    I think we're 20 light. We might defend that, but I'm not at all hopeful.

    And for me the two main reasons why we're 20 light are (1) the awful innings from Bracewell, and (2) Jordan and Overton both trying to go big, when they should have just been hitting singles to get Cartwright on strike. I still maintain that we did the right thing vs Henry.

    A minor recovery. If we start well with the ball this match is on. If we don’t… it will be over fast

    Only way we're winning this is 2 or 3 wickets in the PP.

    This is how to bat in a PP!

    Bairstow has pretty much matched our entire PP in 3 balls.

    The section after the ellipsis seems to be the important part.

    Decent catch as well, I think that ball came down with ice on it given how high it went!

    We've bowled really poorly, which isn't like us.

    This is what PP's are for - getting the innings off to a flier. Not for seeing off bowlers.

    Stupid shot from Wells. Why go after Archer in this situation?

    I cannot believe they went after Archer in that situation. See him out!

    Nice to get Abell, but as I said the other day, he's always struggled in the 100.

    Getting TKC is important.

    I think any wicket is important TBH. Also, gets Zaib to the crease who can be rash.

    Archer's set of 5 aside, we're still bowling badly. But thankfully we have four wickets.
