Prasanna's enjoying himself.

 

Oh, dear

 

Nice one, Woakes.

 

Not liking the way this is going. We have chased big scores before, but can come unstuck in a big run chase.

 

266-8 Mathews out .

 

SL finish on 286-9

 

England 12-2

21-3

37-4

 

Just stupid. Tom, you are Forgiven, though I b agree it's not over yet..

 

72-5. See you all tomorrow.........

 

Just went to get petrol and enjoying my usual sport of making 4 x 4s pull over (on principle, because they shouldn't buy such stupid cars for the Island) and another wicket gone.

 

6th wicket gone....this is shameful. Am going to watch Dickinson's Real Deal.

 

Woakes on 50; Butler 82. How we got here from there I have no idea.

 

Woakes will be a mainstay in the England team (multiple formats) in due course. He's finally started to find his feet this summer. Stokes and Buttler weren't always great when they first started in an England shirt either, but if you give talented guys the time.

 

Buttler out for 93....still time, but I think that could be it. We were drifting to a possible win.

 

Plunkett needed a 6 for a tie and he did it.

 

Christ almighty Plunkett's tied it with a 6 off the last ball! Are you ****ing kidding me?

 

Unbelievable.

 

It was crucial when SL fumbled the previous ball and allowed England to run a three.

 

Just came in and watched the last hour or so, what a superb and thrilling end to the match, heroic stuff from Woakes and Plunkett ( I missed most of Buttler's inninings)

 

So, so many hitters in this team. Put Stokes in for Moeen once he's fit again, and the hitting is even bigger.
