Great to see they got over the line with a win, a bit in and out at times but at least got the job done.

Well, didn't expect that! Complete demolition job on India. Needing 169 to win Buttler and Hales opened and knocked them off in 16 overs, astonishing.

That was about as close to a perfect game as you can get in T20. England's bowlers stifled India for 15 overs before Pandya cut loose. Rashid was the pick. He's getting better as the tournament progresses. The batting was clinical. A record parternship in T20 World Cups.
Wow, that is a win and a half, blew the Indians away with the bat particularly. I just hope we didn't peak too soon.
