It is essential for Ben Duckett and Joe Root as the form players to see off Rashid Khan's threat as much as possible.

Most of the English middle-order batters have a really poor record against Rashid across all formats of cricket:

• Harry Brook v Rashid Khan: Five innings, three dismissals, 23 runs off 26 balls
• Jos Buttler v Rashid Khan: 13 innings, five dismissals, 55 runs off 78 balls
• Liam Livingstone v Rashid Khan: 17 innings, six dismissals, 138 runs off 101 balls

 

Duckett can have a read of that now he is back in the shed.

 

Running singles isn't going to win the match. If they're going to persevere with that they might as well pack in now and come home

 

Livingstone gone. Shouldn't be too much longer, just hope Root gets his ton.

 

Well batted Joe. (Again!)

 

Is this the end for Buttler as captain? Never looked completely comfortable in the job after Morgan quit

 

Wow, what a 6 that is from Root

 

it looked like we might win for like 7 minutes

 

Class this

 

Haway Rash lad

 

Come on home lads, the weather is ****!

 

Bugger. Clear out incoming

 

That was painful. Had it in the palm of our hand with 2 overs to go.

 

We had that game won a few times then simply gifted wicket. What the hell was Overtons dismissal he literally just chipped it in the air straight to there man not even a mishit

 

Salt gone early again. Need a rethink once this tournament is over.

 

Smith gone. Over to you again Joe

 

Painful this!

 

It’s been painful watching us in white ball cricket for a couple of years now

 

Great start here for NZ. Cracking catch from Phillips to get rid of Kohli
