just 76 balls ! Malan out for 96, deserved a ton aswell.

 

Stokes visibly struggling with his knee. Often looks off balance through discomfort.
Unbelievable power though.
Malan is a beautiful batsman. So deserved a ton.

 

Ridiculous innings by Stokes, an England record in ODIs without ever really looking in. Genius.

 

Gutted I couldn’t get there with you……glad you saw history being made

 

Absolutely superb bowling from Woakes and Topley

 

I had a bet before going today, just for an interest - England to win, England most sixes, and England highest opening partnership. A loser after one ball!

Still had a great day, though. When we batted, Malan was sublime and Stokes was awesome, and when they batted Woakes and Topley bowled beautifully. A comprehensive win.

Disappointing really, because I hate England of course.
