    It was rather strange basically happy taking singles with wickets in hand.

    All I can think is that as they haven't quite qualified for semis yet, it could be he realised that losing by 30 runs rather than 60 protects their overall run rate? It is odd that Koli never confirmed that though. I do remember him doing this before though, I think he was actually captain and again for no apparent reason.

    Great performance, shows how much we missed Roy and Plunkett

    Gosh, that was tense until the last over, I stayed up to listen to it, and was well worth doing that. What a difference Jason Roy makes to the squad confidence-wise, Bairstow looks a different player when he partners him.

    Just hope NZ peaked a bit early, seem to have got off the boil, let's hope so.

    Yeah I was been slightly sarcastic but a lot of cricket fans do forget how complicated the game actually is
    maybe they have more casual viewers for the world cup (assuming this is shown worldwide)

    Buttler promoted to 4. If he's on song we're in for an entertaining 20 overs!
